I loved the original 1983 series- Who can forget John, Diana, and the others, Marc Singer and Robert Ironside. But what they have done here is come up with a load of disjointed schlock. Its hurried, and out of sync, the characters are forgettable, with no time taken to develop things. TV land has become truly desperate. Morrena Baccarrin starts out OK, as the lovely but smarmy and transparent Anna, but after the first few scenes slides into hilarity. What a shame, and a betrayal of one of the best cult sci-fi series ever made. The concept of V itself has also been savaged. It was the signature of the resistors, not the logo of the Visitors. Get a Robert Ironside in there soon , a guy who wants to turn the visiting lizards into "pairs of shoes". Fortuneatly for us, this rubbish will likely not get past the first four episodes. Don't waste your time.
