Last 6 episodes are horrible!!!!!!!!
As a fan of the "Original Miniseries" & the sub-par "Final Battle", I decided to get "The Series" after a long hesitation, like many I had grew up with this show in the 80's, & had a hard time remembering the "Series", so I got it recently & I don't feel like I wasted my money on it, but I was a bit disappointed at the direction it took, the 1st episode "Liberation Day" picks up where the "Final Battle" left off, where Donovan manages to capture Diana who had escaped at the end of the "Final Battle" & we see the survivors of the "Final Battle", Donovan, Julie, Elias, Ham Tyler, Robin & Robert Maxwell, & friendly visitors Martin & Willie trying to live a normal life again a year later, Donovan & Martin covering news stories, Julie resuming her science education, Ham once again a mercenary for hire, & Elias & Willie owning a resturant, but it is short lived once Diana escapes custody & makes her way to a satellite station & signals more visitors, it is here that Diana discovers the rest dust is only active for so long & once again the visitors try to regain control of Earth, this show had promise at first, & the first few episodes are on par with the two miniseries, Nathan & Kyle Bates are two new interesting characters & Nathan is a believable character as a Donald Trump clone who owns "Science Frontiers" a corporate company, who keeps Diana at bay,(imagine that), & Kyle, his rebellious son who joins the resistance, we are also introduced to visitor Lydia, who replaces the doomed Pamela from the "Final Battle" as Diana's catfighting rival & Charles who is by far one of the more charismatic characters ever to appear on "V", but by the 12th episode the magic is gone & I mean gone!!, to start with, they kill off Martin & Robert Maxwell in the beginning, which didn't bother me, what bothered me was how the production value diminished with each episode, by the 12th one, Elias, Nathan Bates, his japanese henchman, & Charles are killed off, Ham Tyler & Robin are written out, & the Science Frontiers subplot is gone, & L.A. seems to shrink suddnely, & by episode 13, we are left with Donovan, Julie, Willie, Kyle, & Starchild Elizabeth who has morphed into a hot woman for some time, who now rides around like the "A Team" fighting visitors in what looks like Hazzard county from "Dukes of Hazzard" which also was a Warner Bros. production the same as "V" & had ended its run about this same time, it is as if Warner Bros. decided to use the "Dukes" sets to SAVE MONEY!!! & it really cheapens the "V" story arc as a whole, Donovan & Julie become a joke & Diana & Lydia act as if they were on "Dynasty" & Frank Ashmore who played Martin returns as his twin brother in I guess Warner's last ditch attempt to boost the ratings, so much potential lost due to Warner Bros. & NBC's ignorance & greed, not to mention the reuse of scenes which didn't bother me as long as the story was solid, this is my take, & if your a hardcore "V" fan, then it is worth it for the first 12 episodes anyway, the last 6 you might be able to get through if you don't die laughing, but it is worth it for the first 12 at least

V the series
Well after watching this series brought back memories from my past from the tv promos to the sky writing when I was is tech school and is still just as good now as it was then with the exception of the NOW cgi we have come to enjoy. <
>It is a great buy and value for money
