V reviewed by Variety ➤

Variety is optimistic about the new V:

"While "V" might at first appear like a strange Reagan-era artifact, ABC and the producers have concocted an updated reboot that's unexpectedly timely -- a strange amalgam of post-Sept. 11 paranoia and science-fiction soap opera. The pilot busily races through too much business, but it dangles a tantalizing array of plots, and features a knockout performance (in more ways than one) by Morena Baccarin as the cool, beguiling alien leader. The network's scheduling gambit -- four weeks on in November, then a hiatus -- is either genius or folly, but "V's" maiden voyage rates near the top of the alphabet."
