>Since you brought it up a couple of weeks ago, I keep seeing glowing mentions of "Battlestar Galactica". Maybe I will try to repress my aversion to sci-fi long enough to give it a look, if I ever get through the current backlog.
Like I said it is only sci fi in that Sopranos is a gangster movie.
There is a Miniseries that is sort of the prequel to the whole TV series which Netflix shows as disc 1 of season 1 so start there.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
