Battlestar Galactica. It is a reimagining of an old 70s show. It follows a ragtag fleet that are the only survivors of a Cylon (robots created by men, some of whom can look human) destruction of their civilization. They are trying to find earth (the mythical lost colony) and are chased by Cylons the whole way.
The main characters are Commander Adama (older guy in pic) who was on the verge of retiring. His Battlestar is the only one that survived. Pres. Roslin, who was education secretary but now as the highest ranking surviving official is the President. She is also dying from cancer. Lee "Apollo" Adama (the younger guy in the pic), who is a Captain and Adama's son. He is also the CAG (pilot leader). He is my favorite character. His relationship with his father is...interesting. There is also Kara "Starbuck" Thrace who is Apollo's best friend. She is a hotshot, brawling, anti-authority chick. There is Boomer, who is a Cylon but does not know it, and Helo who is stuck on the planet destroyed by Cylons. Oh, and there is Baltar, the unhinged genius who is the VP and betrayed the planet to the Cylons who is the only one who can see Six, his Cylon lover.
It's dark, arc-driven and very very good. It has just finished its first season on scifi (scifi has the first ep, "33" to download, or you can rent the mini that was pre-season 1, as it is on dvd). It is scifi's highest rated show and will return for second season on july 15.
I am also a severe Kara/Lee shipper. There's angst (she was his brother's fiance) and they are best friends, and there are oodles of UST.
