The Patrick reviewedSeptember 16, 2025
This show was recommended to me back in 2010, and here I am in 2025 finally giving it a watch. Unpopular opinion: I’ve struggled to fully enjoy it. I’m a huge sci-fi fan—Star Trek, The Expanse, Star Wars, Firefly, etc.—and while parts of the story really work for me, others don’t land.
Season 1 has been my least favorite so far, but Season 2 pulled me in more. I may revisit this review after I finish Season 4, but so far it hasn’t matched the hype for me. I suspect it would have hit harder if I’d watched it when it originally aired; coming to it fresh in 2025 is tougher when so many similar—or stronger—series exist now.
That said, I can see why it’s beloved. Even if I’m not enjoying it as much as others, it’s a good show with a great cast and characters. I really want to like it more—and maybe, with time, I will. To be continued…
Update: this show has grown on me since finishing it a little while ago. I am now proud to be a BSG fan.
