Product Description

Sanctuary follows the exploits of Dr Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping of Stargaze SG1 7 Stargate Atlantis) as she seeks out all manner of terrifying and monstrous creatures. She is aided in her quest by her reluctant protégé Will Zimmerman and her intrepid, if somewhat reluctant daughter Ashley. Together they will be drawn into a frightening and mysterious world populated by beings that deft explanation. Features all 13 episodes from season 1. Extras include original webisodes, 3 featurettes, audio commentary on all 13 episodes, plus a bloopers reel and gallery.

Synopsis

This fantasy TV series from Canada follows the bizarre adventures of Dr. Helen Magnus, a British doctor whose area of expertise lies in cryptobiology -- which is to say, monsters. Constantly seeking out the strange and secret creatures seldom seen by others, Dr. Magnus is sometimes confronted with life forms too dangerous to unleash on the public. Often it's the subjects of the doctor's study that are really in danger, and so --believing it to be her moral duty to protect them from the fearful, prying eyes of humanity-- she sets up a 'sanctuary' for the universe's misfits. This release includes the complete first series.

5.0 out of 5 stars not my sort of thing, but I love it, 26 April 2009
By Susan Belcher "Su B" (St Helens, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I've never been a fan of science fiction, but some reason that this series appeals to me. In fact, I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I stumbled across it by accident while flicking through channels one day, and I've been an addict ever since.

The best I can relate it to is a cross between Dark Angel (Dark Angel: Complete Season 1 [DVD] [2001]), Poltergeist the Legacy (Poltergeist The Legacy - Season 1 [DVD]), Veritas the Quest (never been released on DVD), and Primeval (Primeval - Series 1 and 2 Box Set [DVD]).

This series originally started as 8 webisodes available from 2007. These webisodes built up such a cult following that the series was eventually commissioned the television.

The series stars, and is produced by, Essex girl Amanda Tapping (Stargate S.G. 1 - Series 1-10 - Complete/The Ark Of Truth/Continuum [DVD] [1997], Stargate Atlantis - Season 1 [DVD] [2004]) as Dr. Helen Magnus who is ably assisted by daughter Ashley Magnus (Emilie Ullerup), and Dr. Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne). Also appearing as part of this "Scooby gang" are going Christopher Heyerdahl ("Bigfoot"), and Ryan Robbins (as Henry Foss).

The first TV series has 13 episodes, and the second series has now been commissioned and started filming in April 2009.

*** EXTRAS ***

- Commentaries for all episodes
- Webisodes
- Making of Sanctuary
- Bloopers
- Photo gallery
- Season two preview


I recommend this series to anyone (science fiction fan or not), it's a good bit of escapist fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 11 Jan 2009
By M. Virgo "Ogriv1" (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent show, with action, drama, science fiction and great charecter development all thrown in. I was unfamilier with the actors other that Amanda Tapping who was back to her best which made her a favorite with Stargate.

If you like such shows as Supernatural, Dresden Files etc i suggest you check Sanctuary out.

Just hope they do Season 2

5.0 out of 5 stars Bril!, 25 Feb 2009
This is an amazing series, with great storylines, wonderful characters and some brilliant humour. All the actors are amazing (especially Amanda Tapping), and the way the show links up with history is really interesting.
In response to the review about the "bad" british accent, if you understand the storyline you will understand why Magnus doesn't have a typical british accent. Accept it as part of a 3 dimensional character (who originates from victorian times), and just enjoy all the layers that have been put into this series.
