Sanctuary Season 1
SCORE: 53
There are so many wonderful people who spent countless hours contributing to Family Friendly Gaming. I decided it was time for me to take on a television show and review it. Amanda Tapping plays Dr. Helen Magnus. She is a scientist who studies and protects abnormals. What is an abnormal? Pretty much anything we do not currently know about. So things of myth, legend and rumor. Sanctuary Season 1 has an unique take on vampires for instance.
I know that Stargate may have been a more well known pick, but Sanctuary is newer. And it helps broaden my horizons. Dr Will Zimmerman is recruited since he has an eye for what happens on a crime scene. And the cops of today ridicule him. The abnormals understand and love him. Yes I am being facetious.
Sanctuary Season 1 is dark and dank in its presentation. I am surprised at how few characters there are in this television series. Of course a season is only thirteen episodes so its rather short. Sanctuary Season 1 contains blood, gore, death, and enticement to lust. Its like the creators of Sanctuary Season 1 decided to list all of the bad things, and purposely include them.
I can understand being freaked out by monsters, but the bad language is not really needed in Sanctuary Season 1. Its like the kids trying to be cool by blackening their lungs. They do it because they think that is what they need to do to be cool. The music does what it can to freak out the viewer. The best way to describe Sanctuary Season 1 is a horror film where the evil things are valued and protected. A reversal on reality.
The church is attacked in Sanctuary Season 1, especially in relation to the history of vampires. Sanctuary Season 1 promotes the religious belief of evolution. Monsters are given the same value as people. In some aspects of Sanctuary Season 1 monsters are shown as more valuable than people. The show ends with Ashley (Dr Magnus’ daughter) being kidnapped by the Cabal. They are a ruthless organization determined to rule the world and start a war with abnormals. Kind of like Cobra in GI Joe.
Sanctuary
Season 1 includes a few bonus features that viewers will check out.
Especially after burning through the measly thirteen episodes. There is
audio commentary, webisodes, making of featurettes, bloopers, behind the
scenes photo gallery, and a sneak peak of season two. I can see little
reason to re-watch any of the episodes in Sanctuary Season 1. Honestly
there is little reason to watch it in the first place. Just pass please.
