I really like V, sucks they only did a 4 episode season to start.
Been watching the original miniseries. It kicks ass. Way ahead of it's time.
Frank discussion of racial issues.
There's lots of anti-facism themes in the old one that aren't in the new one, but the old one borrowed a lot from Star Wars in the action scenes.
I hear the second mini-series is great too, and that the full series is not very good.
