Who is watching the new V series on sky, ch one?

It premiered today, to be aired Monday Nights. Some good actors are there; does it look good? How different is it from the classic V series, although i have not watched the old series entirely?

Update:

The original, which i have watched in parts here and there, was realistic and made a very slick, stylish production, i thought. Wish i had watched the whole series.

In the first episode of the new series which i watched last night only the FBI woman, actress Elizabeth Mitchell, who also acted in Lost seems real. And the priest character Joel Gretsch, is one of my favourite actors is another actor who does well. Most others in the episode look like plastic models, esp the 2 teen boys. And i notice the head of the aliens is a woman. Of course the aliens are meant to look like plastic models, don't mind that!

Tell me how far ahead are you in the US with this series? Here in Uk last night was the premiere of the 1st episode of 12. Will be watching nxt wk.

Update 2:

Oh, yes, forgot to say tht the reporter guy is looking good fr his part.

    I was excited when I heard about the remake, but frankly found it disappointing. There were a lot of problems behind the set - they fired the producer after 3 episodes, replaced him, fired the replacement and then took it off the air for several months to retool it. This all shows. The show is very uneven. There are problems with pacing, logic, awful characterization (I often found myself rooting for the bad guys because so many of the 'heroes' are so incredibly annoying).

    The series has a great deal of potential, but the execution in season 1 was seriously lacking. I hope that having several months to plan and fix the problems over the summer means they've made radical improvements. What I found most annoying was that the original was in many ways allegorical. It had a strong theme and a point to make. The new version doesn't. It kind of rambles and wanders around aimlessly.

    I'd recommend watching the original. Parts are dated but it does hold up, and I think it's better than the remake.

    Well, the season is only 12 episodes and Season 2 starts in November over here in Canada, U.S. I haven't seen the original but know from old fans keep different are the main hero is a woman not a man, we don't see the full Visitor skin until Season 2, their is a baby but all you'll see is the tail. "V" stands for Visitors but the priest wil suggest they change it to Victory. The general public doesn't know their really lizards. The Nazi allegory is gone, and because of the way the plot moves the 5th column looks like terrorists to the main public. The term "collaborator" is gone, and the 5th column so far only seems like 4 or 5 people because it only really focuses in New York, group.

    Oh, Jane Balder will play a new Dianna in Season 2, not related to the original, imprisoned on the V's ship by her daughter Anna, and we'll see what their home planet looks like based on the room Diana is kept in.

    I also watched it and really enjoyed it to be honest. I watched the original and loved it even tho i was only 5/6 years old however Sky1 showed V and i caught up many years l8r.

    was abit disappointed that they call them the V's instead of the visitors and that they had changed many of the characters. The Visitors also dont have the lizard voice either.....

    I look 4ward to watching on a Monday, the SFX are brilliant but i do wish they would have kept some things the same

    I easily got for free Janes Hotel Family Hero here: http://bitly.com/1pULAzg

    no surveys, no scams, just the full game!

    It is a game that has a gameplay which you as the hero is tasked to restore a chain of hotels and regain it like it used to.

    It's the best game.
