“with cutting-edge technology, Sanctuary creates a world teaming with mermaids, dinosaurs and monster mayhem” – TV Guide
Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) is a brilliant and enigmatic scientist who seeks out all manner of monstrous creatures. Aided by her protégé, forensic psychiatrist Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne), and her fearless daughter Ashley (Emilie Ullerup), the Sanctuary team tracks down, studies and protects the strange and often terrifying creatures that secretly populate our world.

Helmed by some of the innovative talents behind Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, the series creative team includes executive producer, writer and creator Damian Kindler; executive producer and lead actor Amanda Tapping; and executive producer and director Martin Wood.
BONUS FEATURES:

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.

First, it's compelling. Sure, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense - a staff of what, five or so? The action sequences, especially shootouts, are poorly done - Magnus just stands there shooting, for the most part. Ludicrous. The CGI, at least in this season, is not great, but it's the stories that carry you along - some are quite surprising and complex, especially the one with Drawing Boy. The characters are great fun and well written, what with the James (Sherlock) Watson and Jack the Ripper and company.

The complete first season of SANCTUARY is offered in a fine 4-DVD set featuring the original series, following one Dr. Helen Magnus on her quest to study and protect legendary creatures that live with humans. Surround sound, widescreen selection, and numerous extras include audio commentaries on all 13 episodes with case and crew, bloopers, and more in a set not to be missed.

Having only seen Ms. Tapping in the Stargate series (followed it for maybe a season and a half), I was quite impressed with her role here. She does quite well and carries the show through its rough start. Season One ended stronger than it started, but Season Two will really determine whether watching this season was worth it.
For Tapping fanboys, this would be a "must buy", as she really is impressive.

Anyone who loves Amanda Tapping, this is a must have in any sci-fi collection. Awesome show!!!!!!
