Eh, just watched the first episode. Looks like a combination of Bsg and babylon 5. More boring dark, gritty dystopian fiction.
Interesting...you should watch a few more episodes. This is nothing like BSG or Babylon 5. It's really good science fiction and not really like anything before it. I was not that into it on the first episode either, but then after about 3 episodes and especially after reading the books, I became excited about it.
