Shows that feel likeBattlestar Galactica (2003)
If you loved Battlestar Galactica, the closest series we have are The Odyssey (1997), A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026) and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008). All three share Battlestar Galactica's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Quantum Leap (1989).
If Battlestar Galactica hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: miniseries

Common ground: cautionary
The difference: 23 years apart, and the 2020s show

Both land momentum and scale at once

Contemplative and cerebral in the same breath

Both are built on the same subject: quest
The difference: Trades the stillness of Battlestar Galactica for an angle of its own

Both lean on dream logic more than on action & adventure

The same preoccupation in both: quest
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Battlestar Galactica does

Drama built on momentum, twice over

Epic sci-fi & fantasy in both cases

Contemplative action & adventure, and it commits to that

Ronald D. Moore directing both, with the same fingerprints on each

Drama with a pulse of ideas, in both cases
In the mood for more kinetic?
