Caprica is worth a look
I developed into a massive fan of Ron Moore's updated Battlestar Galactica series, which, despite a few difficult moments along the way, delivered excellent performances and gripping drama parcelled up nicely in a retro futurist style, all chunky phones and projectile weapons. Though its use of fantastical elements, particularly in its conclusion, divided its fans, I loved it. It was epic television and Proper SF. →

Battlestar Galactica
The original Battlestar Galactica series wasn't something I ever watched, though being a proper SF geek I was at least aware of its existence and could happily hum the theme tune if asked. I'd seen bits of it, here and there, and was not impressed. It was just so camp, so cheap, so dated. It was for this reason that when I heard that the series was to be remade, I wasn't overly bothered. →
