Roswell, New Mexico

I was a huge fan of the original series and I was excited to see this reboot. After 4 episodes, I'm ready to give up. The characters have no chemistry and are annoying. I don't feel a connection with any of them. At first I thought maybe it was because I still had the original characters in mind and if they had changed the names It would've been easier to like this new version. However, after 4 episodes I'm realizing it's just not good. I'm disappointed.

Review after season 1: Is this show over-the-top and extremely dramatic? Yes. Did that bother me even a little bit? Nope. I definitely knew what I was getting myself into with this series and I enjoyed every second of the ride. The plot kept me intrigued throughout and the mysteries genuinely kept me guessing. So much was happening here and the rapid pacing made this show super entertaining. And I mean, yes, the characters can be a little simple but the intensity of their love for each other had me hooked anyway. Whether it was romantic love or familial love; this show had both in an unconditional type of way, and I'm a big sucker for that.

Review after season 2: I feel like the show definitely went downhill a little bit. The plot simply wasn't as engaging or entertaining this time around, and it was even slightly boring at certain points. The pacing was slower and it all felt kind of repetitive. It didn't have me fully intrigued anymore and it seemed to be missing some of its previous charm. I also wasn't a big fan of the romance this season. Even still, I did still really like the characters: most of them are very nice and easy to root for.

Review after season 3: Although some of the plot was vaguely interesting and certain mysteries did intrigue me a bit, I still wasn't very entertained by this. The emotions and relationships are definitely missing depth and it's hard to feel very invested in any of it. Everything is all rather superficial and simple. The romance especially has been severely underwhelming and underdeveloped. The main couple simply does not interest me in the least, while the couples that I do like hardly get any screentime. It's disappointing. Oh, and last but not least; I am so sick and tired of everything that has to do with Max Evans. Every single season has been about saving this guy (to the point where it is getting extremely repetitive), but I literally couldn't care any less about him. He's as bland as can possibly be, and whenever he does show a hint of emotion, it is usually in an annoying way. So, when every plotline in this show is somehow about this dude's potential survival, it is hard to stay engaged, since he could literally die for all I care.

Top five characters: 1) Isobel Evans, 2) Michael Guerin, 3) Kyle Valenti, 4) Alex Manes and 5) Liz Ortecho.

Least favourite character: Max Evans.

I really enjoyed it. It was the perfect mix of nostalgia and something new. It took a bit to get used to the new cast, but I like them. As far as reboots go, this is a good one. No, it's not like the original. But that doesn't mean it's bad. Check it out. It's worth a watch.

I have enjoyed this show however Liz is just awful! The actress can not act well. Season 3 I had thought Liz was out of the picture but no... her acting just makes it hard to watch every single time she is on screen.

So....people watching CW shows really need to realize something. The CW is largely a liberal network. They like to tie their shows in with modern day politics and they like to keep their cast diverse. Roswell New Mexico is definitely a CW show. The casting is strong, Liz Ortecho is a very strong, intelligent woman. No, she isn't Liz Parker, because as much as I adored the original, this is more relatable to me.

Max as a cop is far more interesting to me than Max as a high schooler. How does he resist healing injured people all the time?

I'm fascinated by the change in Michael's character. I remember when Michael and Maria was everyone's favorite couple. I'm interested to see what changes it will have on Maria's story. Can't wait for more.
