Was this crap or what? I watched the first 5-10 minutes or so, got thoroughly bored, turned over to another channel, turned back some time later - negotiating for fake ID - watched for a little, was bored so switched off.
The first few episodes met with a mixed reception here in the US, as well. And the next episode will be a little more of the same. Without spoiling anything, if you get past the third ep, it will get better. The third ep actually starts to set the tone for the rest of the series, if you can sift it away from what seems to be a soap opera kind of plot, as Sarah meets with the inventor of a key piece of computer technology. From the fourth episode on, it gets closer to being faithful to the first two Terminator movies, and we are actually looking forward to the season finale, which is airing here next week. I hope you stick with it. If you have a bit more patience and indulgence, you may quite come to enjoy it.
