1/13-33

Science fiction doesn't just predict the future: it can also hold up a mirror to the present, and there are echoes of the world around us throughout this dazzling wagon-trains-in-space opera. Sky Three has missed a trick in not preceding the series with the explanatory pilot, but you'll soon pick things up. In a nutshell, mankind in another corner of the universe is trying to escape the machines that turned against them and laid waste to their 12 home worlds. But the Cylons seem hell-bent on total extermination. It's all filmed in an edgy, reportage style - effects included - that thrusts you right into the action. Tremendous.
