"V" somehow managed to get everything right
ABC's remake of the 1983 miniseries could easily have been "Knight Rider" or "Bionic Woman." Instead, as Robert Bianco notes, "writer Scott Peters, whose 'The 4400' was one of TV's best recent alien-invasion dramas, hits all the right chords. He adds just enough modern media twists and political/sleeper-cell parallels to contemporize the story without drowning it in paranoia. The clothes and hair have changed, no doubt for the better, but the essentials are all in place — including, we can only hope, the visitors' legendary fondness for hamsters."
