I remember watching it when it was first shown in NZ, or maybe a rerun in the early 1980s, but I don't think I've seen it since then. So ~40 years.
It was shown on Orange (Sky channel in the UHF days) in the mid 90s, we used to watch it on a Wednesday in my student flat before going to the pub.
I also remember that the follow up series Battlestar Gallactica 80s (I think it was called) was available as a series of movies at the video store in the late 80s. Wasn't that good as most of the characters weren't in it and it was kid focused with kid characters. The kids could speed read. There was one good episode, it was the one where Starbuck is stuck on a planet with a Cylon. A BSG version of Enemy Mine/Hell in the Pacific.
Not sure I could watch it now due to the episodic nature of the show.

I'm watching them for nostalgic reasons.
I have the 21-episode Battlestar Galactica TV series, Mission Galactica TV movie (which includes some of the former series episodes) and then Galactica 1980. That will keep me busy.

Succession.
I'm into the 3rd episode and can't make up my mind. Is it a dramedy? Seems like a naff version of House of Lies.
It's better

@MiketheSnow really? I'll try and stick with it...

@Bones @MiketheSnow I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I have an aversion to shows based on reality. Not sure if its because we already know the (real) outcome, but it just holds no interest to me. I think I need to be surprised with a show.

@Bones said in TV Serieseseses:
@voodoo FYI - War Dogs is based on reality
Don't you ruin it for me!!! Next you'll be telling me Superbad was real too!
But seriously, I can watch a doco or a movie based on real events, but not a 3-4 series TV show, that's too much of an investment when you know the outcome.

@MiketheSnow I thought it was about the Murdoch family and empire. Could be wrong, that happens a bit these days

Either way, fantastic TV

finally finished S1 of The Sinner (every day footy messes with the TV schedule)
Got a bit slow in the middle, but the finish was pretty great.
Are the other seasons worth it?
