Although the new V incorporates themes drawn from today's headlines, it rockets to success for much the same reason as the original -- solid pound for pound entertainment value, from the performances to the pacing to the special effects.
The show's writing is simply lazy, characters' actions and motivations taking the clear back seat to whatever the writers have already decided should happen next.
Against all the odds stacked against remakes, the new V begins with an entertaining, well-made pilot that tweaks aspects of the original story but generally retains many of the show's familiar elements.
