One of TV’s boldest and best dramas. |

Boston Globe Joanna Weiss
This is a show about religion, politics, parent-child relationships, and the moral dilemmas of insurgency. Consider it a workplace drama where the business is armed resistance. |

"Battlestar Galactica" is one of the most politically relevant and necessarily bleak series on television today. |

San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman
"Battlestar Galactica" not only lives up to its sci-fi gold-standard reputation but also should be considered straight up as one of television's most appealing dramas, no matter the genre. |

Any show that can accommodate decadent cruelty, tragic bravery, and political divisiveness is one you ought to be watching, frakkin' spaceships or not. |

The uninitiated may continue to write off "Battlestar Galactica" as the remake of a mediocre show, or as the domain of science fiction fans alone, but those who've watched the show more than once or twice know better. |

"Battlestar" is many cuts above the usual outer-space shoot-'em-up. |
