It's good enough, considering where the show leaves you at the end of S2 when it was cancelled. Some series I say "don't bother, it's too disappointing it won't be finished", but this isn't one of them.

If you get to the middle of the first season and are still watching, it will only get better. If you can't stand to watch that long, you probably wouldn't care that much for the later eps anyway.

yeah,

I think you still remember our BSG disaster. But I bet it was shown on pay-TV earlier.

Yes, that is a common refrain with SF TV.

It requires a lot of disciplined internet browsing for fear of accidentally stumbling across a spoiler.

Been there, done that.

That's also dependent on how much internet browsing you do of sites that might have such spoilers. It's almost never happened to me and I've not really had to work to prevent it.

The new series wasn't as interesting to me because they based it on the original, and so there were plot elements I already knew going into this one that were kind of a surprise in the original, so it just took some of the mystery out of it.

It was pretty well scripted and acted though, with good sfx too.

Seems like they didn't do as good of a job as what Moore and Eick did with BSG where the miniseries had the same basic premise as the original show but then they took it into new territory.
