The Terminator franchise has fallen on hard times since the highs of T2: Judgement Day. Even if a sequel is remotely good, the bad taste left in viewers' mouths by the terrible movies is hard to overcome. That's part of what happened with The Saran Connor Chronicles.

Initially set in 1999, four years after the events of T2, Sarah, John and a Terminator named Cameron are on the run from a new Skynet threat. They time jump to the year 2007 in another attempt to prevent Judgement Day and mount an offensive on Skynet.

Starring Lena Headey and Summer Glau, The Sarah Connor Chronicles did not get the respect it deserved, both for the quality of story it gave fans and in expanding the franchise's narrative. Off the air for over a decade, now, this is definitely a series worth revisiting.
