Sanctuary: The Complete First Season Reviews:
Sanctuary is acheived 
2009-11-28 - This show is a SciFi dream come true. Amanda Tapping leads a terrific cast of misfits through the world of the forgotten and unseen. An intersting plot line that leaves years of opportunity to explore. The stories are well written with a great balance of action and suspense. A great way to escape the world today and expore the unrevealed world of the sanctuary.
Amazing
2009-11-28 - This series was great the first time and even better the second. Great idea for anyone who likes Stargate or Fringe. Excellant.
great 
2009-11-24 - I live in the netherlands and have seen sanctuary for the first time on SCFI_europe , its a great story with good actors. In the future i will definetly buy other seasons of this.
Pleasantly Surprised 
2009-11-24 - Not having cable, I decided to take a chance on the show. I thoroughly enjoyed the mix of detective style drama and supernatural. I would recommend this to fans of either genre.
Pleasantly surprised!
2009-11-21 - While I had my doubts about Amanda Tapping's move to this series (and for that manner the shift in "Stargate" story line) I've been pleasantly surprised by both the content and the level of technology in this series. Received in good order and in Amazon's usual prompt delivery time and condition. Viewed without incident and am quite happy with my purchase.
