So after deciding I'd had enough of the "reality TV" garbage on offer I was going through a friends DVD collection to see what he had worth watching and found this Yes OK it wasn't as good as the original but it beat what was on offer otherwise by season 2 I was getting into it and had gotten to ep10 yay cliffhanger just as well I had the DVD's and din't need to wait But NO to surprise that was it WTF where the hell is season 3 completely peeved off now was looking forward to a big battle and humans finally overcoming the V I SO FRICKEN HATE when they can a show and leave us hanging thanks for nothing and F U

What a shame this was cancelled before series 3 as its clear by the end of series 2 that this wasn't finished.

The good - Anna. Wonderful actress. Played the part beautifully and a joy on screen. Her expressions. Her emotion and at times lack of it. Every scene with her is worthwhile.

The story and writing throughout was great even though it was very much American action formulated each episode. Acting throughout was pretty much spot on too.

Cameo from Donavan at the end of the series was great to see. Diana a welcome addition to season two.

The bad - that son, Tyler. Typical annoying American boy teen who makes all the wrong immature choices. Way too cliche. Annoyed me on screen. Maybe that made him a good actor? Was surprised he lasted the entire two series.

The ugly - the special effects at times were bad. What a shame.

Overall worthwhile series but let down by the fact it wasn't finished.

Overall good story, but toward the end it got out of control. There were so many hidden agendas, backstabbing, etc. That got really tiresome. Also they made numerous plot holes that they would patch up by creating another one. Still fun to watch if you can ignore those two things. The actress who played Anna was do good, best part of the show.

I re-watched this 11 years later and compared to 99% of whats made today it is very watchable. It is from the time when story was important, not like today when it is all about not offending someone on twitter.

I was worried that this, as a remake of a cult series, would be either bad or silly, but I really liked the pilot episode, and I'm looking forward to seeing the next one.

It's faster paced than the original "V", but as I found the original sometimes frustratingly slow, I wasn't bothered by this. The aliens are made to seem a lot more human - all except for their leader Anna (played by Morena Baccarin), who made my skin crawl. She has some facial expressions that would make me back up and start looking for something to use as a weapon. She really builds up a certain feeling of paranoia, and a definite feeling of not knowing what she's planning. Both fit this story well, I think.

Thankfully, there's a lot less characters in this version than the old one. I always found them hard to keep track of, and here it seems they've chosen to concentrate on a fewer number of people.

It wouldn't surprise me if I come to like this new version of "V" better than the old one. The old one was very much about people; how they reacted, felt and interacted. The new one seems to be a bit more about the action and thriller elements.

What a shame that this series has been cancelled Such a hanging end They could of at least made a final 3 hour ending episode w closer to the viewers. It's sad that a network can just decide to cancel a show without an ending. I enjoyed the show as much as you can enjoy something that could potentially someday be nonfictional sci-fi lol I looked forward to Seeing the V the actors and actresses couldn't of preformed better The costumes and scenes were amazing The stories and the plot's realistic Why would they remake a series and cancel again I'm not sure I will start a new series from this network.

...and that's saying a lot considering the usual angst-y, inexpensive-to-make-therefore-let's-clone-it-family-drama shows the network seems to keep adding on or re-newing. "V" was exciting right from the start and the second episode was a good follow-up to the premiere, fleshing out the main characters a bit more and what drives them. Elizabeth Mitchell is well cast as straight-shooter, no-BS FBI agent Erica and it's great to see her back on the tube after "Lost". Another great bit of casting is Joel Gretsch as Father Jack, a priest torn between doing what he thinks he's supposed to be doing and what he knows in his heart is actually the right thing to do. Gretsch was great as the power-hungry military man in the sci-fi mini "Taken" so seeing him here playing the clerical good guy with heart shows the man's got talent. Morena Baccarin and Scott Wolf are also excellently cast as Anna the high commander of the Visitors and as Chad, the button-pushing journalist. Though I enjoyed the original series as a kid, this one is a worthy update for the twenty-first century. Some stuff has changed (names of characters; how long they've actually been here before the arrival of the ships, etc.) but the premise is similar enough: aliens arrive on Earth...are they good or bad? It took courage for ABC to air a unique series like this (i.e. "sci-fi") when pretty much all of the other mainstream, non-cable networks are sticking with the usual safe stuff (family dramas, medical dramas, cop dramas, 30 minute sitcoms) so I hope they truly give it a chance to grow and catch on. It's that good.

Before I even read the comments on IMDb my opinion on the first episode was also that the 45 minute pilot episode seemed rushed and compressed with too much happening. It should have definitely been at least a 90 minute intro episode. However, I stuck with it and the story is now starting to take shape. I really do hope they continue for at least a couple of seasons (like the original) otherwise it will be a severe anti climax to the build up currently developing in the story.

The pilot episode was no match to the original but as the plot has begun to develop (in the more modern era) It has become much more entertaining. It seems to be the opposite to the original (which had a great opening mini series which then faded) This new series had, for me, a dire opening episode but is gaining my interest with each new episode.

Having not been familiar with the original "V" the series by creator Kenneth Johnson, and upon first glance at the previews and TV spots, I gotta say that what I just witnessed was the best pilot episode I've ever seen. With it's many parallels to our social climate in the world today, the new series plays on our fears and perceptions of those who are strangers to us who at first are well-meaning and docile but their ulterior motives are hidden underneath. That gives "V" verisimilitude while still retaining a Sci-Fi setting. I was tense and on the edge of my seat throughout the proceedings of what the characters are experiencing as the "visitors" announce their presence to the world. I suppose some will say that the new "V" is not as good as the original, but I for one, enjoy this new version and will be tuning in to see how the events unfold and how profoundly their effects will have on those embroiled in this event that may change the face of mankind forever.

WHERE'S THE SEQUEL?!

It was well rated, so bring it back!

Absolutely NO reason it was cancelled to begin with... or WAS there??.... Whatever the reason was, you had enough people watching it & fans loved it, so bring it back!

I'm trying not to include any spoilers in my review, so I'm just writing enough to make my very short point.

This is very dumb to force people to have to write six hundred characters like you want just for a review, unless you are REALLY trying NOT to have people leave a review. I am not your average critic so this is a bit ridiculous... ugh!

I liked the show, it had excellent ratings & plenty of fans raving about it; it should've never been taken off air.

I'm old enough to remember the original series and had hopes a remake would bring new ideas and fresh approaches to the concept. So far I've found the plot not particularly believable within it's context and I didn't really connect too much with most of the characters.

It seems they have gone for special effects and pretty people rather than characters, concepts like loyalty and statements about totalitarian government which the original series did rather well despite it's flaws.

I still have hopes the series will improve...generally it's getting more watchable compared to the Independence Day style pilot which didn't answer any important questions or build up the pace very well.

Let's see how it progresses - some great TV shows started out poor - this is just average and improving very very slightly.

Just saw the premiere last night and it is pretty good so far. I never saw the first V but plan to watch this one forever long it lasts. I know the first V was a one season wonder but on TV commercials for this new V they say things like "on this season of V..." which would lead one to believe there will be more to come. The premier did start a little fast. It covered a lot of ground in a short hour span of time but not so quickly that you lose focus of things that are going on in the different lives you must follow to comprehend the entire show. Not really a bad think considering I HATE TV shows that drag through the plot and never hit a climax (Flash Forward). The CGI stuff looks pretty good. The acting is sincere and not cheesy. I will definitely keep watching.

Can Hollywood put anything more lame on TV? Have the writers forgotten the art of storytelling and character development? What did the writers think, we'll have a religious priest, an FBI agent, etc etc. The writer's tried to have stereo typical ingredients to make the show good but this was extremely commercial.

With what was shown in the pilot episode, too much was crammed in and now are the episodes going to fall flat after too much was revealed. Here's a hint, story arcs for having a full season and not revealing all at once.

When I saw the commercials for V with the main V character, it looks like a Shoppers Drugmart commercial. The inside of the mother ship looked like a shopping mall and part of it looked like Sydney, Austrailia. When some of the characters were transported and before they were strapped in, that looks like something that would be used at a ride at an amusement park. When the characters were in the mother ship and excited over the floating apples, maybe the director and writers should have had something exciting. With science fiction, something impressive should have been done.

Here's a hint for the people who made V, the audience is intelligent, don't insult the viewer's intelligence. Instead of relying on the name V, more should have been put in to make the show a success, not just the name V and special effects.
