I am, though I must say that I haven't enjoyed it as much as I did the original.

The original V (not to be confused with the "sequels" which are "V the Final Battle" and "V the series") was loosely based on the "It can't happen here" book. It was less science fiction and more political drama with some soap opera thrown in. It was a kind of "Under fire" meets "dallas."

This one has been a lot more about scifi and action, more of a "star trek" meets "24."
It has potential to be good, but something has been lost, i think. The only political references come from the nutwing camp, with the "savior" visitors offering "universal health care" and such.
