Earth has its first encounter with an extraterrestrial race. Calling themselves the Visitors and promoting peace, they seem to be friendly, but their congeniality may be a cover for a malevolent agenda. Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell), an FBI agent, discovers a secret about the aliens that threatens the lives of Earthlings, including her teenage son, who sees them as a sign of hope. Meanwhile, Father Jack (Joel Gretsch), already questioning his faith when the Visitors arrive, seeks answers outside his church and finds other dissidents who believe the Vs are not what they claim to be. The ABC series is billed as a reimagining of a 1980s miniseries by the same name.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

After a strong first season, V comes in for a rough landing with corny dialogue, slow plots, and schmaltzy melodrama.

Predictably a complete bust. Go to Full Review Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly May 21, 2018
To me, this was V's finest hour: A twistedly funny, fast-paced good time, which simultaneously gave me what I want and snatched all my hopes and dreams out from under me. Go to Full Review James Poniewozik TIME Magazine Jan 4, 2011
I decided that I wouldn't bother with a longer review of V unless the show had markedly improved from last season. It hasn't. Go to Full Review TV Fanatic Staff TV Fanatic Dec 4, 2019
5/5
This was an epic episode for this series and I hope to see many more like it in the third season. If there is a third season, that is. Go to Full Review Anthony Ocasio Screen Rant Dec 4, 2019
I don't think it could have ended any better. Go to Full Review Ron Hogan Den of Geek Dec 4, 2019
It took the show entirely too long, but it's finally found its destiny...This is what V should have been all along. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Chris T @Chris656 Aug 3, 2025 Too much like a soap opera, and not enough like V. Anna is a liar, deceiver, conniving, backstabbing, selfish, self serving, ruthless, destructive, vicious, murderer, demonic, evil, etc. These are not the traits of a Visitor. Anna is definitely not a Visitor. Anna is a human being. Anna is a woman.

See more Jul 22, 2019 Horribly underrated show. See more Oct 13, 2018 A refreshing take on the original series I grew up with and loved! I only wished that the series would have been picked up by another network or that a movie special would close a few plot lines .... This show truly deserved a longer run in my opinion. See more Oct 10, 2014 Som så många andra sci-fi-serier så tappar också denna mycket efter första tjusningen. Och det märkte ju inte bara jag eftersom den blev cancelled. Jag är inte helt klar med denna ännu och befarar att den inte har ett "färdigt" slut. See more Read all reviews
