One of the best...nah...the very best SF series ever. Space is a horrible place with infinite ways to kill you This ever present peril adds a sharp nuance to this excellent series which just keeps getting better. Warning ! The first couple of episodes have a hell of a lot of world building and character introduction...though there is still knife edge action. Viewers with the attention span of a gnat ...this might not be for you. Anyone else stick with it...you will be hooked!

I love that no one's perfect, no one's a super hero, no one's immortal and all are expendable. The bad guys twist the knife and the good guys make mistakes, you couldn't ask for more real characters in an unreal, or rather not yet realised, future. Love it

The books are great, the TV adaptation is great. I don't normally like SciFi but the production quality and the attention to detail make other "Space Operas" look silly. Quality watching and quality reading.
