I was hoping it would be good - but I was entirely prepared for it to suck.And after the first episode, I'm still not sure; I think the jury's out. The series departs from T3 and obviously treats that movie as if it never happened. Sarah Conner does NOT die of leukemia in 1997. While ditching the script and events described in T3, happily, the show otherwise embraces the mythos developed in T1 and T2. I think that's a good thing, writing wise.Without giving anything away, the acting from the core trio seems quite decent and there are no complaints there.Beyond that, we have an Arnie style Model Terminator who is wooden and  kinda iffy.  Then again - so was Arnie, so that's not a serous knock.The recurring FBI character I'm not so sure about - and there are elements of "1 hour Drama" to his character and his apparent role in the plot - so I think the jury is still out.  If the whole thing is going to spin off into Cheese World - the main attack will be from his character I think (setting aside the alternative cheese-o-rama of the budding romance with John and "Cameron" - as I'm prepared to see where that goes).For all that, it was good enough that i would say that I enjoyed it and will tune in for the next episode. It's not yet "appointment TV" - but I'm hopeful that it might become that.Worth a watch to see if it's your thing.</blockquote>
