I watched the original series long ago. It was decent. The new “reimagined” (as they say it), was well done. The acting was excellent (much better than Flash Forward), and the special effects were top notch.
The underlying theme is that the aliens come to earth and offer mankind technology which will help overcome many stuggles and help man achieve a better life. The aliens initially overcome resistance to their arrival by portraying themselves as deeply caring (and very attractive). However their hidden agenda (if like the old V), is that they have arrived on earth to gather humans for food. Under their human looks lurks an evil reptile like creature (this has already been shown in the new V).
Again the parallels to the Obama administrations policies and propaganda techniques are astounding. It is worth watching, if anything, just to see that.
Sounds like a show I would like...thanks.
