I’ve never seen the original cause I wasn’t even born when they showed it lol so I can’t comment. I actually really liked the pilot of this version though. There was so much hype and it didn’t disappoint me. The second episode wasn’t as good. But it’s not enough that I’m not attached though I loved Morena Baccarin.

I liked the pilot of Flashforward but the episodes after that just bored me. They drag on before the last few minutes where there’s a “WTF” moment. It’s a shame since I love John Cho so much.

The first episode was too rushed, and the second one drug like crazy. I was a big fan of the Fascist allegory in the 1980s era original and most of the characters in it. Sure the special effects are so much better now and all, but at its core the original V had a great story and that’s what mattered. Except for the afore mentioned actors, none of the others are clicking for me in their roles. I don’t know if it’s the actors (as I’m unfamiliar with the rest of them) or the way the characters are being written.

I’m having the same difficulty with Flash Forward. I like John Cho, Courtney B. Vance, and Brian O’Byrne … the rest I could care less about.
