Sanctuary For All

Sanctuary

Scifi has a new show, Sanctuary.

Sanctuary follows the adventures of the beautiful, enigmatic and always surprising Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping, best known to fans as the brilliant Col. Samantha Carter on Stargate SG-1), a brilliant scientist who holds the secrets of a clandestine population — a group of strange and sometimes terrifying beings that hide among humans.

I just caught the premiere, thanks to Hulu (and if you want to catch it, better be quick. It expires from Hulu in a matter of days from this writing). I have to say, the premise is promising, though the 1.5 hour long show dragged a bit for my tastes. The idea of supernatural folk living amongst us is not new, though this idea of a Sanctuary, a place for them to either 1) seek safety or 2) be imprisoned, is interesting.

I’m going to catch the remaining episodes available on Hulu over the next little bit and see how it goes.
