After Cylon robots destroy most of humanity, Commander William Adama of an aging warship, about to become a museum, leads some 50,000 survivors on the run, alongside Laura Roslin, the education secretary suddenly made president.
Starring Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Michael Hogan
Viewers who want sci-fi built on politics and moral arguments more than space battles will settle in. The fleet has to jump away from the Cylons every 33 minutes, and after days without sleep people snap at each other. Military officers and civilian leaders keep clashing over what the survivors owe one another, and Olmos plays Adama as weary.
Watch the 2003 miniseries first, since it works as the pilot, and expect season three to slow down in the middle.
