The pilot of the new SyFy Network series, Defiance

We just finished watching it and liked it. The executive producer was involved in the remake of Battlestar Galactica, the mayor played Darla on Buffy/Angel (though I think she's more like Anya), and it has pretty high production values. They've definitely put a lot of resource behind it and it looks good, sort of a combination of Babylon 5 and Firefly in a way, with some vibes of Alien Nation. And if they maintain the plot ethos from BG, it should be plenty twisty.

The two-hour pilot will be aired 30-40 times over the next couple of days, so shouldn't be difficult to catch if you missed it.
