    Although the show has a few faults (discussed below), it is one of the few intelligent shows on tv (and the only one on ABC). Unlike Detroit 1-8-7 and the other mindless drabble on tv today, V has a plot that actually requires viewers to think. I realize many out there consider this to be too difficult, but for those people who feel the need for a little brain stimulation, V isAlthough the show has a few faults (discussed below), it is one of the few intelligent shows on tv (and the only one on ABC). Unlike Detroit 1-8-7 and the other mindless drabble on tv today, V has a plot that actually requires viewers to think. I realize many out there consider this to be too difficult, but for those people who feel the need for a little brain stimulation, V is excellent! There are many intellectual levels to this show and it's one of those shows I think and talk about for hours after I watched the latest episode. The reason for me that it's a 9 and not a 10 is that the plot can be a bit choppy. I don't like that there's a new plot against the Vs every week...I'd like to see a little more build-up over time. Also, I think the writers have missed some great opportunities for some really good storylines (which is understandable, given that ABC cut their episodes down to 10 this season). If ABC does not renew for one more FULL season (I'm talking a 16 or more episode season), I don't think they'll be able to neatly wrap up the story and it will absolutely be the end of ABC for me.… Expand

    Awesome show! As a fan of the original mini-series, its great to see a modernized version of it, using modernized day technology and themes, such as post 9/11 circumstances and the persuasive use of the media. The show has great story lines, and effects as well as a great cast.

    V Season 2 is a huge step up from the back half of season 1s episodes! I just got through watching the season 2 finale and let me tell you, if this show is not picked up for a 3d season there will be hell-to-pay ABC!!!!!

    all i can really say is its awesome. bit slower then the old series, i think the writers need to rethink with the long drawn out stories abit, and be abit like the old classic ones, alot more fighting scene's with laser guns would be good to start with, but over all i think its alot better then the long drawn out battlestar galactica the new series,

    This show is a beast. I get a heart attack every time I watch it. I'm always at the edge of my seat wondering whats gonna happen next. The is great at shooting close-ups. V stars Morena Baccarin, Lourdes Benedicto, Morris Chestnut, Joel Gretsch, Logan Huffman, Charles Mesure, Elizabeth Mitchell, Laura Vandervoort and Scott Wolf, and is executive produced by Scott Rosenbaum, Yves Simoneau,This show is a beast.

    First of all this is a sci-fi series so please don't rate if you don't like the genre.
    Then I have to say that I enjoyed it a lot and I've found the finale surprising. The peace is fast and the scale global. They use the special fx enough. The plot is very good with many twists and the characters are kind of logic in their reactions. A recommended series for the lovers of sci-fi.

    When I saw the first episode on TV I thought it was a movie. It's a great series (of the best and seen). Too bad they canceled the third season.

    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.
