I liked Caprica but it had the horrible flaw of stretching the miscommunication trope into an entire season.
A miscommunication trope is where the conflict comes from two characters not communicating or miscommunicating. This is the basis of most 20 minute sitcoms like Friends. In Caprica the miscommunication trope was that the Cyclon daughter wouldn’t talk to her father.
Stretching miscommunication conflict for 20 minutes can be cringy. Stretching the trope into an entire series was ridiculous.
Basically my same issue with Battlestar Galactica. Hot take: I actually preferred Caprica.
