I remember watching the whole series as a kid with my mum's cousin and really enjoying it. I had watched the repeats almost every time they were repeated on sky and when I saw the disc set on DVD I bought it almost sraight away!
This series follows directly on from V-The original Mini series and forms the end of the original series. Until I saw this I thought they were all one series but apparently not!

The visitors are continuing to manipulate world opinion so that few believe that they are reptiles in disguise but when pregnant robin finds out the truth she goes into a panic and demands an abortion but will it go ahead or is it too good an oportunity to resist.........
Donovan is tortured by truth serum in diana's attempts to learn his contacts upon the mother ship after exchanging himself for his son's release but can he withstand the pain and escape....
This series shows how with strong will and determination a small group of people can find others and release a world from total domination.
It is rated a 15 which is probably a bit harsh as a 12 would have probably sufficed.
Even though by todays standards it is outdated in the costumes and hairstyles etc the effects and sets were ahead of their times and would not look out of place in a modern movie.
I find this a brilliant mini series which can be watched again and again and would reccommend to anyone wanting a good science fiction series.
Advantages: Over 4 1/2 Hours Of Superb Entertainment Disadvantages: Disappointing Lack Of Extra's
The final 3 parts of the mini series in a 2Disc Dvd represent excellent value of money.The dvds have a lack of features nil really except from the languages and subtitles.But really who can complain as most will be grateful that this is now availible on dvd.
The picture and sound are what you would expect from a dvd although rather dissapointed there was no 5.1 sound only 2.0 surround but nonetheless still provided me with the best viewing experience ...

DVD Description
The epic television miniseries comes to an explosive conclusion as a motley force of humans makes a final stand against the reptilian visitors who intend to harvest them as food and use the earth as a giant water cooler. The cast of the original series, including Marc Singer, Faye Grant, Jane Badler, and Robert Englund, returns, with the notable addition of Michael Ironside as tough guy Ham Tyler.
