This is a prequel to BSG, however, watching that show isn't a prerequisite for tuning in to this one. Instead of an edgy, hard-hitting, very sci-fi space drama, Caprica is more of a thoughtful, family saga that just happens to take place on a world that looks a lot like ours, but is way more futuristic.

The gist is that Eric Stoltz is a power-hungry genius, who has a precocious daughter who likes to sneak out at night, help stage rebellions and make life-like duplicates of herself for fun. After a tragic accident, Stoltz decides to exploit the artificial intelligence technology that his daughter developed for his own gain. Esai Morales, is a hard-working blue-collar type used to being looked down on, who meets up with Stoltz, but doesn't buy into his whole crazy mad AI plan. The two are sort of the Hatfield and McCoys of the series, so look forward to lots of showdowns between them. Oh, and robots. Yeah, in this world there are robots. But they are robots with feelings, so it isn't the most sci-fi thing ever.
