NuBSG.

It probably doesn't help that i'm not American, and that I didn't come to it until much later in the decade from when it originally aired, but I found the early, clearly 9/11 hysteria inspired, stuff tiresome and drama-less, and the later stuff (which is when I presume the 9/11 hysteria had worn thin) to be just bad science fiction. Yeah, it was a different flavor of bad SF than usual, but still bad SF.

NuBSG seems to be a very clear warning to wannabe showrunners that it isn't enough to just avert the usual television Science Fiction tropes, you have to put something else in there instead. Yeah, I'm sure the command point of a starship doesn't need a window nor be called a bridge, but just not putting that stuff in should not be enough to get the kind of overhyped plaudits that NuBSG did. As for a universe with no aliens in it? Meh, Red Dwarf has always done that better too.

Then there is the overuse of shaky cam and the dramatic shaky zooming in on faces just before something dramatic happens, and the "slow burn" which means you can watch the first five minutes and closing five minutes of each show and get the entire story for the episode and season because the remainder is just shots of people muttering and wandering around hallways to pad it out until the cliffhanger. Never have I seen such a dull show.
