V Wars Review: 5 Ups & 3 Downs

3. The Character Conflict Is Great

Save your loved ones or save the world? That's the question that V Wars continually poses its protagonist with, and one that ultimately feeds the season's arc.

This isn't a story about good and evil. Those lines are blurred the moment that Michael kills his very first victim. But it is a story about good and evil people, and the lines they are willing to blur in order to achieve their goals.

We learn right from the offset that Dr. Luther Swann is a good man and that he's willing to do anything to protect his loved ones, but he's soon forced to question just how far he's willing to go, as Michael's condition leaves him struggling with the realization that he's beginning to lose his best friend. And that struggle, that dilemma if you will, is what drives the narrative forward.

Relentless government organizations may make their presence felt throughout while other 'Bloods' show up in their droves, but they are only an extension of the original narrative because, when you strip it all back, the story remains focused on one man's desperate attempts to save his best friend - a best friend that so many others are willing to kill.

A story isn't really a story without conflict and it simply must be said that V Wars is full of it.
