Terminator Zero (No Spoilers) (20th September 2024)

Terminator Zero on Netflix is animated in a similar style to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

Starts strongly, slows down a little and is worth settling in as a viewer. I let it develop at its own pace and was rewarded with a captivating story. Intrigue and reflection feature as prominently as chase sequences and shoot-outs. A little like Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles.

A light sprinkle of back-references and echoes from other works in the franchise help it gel with the timeline(s) we already know. It’s definitely a Terminator story and one told with the sensitivity and thoughtfulness of popular sci-fi at its best.
