Roswell, New Mexico

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.

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.

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely loved the original Roswell series. I remember watching it every week and then bought all three seasons of it on DVD. When I saw they were remaking it, I was very hesitant to watch it because I didn't think they could do it justice but in the end, decided to give it a chance. I like that some of the elements are the same but I love that the new series has more to it. It's not just about the aliens or Max and Liz, it has more meat to the story. I love that Liz is a strong female character, she's intelligent and she stands up for herself. I also love that Max isn't inherently good. You see sides of him that make him kind of scary but not in a creepy way. It lends another dimension to the whole alien storyline that was missing from the original. I also really like what they did with the Michael character. I'm sure a lot of people were not happy to see the direction they took him in but I honestly think it fits well. So far I'm not very impressed with the Isobel character and what they did with her. Honestly, at this point, she could be taken out of the series completely and it wouldn't really make much of a difference. All in all, I've watched the first two episodes and can not wait to see what happens next.

The characters in this show a recall self-absorbed and all have the worst traits of humanity. Their priorities are all messed up and their lives, and this the plots, are all surface and nothing below. They are the most shallow and some of the worst characters and people you could know. The aliens are no better, except for the ones trying to save their own species. If they have to get rid of this strain of humans, I am ok with it. I am also going to note the shows writers so that i can avoid watching other shows they work on. If you write what you know, thesecwriters know nothing that is useful or entertaining. Judt whiny surface level garbage.

If I could give fewer than 0 stars I would.

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.
