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.

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.

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 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!

7/10

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.
