Holy Crap, Holy Crap, Holy Crap
I just got Netflix last week and wow, is V the series from 1984 terrible. The first Mini Series is nearly perfect(for made for TV) the second, very good. This TV weekly series is almost the worst TV I have ever watched. Its essentially the Dukes of Hazard meets an even lower budget and an alien Boss Hog. Characters rarely if ever make rational decisions. The V's HQ is constantly infiltrated by a group of untrained "resistance" to gain a person or an advantage, and the humans will routinely choose to "punch out" the V instead of killing them all the while exclaiming how vile the Visitors are and how terrible they have made humans existence.
In all seriousness, the series is so terrible, its a joke. I have seen the new series and I am not impressed, but it is heads and tails better than this one (yet still far worse than the original V mini-series).
