Summary: I loved it then and I still love it now!
Review: Unfortunately, when aired as a miniseries, I was in my early 20s and didn't spend a lot of time at home, so I missed about 25% of it. I bought it so I could fill in those blanks. I enjoyed it just as much on DVD as I did 20 years ago. Of course, the suspense of "not knowing" isn't there now, but it's still a very good movie. I, like others that reviewed this, wish there would have been some trailers, however.

Summary: An awesome mini-series that holds its own even today
Review: A loose "modern-day" fictionalization of the events leading up to and including the Holocaust of World War II, "V" demonstrated just how easy it is for people to ignore the events transpiring around them ... and how desperate simply living can be when oppressed by a superior enemy.While this series contains a lot of 1980s "cheese" ... from bad hair, so-so acting and special effects ... the ideas and the manner in which they were presented to the audience were unique and powerful. Everyone wonders if we are alone in the Universe ... and it is a frightening thought about what would happen if a more powerful race of beings "arrived" at our planet ... would we fight? Would we survive? Or would we follow the path of so many terrestrial cultures ... that vanished after the arrival of a more powerful, or advanced one?

Summary: Enchanting
Review: I've seen this series again now after 15 years. The first time I saw it on TV, and today I was surprised on how much tension it still creates and how much impact it still has. It is not outdated at all and very fascinating.

Summary: V...For Victorious Mini-Series
Review: V is a great Sci-Fi Mini Series which was probably a culmination of a lot of sci-fi movies up to that point and a precursor to ID4. Aliens arrive on earth with a promise of peace and friendship but have a "symbol" on their space shuttles and their military style uniforms almost resembling a German Swastika. From here the viewer all ready knows what is in store for this story. A thinly veiled propaganda film which is very effective and entertaining with a reminder of past human history. Right away we have humans who see the writings on the wall and start a small resistance against the alien visitors and others who follow blindly for personal gain or to be part of something of a greater whole to become pawns and soldiers in the aliens' agenda. Good diverse cast with Mark Singer and Faye Grant in the leads. A good straight forward sci fi adventure series worth a second look with some good subplots, interesting characters, action sequences, and decent special effects. A highpoint in 1980's sci-fi.

Summary: "V" The Victorious Mini-series
Review: Who shot J.R.? Who killed Laura Palmer? Who caused the fire on Walton's mountain? What on -or off- earth is "V"? If you were old enough to handle the remote control in 1983, you probably remember this science fiction mini-series. One that pondered an extra-terrestrial visit that appears peaceful, but when you pull off its outer skin, You've got a lizard with evil intentions. This is by no means superior science fiction or filmmaking. Rather, It quite often borders on ludicrous. How else could it be with superimposed ships resembling George Forman Grills and a cast of aliens wearing matching red maintenance outfits with government issue Elton John glasses. But, don't let the cheese bring you down. It is a large part of the charm and fun. (When a chase between warring spaceships flies along a war torn coastline, the stock footage used clearly presents several windsurfers enjoying the lovely afternoon.) When it is all said and done, this story became quite ambitious, evolving into two complete mini-series and a television spin-off. And even beyond that, it is also extremely influential. Recent stories like INDEPENDENCE DAY, SIGNS, and MARS ATTACKS owe a lot to concepts created here. Among the aliens is a pre-Freddie Krueger Robert Englund and Diana Bradler, stunningly gorgeous using 80s standards. And the human race is in the hands of Marc Singer so we are in a lot more trouble than could ever be imagined. The DVD set includes the entire first mini-series with some vintage making of material. The film has been remastered into a widescreen format. I can't agree with any of the glowing remarks other reviewers have given the filmmaking, but it is darned funny and would make for a great late night movie marathon with friends.
