“ As post-9/11 global relations have reflected too well, in a chaotic world of shifting alliances and conflicting belief systems, remaining firm in your conviction that you’re on the side of the righteous can be the greatest challenge of all. But who would’ve thought that a TV remake of a goofy ’70s space thriller could bring these fundamental geopolitical tensions to life so palpably?
