Terra Nova - The Complete Series - Region 2 DVD

From the visually stunning first episode, it's clear there's been a commitment to get the look and feel of Terra Nova just right. It's a compelling world that's created, and the family in the midst of it, led by Jason O'Mara's Jim Shannon, have a real battle on their hands. It is the human side that sometimes lets the side down a little, with the weaker moments of Terra Nova coming when some of the storylines feel like retreads of different shows. But it really comes together by the end of the season run, and there are some terrific episodes here.

One of the bonuses of the disc set, too, is to see a previously-unscreened extended version of the last ever episode of the show. You also, though, get a special director's diary feature, and an assortment of behind the scenes featurettes on the four-disc set. It's an interesting, muddled show, certainly, but Terra Nova still has enough moments to warrant watching. --Jon Foster
