I got 2/3 of the first episode of V (2009 version), and it was just good enough to make me want to watch another one.
To me it felt like a (slightly) dumbed down, mainstreamed Battlestar Galactica. It's a clash of cultures, with heavy political undertones. Is the queen lizard visitor an evil Barack Obama figure, offering universal healthcare to the masses in order to advance an insidious agenda? Who knows - no doubt politicos on both sides will read a lot into this show.
