My Review of the new V Series on ABC
The show V finally got around to starting very late in the fall season, but it is worth the wait. I’m sure this shows my age, but I actually remember watching the original mini-series back in 1983. I was in sixth grade at the time, and back then, no one had ever attempted a science-fiction mini-series like it.
The premise was an alien invasion, which has been done to death, even by the 1980s. V took an interesting twist on it, because the aliens didn’t just show up in their big motherships and tiny shuttles and proceed to eradicate humanity. No, the aliens on V decided on a different approach: pretend to be humanity’s friend, and then stab them in the back.
