I enjoyed V, for all that it showcased every single bad 80s trope. I wonder if it was supposed to be a send-up of all the alien invasion action movies that got in the hands of some better than average writers who did what they could with the script. Redone today, with some tweaks, it could be a timely commentary on Trump, DOGE and MAGA.

The series was redone in 2009 with the charismatic Morena Baccarin in the lead, but based on what I’m reading of the timing of its release, I doubt I’ll give it a watch.
