Yeah. Both can be watched separately, but if you want to watch both, it’s nice to do it in chronological order where episodes of the two series are mixed together, as you get some references to the events in the other series.

My friend insists Battlestar Galactica has a crazy order. His partner wants to watch it and he got irrationally angry (at the show, not at her).

I guess she watches it without him now. He refuses to even discuss it. I like to poke at him about it occasionally.
