Caprica is a television series set in the fictional Battlestar Galactica universe. Beginning 58 years before the events seen in Battlestar Galactica, Caprica tells the story of how Colonial humanity first created the robotic cylons, who would later plot to destroy human civilization in retaliation for their enslavement.

Caprica differs significantly from its parent series, due to creative and commercial demands. Ronald D. Moore had strong feelings on the matter, explaining his starting point was "you don't try to repeat the formula" and going on to say "everything about Caprica was designed specifically to not repeat what we had done in Galactica."

The pilot premiered last night on SKY1 and although it took some time to get going, it gave me more than enough to come back and watch the first season.
 
It's been on for a few weeks here, but I missed the last season of BSG so I've cut myself off from anything BSG until I get caught up. I know it's a prequel, but it's low on my list of TV to watch.
 
Must admit, I knew nothing about it until my Dad told me yesterday.

So agreed, the marketing has been very poor, mainly due to 24/lost. If you're expecting the action of BSG then you'll be very disappointed. It's very story/character driven so far with the emphasis on explaining how the cylons were first created.

I was pleasantly surprised, its something refreshing and new. Nothing like Star Trek/Stargate and all the other sci-fi tv out there. I'll stick with it and watch the 1st season then make my judgement.

TBH i liked the interactions and storylines in BSG more than the action - that only made it better imo
