yes syfy has mostly crap but every now and then they manage to make something significant (and then they promptly shit the bed)

take galactica, which started great then spent a year in some mud camp in tents and ends in what the fuck, religion, ugh

but the original miniseries was good eh? i tried to rewatch the other day but it was ruined by memory: "hey, thats a cylon, that's a cylon, thst one is also a cylon, so many cylons, hey thats and angel wtf fuck off lol," there is no suspense or meaning once the trick is revealed

but when it first came out it became a bit of a cultural phenomenon

 

and then it just... whatever. from battlestar to bs

my syfy guilty pleasure (not guilt really, just an expression) was the cheap-ass made defiance some years ago. if you accept you're entering a cheaply built set with a budget cast you can still enjoy things. in particular, those white skinned aliens where hilarious, the main married couple... had a highly entertaining interaction while the show lasted. other shit was corny but whatever

hey, i'll take the laughs where i can find them... important stuff for me, daily laughs. it's like vitamin c, supporting my immunity

so tldr yeah check resident alien season 1 good times
