Phelim O'Neill Guardian 05/17/2011
Caprica took to worldbuilding with great gusto, filling each episode with obscure cultural and religious references that mixed, matched and expanded on elements from the real world. Go to Full Review Emily Nussbaum New York Magazine/Vulture 03/21/2010
Who knows how I'll feel about it by season three, but right now, I'm entranced. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly 02/17/2010

Caprica may have been one of the best pilots I've seen since the "Battlestar Galactica" miniseries... Go to Full Review Annalee Newitz io9.com 04/11/2018
Caprica may be starting off a little unevenly, but it's packed with such a wealth of great ideas that you won't want to miss a single episode. Go to Full Review Dan Owen What Culture 10/08/2010
1.5/4
We need a significant change; a twist to make this story feel necessary and gripping, because at the moment there are independently compelling ideas and a remarkable universe to play around in, but not much holding the seams together. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Frans B @FransB Apr 12 Brilliant. Very well and intricately written. Succeeds in the world building scheme of things. Whole cast very convincing in character. Amazing cinematography and visually stunning. A very good idea brought to screen with gusto and swagger, gritty and powerful. Lots of action, drama, dilemma, suspense, emotion, some weirdness (naturally), intrigue and lots of twists. Interesting and entertaining See more Charles Y @Riki123 Mar 18 UK here. I find it deeply offensive that there was a corporate decision that "fuck" had to be bowdlerised into "frack". There were many other epithets in the script that survived, but thank Dog the C word wasn't in there. This is not only offensive to intelligent adults, it is also lazy. The word could easily have been edited out at script level. Besides that, the whole piece is only interesting in the Chloe/robot parts. It is otherwise over-padded with crap to get to 15 mediocre episodes. Could have been fucking good. It isn't. See more Georgan G @RT98616417 01/02/2025 What started out being interesting, took way too long to say not much. Might have been a good movie, but not enough there for an entire season. See more Fred N @fneylan 06/30/2023 Too many plots jumbled together. The overall premise of a brilliant petulant teenager being the origin of sentient robots and the subsequent galactic wars is silly. Interesting take and visuals for VR world. Lots of gratuitous smoking. A waste of great acting talent. OK for Battlestar Galactica completionists, but otherwise superfluous. See more Toms c @tomscove 06/11/2023 So under rated. This felt like the beginning of something special. See more Jeremy P @RT42954447 12/27/2022 This show was so well-done and enjoyable. It's a shame they had to cut it short. See more Read all reviews
