Battlestar Galactica (2004)
Battlestar Galactica (2004) is a critically acclaimed science fiction television series that reimagines the original 1978 series. Set in a distant star system, it follows the last remnants of humanity as they flee a deadly attack from the Cylonsโsentient machines originally created by humans who have now turned against them. The Cylons, now capable of creating humanoid versions indistinguishable from real humans, launch a devastating assault on the Twelve Colonies, wiping out most of humanity.
The survivors, led by Commander William Adama (Edward James Olmos) aboard the aging battleship Battlestar Galactica and President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell), band together in a fleet of civilian ships. They embark on a perilous journey across the galaxy, pursued by the relentless Cylons, in search of the fabled Thirteenth Colony: Earth. The series explores deep themes such as survival, identity, faith, and morality, delving into complex character dynamics and political tensions within the fleet.
Throughout its four-season run, Battlestar Galactica gained acclaim for its mature storytelling, gritty realism, and thought-provoking narrative, marking it as one of the most influential sci-fi series of its time.
