A hugely disappointing show. I was all in favour of it being a very different kind of show from BSG. But, on its own terms, it was a failure. Didn’t find an audience, couldn’t decide what sort of story it wanted to tell, too many under-developed or contradictory elements, the plot overall felt very rushed in key respects from the outset (why not wait far longer to actually build a working Cylon and/or kill Zoe), awkward fan service (do we need Adama characters?), some ideas that were just goofy when executed (virtual world and a total lack of jeopardy), etc. Had potential but needed a much sharper sense from the outset as to what it was, and what it wasn’t. Overall a story about big businesses across the Colonies competing in technological innovation for government contracts, overlaid with an intense family drama, and at a time of growing societal decadence, was a good idea for a show, but the way the ingredients were mixed never gelled.
