As far as critical reception goes, like a lot of shows, Battlestar Galactica’s quality diminished in its laster seasons, and the series finale is still among one of the most polarizing endings to a show ever.
Nevertheless, overall Battlestar Galactica is considered to be one of the best TV shows of all time, so how is this new series going to measure up if it’s simply redoing the original concept again?
Maybe if this show were 20-30 years separated from the last series, that would help when it comes to standing out, but right now, even with a talented showrunner like Sam Esmail running things, it’s hard to imagine this new series coming close to the last series’ level of quality, let alone exceeding it.
