Hey dood! This post caught my eye because Battlestar Galactica is one of my all time favorite sci-fi series ever created. I have never seen the original and in this case I don't even feel the need to see it since I have heard it is not really that great and most of the roles belong only to male actors :D Starbuck being one of those that were flipped to being a woman instead and as you can probably guess, she is my absolute favorite. I mean, badass pilot, with all the edge, misunderstood, damaged, impulsive, very alive, something I consider myself being very similar to and relate to the most.

BSG is a type of show that pulls you in and it is hard to step away and not watch it in one go. I binged it the same way as you did. I have since binged it multiple times and probably will in the future too. In my opinion, it is that good! I love everything about it. The struggle for humans to survive, the inner demons they are forced to face, the questions of what is considered to be consciousness, Cylon ability to live several lives of the same versions of themselves, or even the same version just continuing on as the vessel breaks down and they just move on to a new "sleeve". The show keeps you on toes the whole time and makes you think about stuff you would not normally think about. You can only imagine what it did to my young teenage brain at the time I discovered it xD It further solidified my love for all things sc-fi.

And sci-fi series this good rarely come along. There are only a handful I could mention alongside BSG. Those would be The Expanse, The Westworld, The first season of Altered Carbon, the miniseries ,surprisingly, from Netflix called Love, Death & Robots. There are older ones that are more lighthearted, that I would not necessarily put in the same bag, but still can recommend, All of the Stargate series, Farscape, and Star Treks. I think there is definitely more, but they are escaping my memory at this point in time.

Huge sci-fi nerd here xD And lately my sci-fi cravings have been unsatisfied and it almost feels like people don't make good shit these days anymore which is very disappointing. They even canceled Altered Carbon after season two because of lack of ratings, which was so stupid, because that show has more potential than anything I've seen being out there. They just botched it with season two not matching the thrill and the amazing cast they had in the first one. Very Ghost in The Shell vibes from that one.

Anyhow, so cool you found this show! Your review made me want to watch it again haha!
