User Reviews

A slimy soap-opera masked as SF

I've learned that the best way to write a reasonable review of the TV- series is to wait (and record) until they air all the episodes and then watch all of them one after another (no week delay). This way the picture looks radically different. So, V is nothing but Dallas, Denver Clan or some Mexican (or Turkish) soap-opera with artificially fabricated plot full of holes, illogical happenings and "twists" (all very predictable, as a matter of fact), unexplained events brought up in some episodes, bad acting and casual (I-really-don't-care) production manner. Of course, most of the people craving for SF are willing to swallow up almost anything that even remotely reassembles something like that. This is not it. It's simply a cheap placebo for masses, full of clichés seen so many times before in other forms. They should not have canceled the show. They should not have made it in the first place.

However, three stars for casting Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk (only as guest, unfortunately) of the Firefly, but even they can not save such a badly conceived and produced project.
