During the last decade, science fiction has made an unparalleled qualitative leap that is being reflected both in movies, as Dennis Villeneuve demonstrates with his recent Dune, and in TV series, which have been streaming on platforms like Apple TV+ or Netflix. However, there’s a series that may be above them all, which just turned 20 years old and reigns in the sci-fi world: Battlestar Galactica.
Currently available on the streaming platform SkyShowtime, Battlestar Galactica dates back to 2004, although it’s actually based on a 1978 series that, at the time, was the most expensive TV fiction production in history. Additionally, there are several movies that complement this universe that many geeks have become immersed in. But what makes Battlestar Galactica so special? And above all, why should you watch it as soon as possible?
