Roswell, New Mexico

Firstly I loved the original series and it still rates as my fav all time tv show. Sure the New Pilot lacked in comparison to 1999 but I really liked it and can see so much potential with a different slant on the original story. I'm sad that many original fans have given it so much hate with 1/10 ratings. Its really better than that.. Those are emotional votes and I kind of get the loyalty to the original, but lets give it a chance.. I see Shiri Appleby is directing an episode.. If its good enough for Shiri to give her time and support, I hope original Roswell fans will as well.

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.

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.
