I saw the original V(isitors) series (created in 1984) when I was just a kid. I was thrilled and excited! Last autumn I saw the first V remake episode, that is V 2009. In short, I was thrilled and excited. The new show holds basically the same elements as the original one did. It's a simple story of good vs evil, the good being humans and the bad being aliens.
Not the most original sci fi you can get, but in a world with not enough sci fi, I'll take it!
