Battlestar Galactica

2003 · 1 season

A grim, talky, dread-soaked scramble for survival that feels more like a war documentary than a space adventure.

How it feels: Dark, tense, bleak and earnest. Measured and demanding.
About: Survival, isolation, faith, identity
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
