"V"Obama

Many on the right, especially Tea Partiers, are arguing that ABC’s remake of the hit 1980s series “V” is a critique of current administration policies. Sean Hannity cites that the series “focuses on a telegenic leader who arrives from outer space offering a message of hope and compromise and promising, you guessed it, universal health care. Sound familiar? Oh, and the media? They love this new leader.”
I grew up on the original miniseries and TV show, and took it as a simple ride on a sci-fi spaceship, expecting the same from this. Without putting in my opinions, I’m curious as to what others think of the series. Is it a critique, or have the interpretations become skewed?
