  MovieFreak.com - "V - The Complete Series" DVD Review
V: The Complete series is a double-sided three disc set that includes 19 episodes of V the television series that started in the fall of 1984 after the huge success of the two part mini-series V and V: The Final Battle.
V the television series only lasted for nineteen episodes and there is a definite reason for that, the episodes are extremely weak and the series just gets worse and worse with each episode.
The inevitable V the television series followed and it is only enjoyable (and you would definitely have to be in the right mood) for two campy performances and for laughs at the overly bad acting, horrible special effects, and terrible dialogue.

 DVD Review - V: The Original Miniseries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Series creator and director Kenneth Johnson came up with the original storyline and it was only after a meeting with television executives that it was decided to depict the fascists as aliens bent on invasion.
I would have liked to see some of the very original promotional materials used to advertise "V" presented on the DVD as they were quite memorable and were a key ingredient in the success of the miniseries but, given the excellent commentary track and nice featurette, I really can’t complain.
As a result, "V: The Final Battle" (I’m ignoring the awful weekly television series that soon followed) lacked the magic of the original creation and, while still entertaining in its own right, should really be considered as a wholly separate story.

 HIGHLANDER TV SERIES - SEASON ONE DVD
A thin fantasy of empowerment conceit (junior Nietzsche) that has spawned five feature films, two television series, what look to be two animated series, and a collectible card game, it's a franchise with legs that has the distinction of crafting its own simplistic mythology from tired loam.
Like almost any television series, however, the shows do get better as the season progresses--a lot of that having to do, probably, with character introductions and premise establishment handled in the first few episodes, and Lambert only making a cameo in the first.
The series is sort of misogynistic it goes without saying, but the casting of Tess as a sub-literate victim/hysterical siren is frankly too hilarious to overly offend.
