V

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.

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

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.

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.

I am not one to go for sci fi shows but this one grabbed my attention. When I watched the first episode I was impressed and intrigued. There were bits of it that I found were a bit odd but all in all it is a pretty good show. When I heard the line "Why should we trust them" I thought if we ever do get Vistors we should think, Why should they trust us? Well later on in this show we find out why they would trust us..its not a happy reason lol. The acting was pretty good, in my opinion Morena Baccarin as the role of the Visitors leader Anna and Elizabeth Mitchell who does the role of Erica Evans both delivered a really good performance and I hope to see more of them. This show isn't as unrealistic as some may think as we may get visitors in our future, and watching this show could be a step by step guide on how to handle them lol. I recommend you watch this show if you enjoy some sci fi action but I also recommend you keep an opened mind as some of it as I said is a bit far-fetched...but it is a enjoyable program.

One thing that I look for in a show is intrigue to watch more episodes, I can say I will be watching next weeks episode!
