Review of V

V (1984–1985)
9/10
Thrilling...
29 December 2015
After an adrenaline packed TV mini-series and "V: The Final Battle", the "V" series continues right from the cliffhanger that "V: The Final Battle" left us with. And the series is one long continuous exciting thrill ride. And if you enjoyed the mini-series and final battle, then you will most definitely also like the series as well.

A great continuation of the franchise that offers heaps of action, drama, intrigue and storytelling, all rolled together in an amazing Sci-Fi series.

Of course, as the series is from 1984, then the special effects are not super great in comparison with todays effects. But "V" is not a show that relies solely on effects to be entertaining. No, this is a story- and character-driven show.

The 1984 series bring about most of the cast from the mini-series and final battle, along with a bunch of new characters. And even has some replacement characters too.

On a personal note, then I think the ending was very fulfilling, as it left on an even bigger cliffhanger than "The Final Battle" did.

I enjoyed this franchise tremendously back in the 1980s, and still do so today. And I have seen it all at least three times by now. There is enough contents to support repeated viewings. "V" is definitely one of my all time favorite Sci-Fi shows.
