Watched and loved the original TV series, grew up with it in fact. Not so keen on the film but was still very watchable.

This series is definitely different and thanks heavens it is - more of a reboot than a recreation.

The storyline and scenarios are very good and it has a quality feel with nice acting performances. Sure many things are different but get over it - this series stands on it's own.

Overall, if you want an interesting space drama then this is very watchable and I'd recommend it. All the characters are there.

Now to the embittered idiots who feel it is useful to give 1* . This is a rating reserved for "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and similar total garbage. Giving 1* for a well acted quality drama is ridiculous and reflects on the small mindedness of those doing it. Shame on you.
