V was a science fiction television series that aired on ABC from 2009 to 2011. The show was a remake of the 1980s television miniseries of the same name. The series takes place in early 21st century Earth, where an alien race known as the “Visitors” have landed and made their presence known to humanity. The Visitors come in peace, claiming they want to help humanity with their advanced technology and medical cures. However, as they start to infiltrate the lives of the humans, it becomes clear that their true intentions are much more sinister.
