V, the 80s mini series, has returned recently to US TV. The theme of resisting conquering forces is being played out again and recieves an update here.
Where the original included Third Reich analogies and the Holocaust, this one starts off with the threat of terrorism as we are introduced to one of the show's cast members Erica Evans who is an FBI agent currently engaged in an operation investigating a terrorist cell.
The pilot moves at a cracking rate, revealing a couple twists along the way and where the original made us wait a untill it revealed the aliens for their true reptile self, we are treated to this in the pilot but again with a twist which was really nice to see.
The acting is good as is the script for this sort of TV. Haven't heard of a British network picking it up, though I guess it's just time.
