I was watching the original miniseries from 1983 (they had a marathon on SyFy), and it seemed very intriguing. It had a very good story and good visual effects even by today's standards.
Now, starting Nov. 3rd, a new version of the miniseries (a 're-imagining' if you will) will air on ABC. In my opinion, this one, while good, may not hold a candle to the original version. Nothing re-made today usually does. But, I'm willing to give it a try. Below is the trailer.

I dunno, maybe I'm just a sucker for classics, especially shows that were ahead of their time. Good sci-fi shows are usually efficient social commentaries on social distrust and war, and V definitely was. Your thoughts?
