23 Years Later, the Most Addictive Sci-Fi Show Ever Made Officially Blasts Onto Free Streaming

Ronald D. Moore’s Battlestar Galactica, the beloved sci-fi series that aired for four seasons from 2004 to 2009, is now available on free streaming platforms. The show has become legendary for its addictiveness—so much so that it inspired a Portlandia sketch depicting the show as so compelling that viewers cannot stop watching, with “just one episode” turning into an all-consuming binge that derails their plans entirely. The sketch, which aired in 2012 when binge-watching was still a novel concept, perfectly captured the show’s reputation for being impossible to put down. The release marks a significant milestone for the series, making the acclaimed science fiction drama accessible to new audiences and longtime fans alike on ad-supported platforms.
