    Protraph Lack of good storyline.
    KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
    Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
    Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
    aaron-70658 So after deciding I'd had enough of the "reality TV" garbage on offer I was going through a friends DVD collection to see what he had worth watching and found this Yes OK it wasn't as good as the original but it beat what was on offer otherwise by season 2 I was getting into it and had gotten to ep10 yay cliffhanger just as well I had the DVD's and din't need to wait But NO to surprise that was it WTF where the hell is season 3 completely peeved off now was looking forward to a big battle and humans finally overcoming the V I SO FRICKEN HATE when they can a show and leave us hanging thanks for nothing and F U
    saracogluozge Any show can contain some plot holes, esp sci-fi series are a bit more susceptible. But I have never watched anything that contains so much plot holes, illogical approach and sloppy editing. If you have an average IQ you will feel that producers are mocking with you. the worst part is the 5th Column. They are "good aliens" whom want to eliminate alien queen Anna (Anna is the antagonist who has a secret agenda, show herself as a very helpful alien but makes plans to occupy earth ). They are shown to sacrifice themselves in order to keep the identity of the members etc. But whole 2 seasons no member thinks to go to press and say "Hey I am alien too, this is our secret agenda, and these are the proofs" moreover no one tries to assassinate Anna. Btw Anna always wonders alone without any security etc
    geekgirl101 I refrained from giving 10 out of 10 as there's one thing about this entire series that bothers me - it goes on way too long.Compared to the original series yes there's a lot more going on in great detail. Aliens come to earth, they deceive and manipulate human emotions as part of their plan for an invasion, things don't just go right overnight. It's good that there's this real sense of threat, emotional manipulation, war, and a real possibility that the humans will not succeed, but I think that it just takes it so far that it's stretching out the whole series and leaves you wondering how much longer is the charade gonna go on for.I would like to see the entire series continue and see how the big finale is going to look like, but I think 4 series is too long.
    jinthepan-256-39279 Just finished the season two. As the time of the end of the season comes near, only one question kept popping into my mind: Can this series keep itself safe into season three? So I came to IMDb and found out that this series was canceled after all.The first season was promising. One of the clever moves of remaking old series.V stands for Visitors, not for Victory. Visitors are not a military type of cult, but a civilized one-mind union whose tactics are mainly on the diplomatic side. The leader is not a male anymore but a strikingly attractive and charismatic female. Visitors are not new in this planet, but have been here for a long time already.The John May plot was really good, a very refreshing twist, and the fifth-columns too, not a powerful resistance but only a group of few people who are not starting as heroes but rather public enemies harming the new harmony between the two races.Season One finale was impressive. It sure made you looking forward to season two.But. Alas. The season one was all that this series can show. And there was nothing good left for season two.I could see the endeavors by the writers to make the season two one of their best works too. Actually, the starting of the season two was promising as the season one. Until the new leader of fifth-columns took charge.Something happened in the midway. Don't know what. But the entire plot started to collapse rapidly. I've been thinking over the possible reasons of this plot disaster and my own answer was in the season one itself.It discarded the John May plot too early.John May plot was the gem of the season one's story. John May was the force of the whole fifth-columns plot. Who is this John May. What has he done in the past? Why does Anna have this great fear of him, what kind of threat to them? What will John May do in the future with the resistance? Lots of questions raised in the early episodes of the season one. The answer was great indeed. John May is already dead and you have to fight your own fights. Great plot with great twists but they revealed this twist too early. If John May had been kept a secret through the entire season two, not to mention of the early season one, it would have been a major force to keep this series gallantly move forward even to season three or four. It's so sad that this great twist for a possible grand ending plot was wasted too early.And It didn't need a heroine really.The first season was very good in introducing many good characters who will be united in the fifth-columns. The characters of the season one was alive with his or her own story to tell. And with their own secrets to be revealed 'gradually.' Season two blew up all of these by making Erica the only center of the resistance. It's finally made the whole series as Erica vs Anna, making all the other interesting characters as just props to make only those two stand out.As other characters' importance wears out, all the nonsenses begin.A traitor is resurrected who was already fated to be corrupted by the human emotions. Human emotions are feared by those aliens who already showed us splendid varieties of emotions. Seeing all these emotions all the time, even Anna doesn't know the difference between emotionless states and emotionlessly pretending faces. Getting in and out of the mothership is becoming so easy that at one point you can't tell the difference of those two spaces: the mothership and the downtown NY.You can't do multitasking in this kind of plot.The greatest blunder of the season two, the very reason of this series' self-implosion. Twenty-nine ships. Twenty-nine boys. Twenty-nine local resistance. But you have only one Anna and Lisa. Why not Beijing or Tokyo? Why should this series be focused on NY? Ty is expandable so what suspense is left there to watch? Even Erica is expandable, right? for a better leader among the proved candidates of the fifth- columns.Finally, one of the few delights of the season two: seeing old faces back into the series. Even this should have been tried earlier, I hope, in the season one. These relief pitchers were too late to save the losing game.Anyway, nobody can't save this series back. The final episode of season two was too fatal.Ty is dead, a new lover parted, Lisa is useless, Diana gone, Ryan dead and Amy is another super Queen calling Anna mommy. Suddenly a new clandestine group. But the entire human race is now slave to the aliens.Sigh.It just sounds like a fanfiction written by a really imaginative twelve-year boy or girl.Only John May still feels like a real person in this wonderland, but you killed John May too early, Anna.
