The alien-invasion reboot feels sharper and more focused. But the writers do seem obsessed with keeping the humans and Visitors on nearequal footing. Read full review

It's hard to muster up a sense of urgency about V. Mainly, I admire all the pretty people as I wait for the stunning bursts of violence. Read full review

Not every TV show has to leave you wishing for a Ph.D. in physics and total recall of Philosophy 101, and V, which seems to have embraced the cheesy goodness of the original, strikes me as a bit more fun this season. Read full review

The show has been notoriously slow in setting up the plot everyone knows already. While the pokey details have included the protracted not-quite-romance between Erica and Father Jack (Joel Gretsch) and the precise loyalties of black-ops and terrorism expert Hobbes (Charles Mesure), the new year brings at least a veneer of urgency.

While the show is interesting and well-acted, ultimately, it lacks shock and awe. Read full review

V may be giving us more aliens, but I'm still looking for the people. Read full review

The groan-worthy dialogue, usually spoken in a monotone by alien and human alike, is rarely credible and lacks the kind of self-aware irony that might make this enjoyable. Read full review

all i can really say is its awesome. bit slower then the old series, i think the writers need to rethink with the long drawn out stories abit, and be abit like the old classic ones, alot more fighting scene's with laser guns would be good to start with, but over all i think its alot betterall i can really say is its awesome. bit slower then the old series, i think the writers need to rethink with the long drawn out stories abit, and be abit like the old classic ones, alot more fighting scene's with laser guns would be good to start with, but over all i think its alot better then the long drawn out battlestar galactica the new series,… Expand

Unlike Detroit 1-8-7 and the other mindless drabble on tv today, V has a plot that actually requires viewers to think. I realize many out there consider this to be too difficult, but for those people who feel the need for a little brain stimulation, V is excellent! There are many intellectual levels to this show and it's one of those shows I think and talk about for hours after I watched the latest episode. The reason for me that it's a 9 and not a 10 is that the plot can be a bit choppy. I don't like that there's a new plot against the Vs every week...I'd like to see a little more build-up over time. Also, I think the writers have missed some great opportunities for some really good storylines (which is understandable, given that ABC cut their episodes down to 10 this season). If ABC does not renew for one more FULL season (I'm talking a 16 or more episode season), I don't think they'll be able to neatly wrap up the story and it will absolutely be the end of ABC for me.… Expand

The pace of the show is so slow, it's like watching grass grow. Maybe it's me but wen I think off an alien invasion, a species with clearly more power then the peasants on the planet itself... I expect something like Independence day... You want the woman to breed you alien children... whyThe pace of the show is so slow, it's like watching grass grow. Maybe it's me but wen I think off an alien invasion, a species with clearly more power then the peasants on the planet itself... I expect something like Independence day... You want the woman to breed you alien children... why talk to the peasants? Just kill all the men on the planet and rape all the woman. That's what gonna happen if it would be real.. Not this dumb story.… Expand

I saw one preview prior to watching the last episode. I have been looking for another interesting series outside the normal Criminal Minds, CSI and Law & Order: SVU. I have given a couple a chance but have moved on after the first 45 minutes. V was different. I wasn't sure what to suspect. AI saw one preview prior to watching the last episode.

OH! MY! GOD! 7.2 on the rating scale, looks like metacritic has a load of fanboys and girls in its users.

If I disliked the first series, the second gave me a coffin and nails to bury it in, everything is a complete let down, Anna is no longer the dark, manipulative character she was in the first. Now she's reduced to a bargain box style of bad guy out for revenge, that coupled with some character growth in Lisa makes the series very bitter tasting to me.
There was plenty to work with in this series, good ideas just popping up on the surface of this utter cesspool of mediocre writing styles that shows particularly in Tyler's actions and reactions-if the world is what these idiots are writing(that coupled with the Terra Nova character Josh)where the older teens are just angst ridden morons who scream 'you don't understand me!'(which is usually the early or mid teens) then I might just off myself.
And the ending-oh the ending, that is the complete and total clichÃ© and what cements my opinion that it is good that it's dead. Let it stay that way, because IF it were to be somehow revived with the current storyline, then the idiocy of which they write out how 'some' people are either uneffected by the new Human Bliss or how not being outdoors makes you safe from it.… Expand
