I love this show, to someone that loves cliches and forbidden love -- this show has all of it. All the drama and the teenagers problems mixed with alien stuff and how they managed to keep a secret and discover things about themselves for being an alien.. seriously, I loved it. So excited for the reboot!!

I happened to notice this show on Netflix for a long time ago and i thought that its cover looked interesting so i pressed to read more about it and the first thing i did was checking what the show's year was - actually, that is always strangely the first thing i do before even considering watching some serie. I feel like i don't trust a serie to be that good if it goes over year 2011. I don't know what it is. I kinda have some sort of thing for older series.Anyway, i started to watch the pilot and three more episodes of season 1 because everything seemed fascinating about it. Unfortunately i didn't get hooked up with it instantly, it took some time for me to get to that. Actually - a lot. I slowly watched more and more episodes and had the feeling that i shouldn't give up because this show had something so special in it and the characters seemed interesting. I just really felt it that this show definetily deserves a chance even though i wouldn't be yet very involved with it. I was right! Soon while being patient, i got drawn into it. Roswell has magic. Some weird magic. Season by season it just got better and more amazing. I find it cool how Tom Hanks's son Colin Hanks acts in it. I like Jason Behr in his role as Max. I also think Michael is funny. Plus, this show was Katherine Heigl's breakthrough! I even fell in love with the theme of this show. You can also find some really great songs from the show. I'm very happy that i gave this show a chance. It's just so magical in ways that it's hard to describe. I've watched tons of shows and to me this is the second best show i have ever laid eyes on! (The first one on my list is The OC) And trust me, the alien idea in this show works if you have any doubts. If you feel like you don't get drawed into it right away while watching it, be patient. Trust me, you will be thankful for what will come in this show. This is in many ways super interesting and exciting. It has love, drama and fantasy! Now, i'm not a fan of fantasy but this show is nothing like other fantasies. Trust me. I love couples in this and i love the brother bond that Max and Michael have. Max, Michael and Isabel are aliens. Liz, Alex and Maria are normal humans. Eventually they also get involved with alien stuff because they know the secret. Dangerous things happen in this serie because the secret has to be a secret! PLUS, the season 1 villain is super cool! His performance rocks!!! Worth of watching!

for me - a kind of revelation. for discover talented young actors. for the seductive, gentle story. for an interesting view about UFO theme. and for the choice of teenagers to translate old intentions and fears and hopes of human race. sure, it is far to be a classic. but it has enough to seduce. or to suggest questions about fundamental problems. or to give the right tone to understand life as miracle. a lot of clichés are easy to not give enthusiasm about it. but it is a good work. maybe special. for atmosphere and for the new perspective about a civilization who preserves crumbs from the legends about demigods. so, Roswell.

This is one of the best programmes you could find. The moment I started to watch it I was hooked. t are brilliant, and even though it was sadly cancelled they finished the series off nicely. I strongly recommend it to everyone who loves sci-fi, romance and drama. ten out of ten. Its about a normal American teenage girl who is one day shot. A boy from her school (who is an alien) heels her with his powers. Later when she is suspicious and will not let the subject drop he tells her about himself, his sister and their friend being aliens but that is all they know. Throughout the series they try find out who they are and where they came from as well as trying to hide their secret from friend and foe alike.
