While I knew of it, I was not really familiar with the original series, so I had no affinity to the show. But I looked forward to a sci-fi dramatic series that may have been suitable for my younger kids (7 & 10) to watch and enjoy. This reboot has high production values and is well acted. There are some science and logic shortfalls that you have to look past (there are a few things that really seem out of place for 2048), but they certainly don't detract from the effectiveness and enjoyability of the show. There were only a few uneasy moments while watching with my children (an unrestrained "bullshit", some very intense scenes, and a few adult-ish conversations about relationships), but not deal breakers for us. I liked that the world/situations continued to expand, and that we get to explore some fascinating things in this new world along with the characters; it didn't feel as 'cramped' as I was expecting. Overall, a better than most sci-fi effort, and worth watching for all but the most jaded and cynical.
