First Impressions: V
I just watched the first episode of the "reimagined" V on ABC, mostly out of curiosity. I never really watched the original series, so other than knowing the very basic premise, I was going into this with no expectations.
So let's see: the cast includes Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk from Firefly, and Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost. Well, that's one way to pull in the target demographic. The acting was pretty solid, no complaint there. In fact, it's much, much better than ABC's other great hope for a Lost replacement, FlashForward. (I really want to like that show, and I'm completely hooked on the premise and the central mystery, but the writing and acting are often painfully bad. But I digres...) I'm most interested in seeing Scott Wolf's character's progress, and he also had the best line of the episode with his observant "Are all visitors pretty?" (or something along those lines, I don't remember the exact quote).
The special effects and sets and such were good, nothing spectacular but they don't need to be. So overall, I liked it well enough, but I'm not sure this is a series that will hold my attention for the long time. Seems like all the resistance has to do is take a few of the dead visitor bodies and expose them to the world, right? We'll see, I'll give it a few more episodes.
(Man, that damn Lost has ruined TV for me. Everything I see now just pales by comparison. Except Fringe; that show has kicked into high gear and is almost as good a ride.)Labels: review
