Asia News: Morena Baccarin (May 6, 2009) V was first broadcast on ABC on November 3, 2009 and was a ratings success, after a winter hiatus the show returned on March 30, 2010. The show has been rated by critics as one of the best Sci Fi shows of all time and King Features' entertainment reporter Cindy Elavsky called V "the best new show on television, by far. The special effects are feature-film quality; the writing is intelligent and time-relevant; and the acting is first-rate. The first five minutes alone will hook you for the entire season."
