Nice idea for a show .. new way to express the aliens or whatever they call them here .. I really Like Elizabeth Mitchell and I like Joel Gretsch as well .. so the cast is great .. Looking forward to season 2 ..
This is a review of two seasons of the re-imagined 1980s mini-series/tv show, V. The basic premise involves aliens coming to Earth under the guise of peace and cooperation but whose ultimate goal is to enslave humanity along with the rebels who are fighting them.
V is a superficial science fiction show - glossy, sometimes entertaining but lacking in substance. It's such a shame as t... read more
Description:At all corners of the Earth humans awaken to the sight of spaceships hovering over every major world city. As ominous as this sounds, we have to admit, it sure beats coffee as the go-to morning pick-me-up.
Jokes aside, the ships’ occupants, known only as “The Visitors,” spread their message quickly and clearly: They have comeAt all corners of the Earth humans awaken to the sight of spaceships hovering over every major world city. As ominous as this sounds, we have to admit, it sure beats coffee as the go-to morning pick-me-up.
Jokes aside, the ships’ occupants, known only as “The Visitors,” spread their message quickly and clearly: They have come in peace, bearing gifts of medical miracles and technological breakthroughs far beyond earthlings’ wildest imaginations.
Many of the world’s citizens have been enamored by the aliens and their generous offers, believing every word The Visitors utter. But while on assignment, Homeland Security agent Erica Evans discovers their intentions are anything but altruistic: The Visitors’ claims of peace, generosity and doing no harm are… (pregnant pause)… LIES! They choose to attack by means of guile instead of warfare, infiltrating our governments and businesses in an attempt to subjugate and dominate mankind. Yet even with that knowledge, how can Erica convince others of the truth when The Visitors wield two subtle but formidable weapons from their vast arsenal?
First, with amazing gifts and persistent claims of harmony that The Visitors have demonstrated, many would laugh in Erica’s face or worse. Second, The Visitors have the world’s youth on their side, recruiting many—including Erica’s son Tyler— as 'Peace Ambassadors’. But in actuality these captivated youngsters are actually serving The Visitors as unsuspecting spies. With little options on preventing this invasion, Erica becomes part of a growing resistance of people who have seen through The Visitor’s lies like her. But will she be able to help thwart this invasion as well as keep her son safe?
In this daring re-imagining of the ‘80s sci-fi classic, humanity takes on a greater threat than any it has ever faced before.
The series is produced by The Scott Peters Company and HD Films in association with Warner Bros. Television. Scott Peters is executive producer/writer and Jeffrey Bell, Steve Pearlman and Jace Hall are executive producers.... (more)(less)
"V lured me in. First episode had Alan Tudyk. The show has Morena Buccarin.
Alan's character died first episode. FAIL. Best actor on the whole show and his character dies right away. FAIL.
Then...we get this bitch:
I HATE HER IHATEHERIHATEHER.
She is the worst actress in all of creation. The sight of her incites my gag reflex to trigger. Ugh. Stop putting her in things, she ruins them."
"I thought the plot started out great, but kinda lost itself within the show. It was like they had so many things they could explore, but ended up exploring it all all at once and then had nothing else to do with it..."

Feelings about the showI don't think that it was the best sci-fi in the world, but it was good. I have mixed feelings about Elizabeth Mitchell. I think that she can sometimes come across as fake, but maybe that is just the coldness of her character coming through. I love Morena Baccarin "
