Sanctuary Season 2

Right now you can watch Sanctuary Season 2 on and — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. 301 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Amanda Tapping's performance is the anchor the more ambitious scenes need. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Sanctuary Season 2 is worth clearing space for. What makes Sanctuary Season 2 work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. Season 2 of Sanctuary includes 13 episodes. It aired from October 2009 to January 2010. This season stars Amanda Tapping, Robin Dunne and Christopher Heyerdahl. Amanda Tapping and Robin Dunne lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2009. What separates Sanctuary Season 2 from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Sanctuary Season 2 a chance. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Amanda Tapping grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
