It was even worse than I remembered after finding these reviews at Reddit
Not only was the new V promoting right wing propaganda but actively using their storylines to undermine some of President Obama's initiatives..
Like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Obamacare...

What went wrong with 'V (2009)'?

I didn't like its politics. It had aliens giving free health care for sinister purposes right when Obama was trying to get the ACA passed. It took several right wing approaches to Science Fiction. Most Sci Fi like Star Trek takes a more left wing style and people who watch science fiction are generally more liberal and some saw V as an attack on progressives and our new Presidents agenda. That is part of the reason I gave up on the show in the first season.

Don't forget the insidiousness of green, er, blue energy. It was anti-intellectual too. Which is pretty funny when the original series was about the dangers of fascism. The update was right wing propaganda.
