I've read all the negative reviews, before I started the series, so expected not a great viewing. I was pleasantly surprised. Turns out this reboot is very entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Yes it's not Shakespeare people.... Of course their could be more in-depth character development, and of course there are some plot holes, but they are minor that it doesn't detract from the series.

Don't be turned off by all the critical people. If you want to be entertained with a good Sci-Fi series, then this serious hits it out of the park. Everyone does say the special effects are fantastic and I agree. Great eye candy.

Reminds me of Judy's comments in the first episode when she ask Penny does she have anything trashy to read. Yeah sometimes you don't want to be analytical all the time. You just want to be entertained. This series hits that mark. Enjoy and ignore the negative Nellies.
