Caprica

Prequel to "Battlestar Galactica" takes place 50 years before the series is set and follows the earlier evolution of the Cylon species. When the colonies were at peace, a breakthrough in robotics and artificial intelligence begets the first Cylon. Told from the perspective of two families, the Graystones and the more familiar Adamas, sci fi drama explores themes of corporate control, politics and the impact of technology.
