V (2009)

When I first heard of a remake of V, unlike when I heard about BSG, I didn't had many feelings against it, since while the first miniseries was fine, but the rest of the series was quite bad; I was all for it.

The first episode was quite frankly, a deception, too short, too direct and paradoxically too indirect as well, the same applied to the second. Many of the characters are a gender reversal of the original ones, and that while that might be interesting on others is just too evident...

The third one is when things really start to happen, and I enjoyed it very much but it makes me thing if the broadcaster really wants this series to be a success or not: after all there's only going to be another episode more this year and the rest, maybe, next. I fear that the 4th will be too rushed, to unnatural in its intent to give a "hold your breath" moment in an hour intense enough to make you wait till next year... much like the rushed, crappy, unnatural finale of BSG.

Only time will tell...
