V was a US sci-fi television show from the mid-1980s that spanned 2 mini-series and an ongoing series that was canceled after 19 episodes. It dealt with the arrival of an alien lizard-like race masquerading as human-like beings and their attempt to harvest earth for water and food which in their case means humans. The series was remade in 2009 but despite sharing a similar premise and some actors, it is not considered to be part of the same continuity.
