Watching order
Because there are some issues with watching this, here is the order.

It's probably more confusing here on trakt, so go to the above linked site for a better layout.

Razor (101 minute extended version - not the 81 minute broadcast version)
Important note: This was originally broadcast just before Season 4, but chronologically it fits here, telling more of the Pegasus's story. Some people argue it's better to watch after Season 3, as originally broadcast, but it makes most sense to watch it here.
The reason that the placement of Razor is a hotly contested issue among BSG fans is because of a bit of dialogue at the very end (in the last 10 minutes) which sets the tone for Season 4 (barely even a spoiler). Everything else in this TV movie is not a spoiler.
So why place it here, and not where it was originally broadcast, if there's any sort of issue? Because, chronologically, the story is set here, and by the time you reach the end of Season 3, the story of Pegasus will feel like ancient history. Indeed, that was the complaint echoed around the internet from fans after Razor originally aired -- it had nothing to do with what was going on in the story at that time.
As a result of this, most fans agree it's better to watch Razor here. In doing so, you'll appreciate the story more and it will have greater emotionally resonance. In short: I highly recommend that you follow my advice and watch it here.
There is one small caveat, however: In order to deal with the above dialogue issue, and so not to unintentionally alter the tone of Season 3, I have two, very specific instructions that I recommend that you follow for your absolute optimum enjoyment.
I will try not to spoil anything with these instructions, so pay attention. You need to press MUTE on your TV (and/or turn off any subtitles) in the following two moments. Both of these moments occur in the last 10 minutes of the story, so you can relax and enjoy the first 90 mins before you need to worry.
Press MUTE when:
and shortly afterwards:
That's it! That's all you have to worry about. Two very small moments, and even if you don't unmute it, it's not a huge spoiler, it just unintentionally alters the tone of Season 3 if you don't, so do try your best to follow my instructions.

4.12 A Disquiet Follows My Soul (53 minute extended version - only on Bluray releases)
4.13 The Oath
4.14 Blood on the Scales
4.15 No Exit
The Plan (DVD/Bluray movie)
A stand-alone movie that shows (approximately) the first two seasons from the Cylons' perspective. (You finally get to see "The Plan", mentioned all those times in the opening sequence!) Although The Plan was originally released after the show had finished, it is generally agreed that it should be watched here, so that everything is all tied up when you do reach the end.
4.16 Deadlock
4.17 Someone to Watch Over Me
4.18 Islanded In a Stream of Stars (62 minute extended version - only on BluRay releases and Region 1 DVDs)
4.19 Daybreak (150 minute extended version - only on BluRay releases and Region 1 DVDs)
The Plan : This is where this DVD/Bluray movie was originally released (after the show had finished). It seems universally agreed that it's preferable to watch this after No Exit, instead of after you've finished the entire series, but there's no harm in waiting until now.
Then Caprica the series: http://trakt.tv/show/caprica
Growing up, Paris was a favourite of mine. I enjoyed his youth, boyish charm and natural cheek. Now as a woman, I find myself quite taken with Chakotay. Rewatching Voyager feels like home. Love it.
Nothing less than a decade-defining show! There's no doubt this is the absolute best crime drama ever made considering it's the one that started it all, setting the standard for everything that came after. I loved CSI for so many reasons but mainly because of how intense the cases always got, how gripping every episode was, and most of all how much the city itself made a huge impact on the different stories as if Las Vegas were part of the cast ... that's something amazing I haven't yet managed to find anywhere else in the genre. Needless to say, I binged my way through the seasons! I have to say I hated them for killing off Warrick, him being my favourite and all, but at least we got to see Greg up till the end #hilarious
Great show with adorable stop-motion animation and vibrant colors!
I know just how labor-intensive the stop-motion medium is, so I understand we couldn’t get a full season of 8-12 half hour episodes but nevertheless I was so ready to keep going once this show ended. Hopefully enough people watch this so they can greenlight a longer second season.
As of now, the show comes off as a cute series of vignettes with nice anti-corporate messaging about finding purpose in friends and the outside world instead of getting bogged down by the digital world/capitalism.
I’d recommend this to anyone who loves Pokemon, stop-motion animation, or just an easy relaxing watch. Definitely showing this to my future kids!
Even after 14 years and about 300 episodes I'm still loving this show.
Ted Lasso is feel-good TV perhaps at its absolute best. It gives us a titular character who is so off-putting to everyone just from his relentless positivity, spirit, and heart at the beginning, but slowly is able to win over every single person around him and inspire all those around him to strive to be the best versions of themselves through the same resilient positive spirit achieved by leniency on others. The writing throughout this entire show has just been top notch, with characters that are fully understood and character arcs that are incredibly satisfying. By season 2 Ted is even given much more depth and we see the struggling parts of him, fully fleshing out his character as someone we can both related to and aspire to be. The comedy is also seriously fantastic right from the beginning. Jason Sudeikis is just so hilarious and in a world full of darkly comedic shows these days, Ted Lasso is a breath of fresh air that proves feel-good comedy can be just as good if not better as long as it's done right. The first season was a certified knockout and probably one of my favorite seasons of TV ever, and while the second two didn't quite live up to that, they stood out in their own ways and ultimately the show ended on a perfectly bittersweet note that exemplified the central themes of the show in the best way. If you want genuine laughs, emotion, and incredibly lovable characters with stellar writing (which why wouldn't you), then this show is for you.
9.3 // Excellent
Just finished season 1 and I honestly never thought I would see a sitcom like this come into existence.
Sudekis has done a great job blending the optimistic sitcom stylings of the US with the more down to earth and cynical take you often get from british sitcoms. It is somehow both wholesome, uplifting and at the same time tackles some tough issues and weighty subject matter. The title character played by Sudekis is charming and likable but also vulnerable and flawed and a fascinating character to watch as the first season unfolds. Possibly Sudekis' best work to date.
Looking forward to season 2!
Well, well, well ... Who would have thought that a sports comedy takes folksiness to a new level of sophistication by sharp writing and some self-awareness (as overused as the fish-out-of-water set-up may be, it's incredibly funny). With each and every Episode I grew more and more fond of this Series. Ted wins you over just like he does everyone else. Sure, there are a series of predictably base clashes of culture and stereotypes, but as the show progresses, the writers settle into a rhythm that lets the humor feel less forced, making it easier to concentrate on all of the show's other pleasures. The character is practically impossible not to like, and in a time of so much anxiety and frustration, it’s refreshing to spend time with someone like Ted.
This was the best 'feel good watch' I had in a long time. Yes I like soccer, but this show gave me so much more than a story about sport. It's funny, emotional and just hits you in the feels. Loved it!
Excellent comedy, well written characters that are developed well, authentic, complex, and deep, incredible actors, and a plot that's simple but compelling. This was just a joy to watch and so moving. It made me laugh a ton and it made me cry too. I loved it very much and it quickly became a favorite.
I put off watching this show for so incredibly long because the trailer did not translate well and I have absolutely no interest in soccer or sports in general. I finally buckled in and gave it a chance and let me tell you, I was absolutely hooked after the first episode. Everything I initially thought about the series was thrown out the window and I was completely enamored by Ted, the players and the feel good positivity embedded in each episode.
This show is not groundbreaking, but it is something that instantly put me in a good mood when watching and I was gutted when certain events played out due to how invested I was. If you’re not sure if you should give Ted Lasso a chance because it does not resonate with you, I absolutely implore you to put that notion aside and give it a fair chance. You absolutely won’t regret it!
