Query: Compelling series for more serious viewers

I only vaguely remember watching a couple of episodes of the original Battlestar Galactica. I guess I wasn't impressed.The current series is excellent. The characters are all complex rather than the typical one dimensional sci fi characters. Mary McDonnell as the president is especially compelling. I can see how someone looking for a fast-paced special effects filled, sci fi show with a thin plot would not like this series. This is definitely a more adult science fiction series. Each episode is essentially self contained, but the ongoing search for earth drives the larger story. I highly recommend Battlestar Gallactica.
