Plenty of new television series need a season or two to sort themselves out, and as this three-disc, 13-episode (plus bonus features) box set from the second season (2007) reveals, the Sci-Fi Channel’s Eureka is still a work in progress--which is not a bad thing, considering that it’s one of the more provocative and ambitious shows out there. For the uninitiated, here’s the basic premise: Sheriff Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson), accompanied by his teenage daughter Zoe (Jordan Hinson), is stationed in Eureka, a picturesque little burg somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Eureka is hardly Anytown, USA; indeed, this is the place where 'the world’s greatest thinkers' live and work, most of them at Global Dynamics, 'the most advanced scientific facility in the world.' It’s also a place where exceedingly strange things happen on a regular basis. In Season Two, those happenings include people spontaneously combusting, becoming invisible, turning into gold, or simply disappearing (and leaving nothing behind--not even a memory that they ever existed); a 'personal force field' that’s growing so large and so fast that it will soon engulf the whole town, and maybe even the whole world; freaky weather that changes by the moment; and even an experiment to re-create the Big Bang inside a Global Dynamics lab, leading to some unexpected side effects.
These developments are all presented with enough cool special effects and scientific techno-babble to make Eureka a perfectly viable and sometimes quite dramatic science fiction diversion. But there’s more--much more. Sometimes this is a show about relationships: Jack and Zoe (custody becomes an issue when Jack’s ex, played by Olivia D’Abo, shows up in the early episodes); Jack and Allison Blake (Salli Richardson), Global Dynamics’ new boss (their growing attraction is complicated by the continued presence of her ex, a genius scientist type); Jack and his pal Henry (Joe Morton), who blames Jack for his girlfriend’s death but gradually learns there’s more to it than that. Much of the time it’s a comedy, heavy on the quirks; and, in a change from the first year, it’s also a serial, with several story arcs continuing over the course of the season. All of that can make Eureka a but convoluted and hard to get a handle on, but this show is a keeper. Extensive bonus features include deleted scenes, gag reels, podcast commentaries, and a good deal more. --Sam Graham

Rating:  - Thanks!!!
Everything was as expected. This show is so much fun!!! I am glad we recieved the cd's so quickly. Thanks!!!!
Rating: - great!!!
My husband and I have viewed about half of the dvd set.I missed the second season when it came on TV.It used to be that all new seasons started at the same time in the fall, but not any more, alas.So I bought the dvd set.The second season is just as good as the first.I really love this show.I like this kind of futuristic sci-fi and there's enough humor to weight off some of the heavier subject matter.It is a real winner!
Rating: - Fanastic
Can't wait for the third season, as season two left on a bit of a cliff hanger.
Rating:  - Fun, Smart, Entertaining
This show is fun and smart and season 2 ratches up the clever! The season long story line of the artifact comes to a very satisfiying conclusion. The trouble these genius get into is smart and quiry. Great actin, great writing.
Rating:  - science?
The writers of Eureka have always been pretty wacky with their knowledge of science (if you can even get away with calling it knowledge), but it's always been fun and kitschy until the "God is in Details" episode. The support of a god and an overly religious episode like this just killed it for me and logical thinkers. The episode was not only hard to take in because it showed a community of scientists embracing something without evidence, but it was so blatant that it was basically propaganda. At ... Read More
