This show won't be for everyone, as you can see the reviews are either good or bad with very little middle range. Instead of giving you a hard- sci-fi show like BSG, BBC has gone with a reboot of humanity, showing what happens when people from the old world are set up on a new planet, able to create a Utopian society, but struggling with old world opinions and in some cases old world actions such as subterfuge and scheming. The arrival of new people to the planet shows how the old settlers who have learned to live in relative harmony are returned to all the pains and struggles of earth, and yet in every episode you can see as people try to overcome their old habits in turn for good.
If you're looking for something new that is still planting its main story plots and creating characters, you should at least give this a try. If you're looking for a British BSG, you should go elsewhere.
