This fantasy TV series from Canada follows the bizarre adventures of Dr. Helen Magnus, a British doctor whose area of expertise lies in cryptobiology -- which is to say, monsters. Constantly seeking out the strange and secret creatures seldom seen by others, Dr. Magnus is sometimes confronted with life forms too dangerous to unleash on the public. But often times, the subjects of the doctor's study are the ones in danger, and she believes it is her moral duty to protect them from the fearful, prying eyes of humanity, setting up what she calls a "sanctuary" for the universe's misfits. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
