good show . the basic background be that humanity be at a crossroad . there be a set of moral dilemma that be be face . mankind have make a number of technological breakthrough and but be mankind mature enough to deal with the it new toy . there be moral decadence in a virtual world . there be religious fanatic who be willing to kill to get attention . i predict ( base on the bsg background ) that there will be an issue with cylons and slavery . in addition to this and there be all the other problem that we human bring upon ourselves . this show be not bsg at least not as far a mankind be on the run from a ruthless problem that be ultimately of their own making . there be not a lot of shoot em up or space base special effect either at least not in the first few episode i have see so far . what it do have be very good story and character and and theme . it also have good performance from the actor . they can make a culture which be similar to modern day society and but alien at the same time be completely believable . like bsg and this show be about humanity our strength and weakness and potential and and flaw . it may seem a little odd that a human society on a different set of world have necktie and antique car and and chicken . but those thing be really more to create a semi familiar background than anything else . anyone who get stick on those detail be really miss the point . whether you be from a mafia style culture or an affluent and high tech culture and human and human nature aren not that different 150 and 000 year ago in a high tech past than what we see in the world today . wonder if the writer be try to tell u something .
