Yeah, I can see that comparison, actually. And Anna Torv does have a pretty fantastic voice.
It's interesting that you glom onto parenthood and caretaking as a central theme translated from TSCC whereas for me it was the hope of a complex, non-binary discussion on technology and our relationship to it, though again, that issue, while obviously important to the larger plot arcs is not as explicitly discussed as it was on TSCC (or BSG).
I would say, though, on the parenthood and caretaking front, that I really enjoy Olivia's relationship with her sister and niece, even though there's not much of it (apparently they're having trouble getting the actress who plays her sister consistently due to other filming commitments). I love unconventional family setups (another transference from both TSCC and BSG), and I also enjoy how Olivia falls into the pattern of, basically, the Working Man of the House, except, you know, not at all. a
