    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Possible Spoilers!! So, the original, way back when, was really exciting. It stinks by today's standards. However, I had hoped the new series would have provided the same cool sci-fi effect on me but I find I am waiting....wait for it.....wait for it.....and nothing happens. The acting is good, but the scripts are not. Whenever there is a plot twist, it is ho-hum. Who cares if the baby is suddenly growing up. Big deal there are bug like creatures in the pills. So what if Diana (her character is the only one whose name I can remember) may finally be able to communicate with the outside world. The only character I can say I really liked was the husband. Oh well. For young adults those kids are BORES!!â… Expand

    As a fan of the previous incarnation of V, I was wishful thinking that this one would be better, more up to date and deeper. I was left holding my hat in my hand - there is nothing redeeming about this show at all.
    It is a ploddingly slow, wistful, and bleak show with little to offer the standard viewer. Too much in the way of science, with little int he way of flesh.

    I have tried and tried to stay up with it, but, even with a DVR, I now just erase them without attempting to watch them.
    The writing staff really fell short on this remake.    … Expand

    I saw one preview prior to watching the last episode. I have been looking for another interesting series outside the normal Criminal Minds, CSI and Law & Order: SVU. I have given a couple a chance but have moved on after the first 45 minutes. V was different. I wasn't sure what to suspect. A little too much time with the main female Visitor villain however it held my attention enough thatI saw one preview prior to watching the last episode.

    The pace of the show is so slow, it's like watching grass grow. Maybe it's me but wen I think off an alien invasion, a species with clearly more power then the peasants on the planet itself... I expect something like Independence day... You want the woman to breed you alien children... why talk to the peasants? Just kill all the men on the planet and rape all the woman.

    V may be giving us more aliens, but I'm still looking for the people.

    There's no surprise to this, just a sense of resignation that such a hokey climax is the way these shows are supposed to work. Which doesn't make V a terrible show, just a terribly ordinary one.

    V needs to either camp it up completely or go in the other direction and model itself after propulsive dramas such as '24.' The show's attempts meld those two very different tones together just makes for an awkward mismatch.
