Let me start off by saying i loved the original miniseries and often watch it back on dvd. I recently thought id purchase the later series and the difference is both night and day! Firstly the budget is so poor they couldnt even afford the technology to change the aliens voices so what you have is everyone speaking in a clearly obvious human tone. If that wasnt bad enough then the poor acting and editing is gonna stick the knife in and twist it. Add to that the shoddy script and poorly executed plot and whats left is basically unwatchable!
If like me you saw the dvd was available and you read the glowing reviews let me warn you dont bother and keep your memories of the original intact.
