Yeah that show is a slow burner vibe thing and i think you were right to stop watching it because you gotta meet it where it’s at - messy, creative, emblematic of the paperback sci-fi classics, not quite so neat as something like Expanse or Star Trek in terms of structure and plot and character taking a backseat to the themes, it’s less Stellaris, more Solaris, less Mass Effect and more No Man’s Sky.
This show to the original BSG is like Primer to Back to the Future.
What helped me through is I just enjoy military dramas so the standalone episodes like the one about the industrial workers and such just kept me engaged in the moment as episodic adventures and so I was in no hurry for a thread to follow, though the arc in S2 and onto the climax in Season 4.
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I do find this show beautiful in a way,

Speaking of highly overrated things…
