*SPOILER!!!* The first episode was very intense. It seemed like this was made for the big screen instead of TV. I personally found it cliche that the V's were lizard creatures. It was pretty suspenseful but it was a bit confusing in the beginning. Some of the messages in this series are both good and bad depending on your personal perspective and beliefs. Overall, it was really good and keeps you hooked until next week.

What Parents Need to Know
About V
Parents need to know that this remake of the same-named 1980s miniseries centers on the arrival of a group of alien Visitors who claim to have only the best of intentions but actually have a hidden agenda. As their real goals become clear, a resistance movement starts fighting back -- so you can expect some fighting (sometimes intense, with small explosives, knives, etc.), as well as minor swearing and some suggestions of human-alien romance. Several main characters are placed in situations where they must make tough choices -- to stand up for what's right or to abandon their principles and sell out the human race for personal gain.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about principles. Would you help the Visitors if it led to wealth and personal power? Or would you fight back, even if resisting had a high cost? What do you think of the characters' decisions in these situations?
- Why do so many aliens on TV shows and movies look like humans? What do you think of the show’s explanation for this seemingly impossible biological coincidence?

Interesting, but parents watch it first!
I watched the first episode of the show because I was bored and waiting for dancing with the stars. Its very interesting actuatlly. Well let narrow the results Violence: Fighting, some blood, a couple of dead bodies. Sex: Some romance, one "Shes hot" phrase(I dont really mind this but some people do), and kissing. language: d*** is all I remember. Also, they have priests in this. I'm catholic and I think that they introduced the priests respectively, but thats just the first episode. others may disagree.
- I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give itMy concerns are:
It gives the message that we can be easily hoodwinked and manipulated by good looks -i.e. "if they look like us they must be ok and worthy of being trusted"
- I rate this title iffy for age 12 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
- Inappropriate language
- Drinking, smoking, or drug use
- Negative role models
- My highlights are:
- Good role models
Scary and only if you know what a alien or lizard people are
Good if you understand whats going on some adult suggestive themes like affairs, GF+BF, Religon, and violence and a lot of blood all in all good but just talk to kids about it.
