It is survival science fiction, in the model of Battlestar Galactica (reboot), except without bad guys to fight (so far). Plots revolve around location resources, dealing with politics and tension within the group, and saving themselves from the messes they put themselves in. The tone is muted, with little or no gunfire, and I think character studies are the point of the show. The scifi is good, too, and a lot more sophisticated than the usual SG-1 action adventure.
I watched it all on Hulu, and unfortunately, only the last five episodes of the first season (10 episodes long) are still posted. I don't think spoilers will impact your appreciation of the show, but if you want a taste, start with episode 8, Time. Knocked my socks off.
