Overview

Set 58 years before Battlestar Galactica, Caprica follows two rival families - the Graystones and the Adamas - as they grow, compete, and thrive in the vibrant world of the peaceful 12 Colonies, living in a society close to our own. Entangled in the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence and robotics that will eventually lead to the creation of the Cylons, the two houses go toe-to-toe, blending action with corporate conspiracy and sexual politics.

Daniel Graystone, a computer genius, is owner of a large computer corporation that is spearheading the development of artificial intelligence. He and his wife Amanda, who's a brilliant surgeon, are both relentless in their scientific pursuits. The Adama clan is helmed by Joseph Adama, a renowned criminal defense attorney and father of future Battlestar commander William Adama. When tragedy strikes both families, lines are drawn that will determine the fate of the human race.

Prequels always have to balance respect for the original with trying to tell their own story. But sometimes, they do it so well that they expand the original world, strengthen the characters, and reignite interest in the franchise. These seven series prove that prequels can be more than just additions, they can be full-fledged hits.

@Рамзесочка: you need to look with your eyes closed and your ears pinched so that you don't imagine any reason. Many of the dialogues in the series are at the level of a soap opera, and the elementary holes in the plot and inconsistencies are through the roof. The plot itself revolves around teenagers who are as cool as Yo Asakura, and if it looks normal in an anime, then in an art series it is definitely ridiculous and not realistic even for the genre of fiction, unless of course it is youth bullshit, which would be catastrophically stupid to shoot in the BSG universe.
Of course, it was very interesting to find out how the Cylons were created and where they got their "True God" from, but the answers to these questions take up a small part of the series' time. Most of the time, uninteresting nonsense happens, and everything that could be attributed to important plot details would fit into 6 episodes, if not less. Maybe then the series would have shot, but we have what we have.

It is rare to find such a prequel that, existing in the universe of the original source, manages to explain the prerequisites and at the same time preserve its individuality.

A huge robot is roaming around the apartment, broke the bed, and no one noticed it, neither humans, nor the robot butler, nor the security systems of the laboratory and the house, which apparently simply do not exist, not to mention Lacey, who got into the house without understanding how.
A stupid mother who slandered her own daughter without giving herself, her husband, or the services time to figure it out.
The series is interesting, but the second episode is already a crutch on a crutch.

The beginning and finale of the season and the entire series are good, but in the middle it sagged a lot, so the drop in ratings and, as a result, the closure is quite natural. It would be better to make the season shorter, but less amorphous. However, the main thing that the series was filmed for in general was shown.
The only thing is, how did that vile Clarissa get out, why wasn't she exposed?
And finally it became clear with William, otherwise I thought from the very beginning that he would have been too old by the time of the events of the CCG.

The plot has been swinging for a very long time, but in the last 15 minutes many points have been succinctly explained. So the aftertaste is still good.
