There is a mini-series, which leads into 4 seasons of BG.
I liked the premise of the story but the writing fails so miserably that you end up so many times lust saying "What?"
Far too many times characters flip-flop unrealistically in their behavior it's like they are all schizo and makes it obvious it was just to drive whatever storyline of that episode they were emphasizing. Baltar being easily the worst of them. (And why he cries basically every single episode he is in is beyond me) Starbuck is extremely unlikable as well and at several points there were multiple characters I was just hoping got killed off
The only character I liked for the entirety is Helo because he remains consistent in the way he conducts himself.
I don't want to give anything away, but their use of time is lame, as there is one period of time that the most amount of messed up stuff happens (apparently anyway) that is only covered in maybe 3 episodes.
The special effects are passable for a tv show but the writing is so bad and results in completely inconsistent behaviours from the characters not-subtle-at-all religious overtones just make the overall experience unsatisfying.
Go watch "The Expanse" if you want a more enjoyable sci-fi show.
