(We got to see it first because SKY is putting in $400,000 per episode without which the show, which costs $1,800,000/ep wouldn't have been made at all.)
I think it's very good, and gets even better in the later episodes.

" The two-hour Jan. 14 premiere of SCI FI Channel's original series Battlestar Galactica was the number-one cable program on that date in key demographics and ranked as the highest-rated January show in the network's history. Galactica ranked first among adults aged 25-54 and 18-49 and men aged 25-54, 18-49 and 18-34. The show earned a 2.6 household rating (3.1 million viewers), ranking second among all cable programs.
Galactica was also SCI FI's highest-rated first-quarter series telecast ever and its second highest-rated series telecast ever, behind only Stargate Atlantis' series premiere in summer 2004.
Galactica delivered 2.2 million viewers aged 25-54 and 1.9 million among those aged 18-49. The show won a decisive victory over UPN's Star Trek: Enterprise, outperforming its new episode in total viewers, among adults 25-54 (2.2 million vs. 1.7 million) and 18-49 (1.9 million vs. 1.5 million). Among men 25-54, Galactica delivered 1.5 million viewers, beating 16 of the top 20 programs on the six broadcast networks, including CSI: Miami, JAG and Fox's premiere of Jonny Zero. "
So it looks like a very good chance of renewal for this one.
In other TV news, Marti Noxon's new series 'Point Pleasant' starts with two consecutive nights in a pair of hourlong episodes (8 p.m. Wednesday (tonight) and Thursday (tomorrow), on FOX) and is then on Thursdays thereafter.
Marti Noxon worked on Buffy and Angel and this new series is worth checking out.
