V (2009)
As a teenager I was a HUGE fan of the original V Series. I watched it often, and it really formed my love of Science Fiction.
I just finished watching the first episode of the new V series.
I liked it a lot, with some things I was disappointed in.
I will avoid spoilers.
I liked most of the acting, and really enjoyed seeing some faces from other shows I have liked.
I felt that the introduction was handled a lot better in the original, with the worldwide panic followed by the meeting of the General Secretary of the UN on the roof of the UN building. The first contact in the new series seemed weak, and to special effect for my liking.
The design of the new craft is awesome.
All in all I think they tried to get too much plot development into the first episode, and I would have enjoyed the slow reveal rather than the way it was handled; that said, I think that the changes to the story that are already in place will give a lot more suspense to the show.
I hope to see it here for the long haul.
