“V” was the miniseries and short lived television series staring Marc Singer about an alien invasion that began disguised as a mission of peace. Chestnut is slated to be the male lead who’s the boyfriend of the female lead who’s a Homeland Security Agent that will be the leader of the resistance. But the irony of the situation is that unbeknowngst to her, Chestnut is one of the invading aliens.
I am all for brothers getting the lead in TV shows. But I hope that this isn’t a set up for him to be killed in a future episode.
All this assumes that the show will last more than 12 episodes and I seriously doubt it. What made “V” good television was the cool effects and the ensemble cast. Also, Diana was an excellent villian. She was a baddie that you loved to hate. The show might seem cheesy now, but I doubt that ABC can pull off what Sci-Fi channell did with Battlestar Galactica. I fear that this will be the same as the Bionic Woman: An epic failure.
