About
Quick guide
A tense, character‑driven drama set in the 12 Colonies 58 years before *Battlestar Galactica*.
Caprica follows two rival families – the affluent Graystones, led by tech visionary Daniel, and the law‑practicing Adamas, headed by Joseph – as personal grief, corporate ambition and religious extremism collide. The series explores the early development of artificial intelligence and the creation of the Cylons, blending corporate intrigue, family dynamics, and the moral questions surrounding resurrecting the dead. It balances personal stories with a larger backdrop of political conspiracies and the looming threat of terrorism, all set against a world that mirrors our own yet teeters on the edge of a new technological era. While the narrative is grounded in human emotion, the show also presents a speculative glimpse of the future of robotics, AI, and their societal impact.

Watch if
If you enjoy character‑heavy sci‑fi that tackles ethical questions about technology, corporate power, and the cost of revenge, Caprica offers a layered narrative with richly drawn families and a foreboding glimpse of the future of AI.
Skip if
If you prefer light, action‑oriented sci‑fi with clear victories and minimal philosophical debate, Caprica’s slower pacing and complex moral questions might feel slow or heavy.

Premise & Setting
Set in 23rd‑century Caprica, the planet is the cultural and political hub of the Twelve Colonies. The story focuses on the Graystone and Adama families, whose intertwined destinies spark corporate battles, religious fervor, and a desperate quest to resurrect lost loved ones.
Main Families
Daniel Graystone, a wealthy tech mogul, and Joseph Adama, a seasoned lawyer, both lose daughters in a bombing, driving them toward controversial experiments. Their children—Zoe, Tamara, and others—navigate loyalty, rebellion, and the shadow of an emerging cult.
Cylons & Technology
The series introduces the first prototype Cylon, a machine designed to emulate a human daughter. The project blurs the line between creation and manipulation, raising questions about responsibility, sentience, and the dangers of unchecked innovation.
Religious and Political Conflict
A militant group called the Soldiers of the One threatens the colony’s stability, while corporate and political actors vie for power. The tension between faith, law, and corporate interests fuels much of the series’ drama.
Virtual Reality & the V‑World
A virtual club called the V‑World serves as a social hub for teenagers and a testing ground for digital avatars, providing a backdrop for exploring identity and escapism in a cyber‑influenced society.
Conclusion & Legacy
Although the series was cancelled after one season, the narrative threads hint at future developments that would eventually intersect with the later *Battlestar Galactica* timeline, laying groundwork for the Cylon wars.
