Movie Reviews of Roswell - Seasons 1-3
Movie Review: I'll NEVER get tired of this show!
Summary: 5 Stars
ever since it first aired on the wb i have been a fan of roswell, something about it is just fascinating. the first few episodes of the series are kind of slow going but its really to get you to understand whats going on. i watched this show grow throughout the 3 seasons it was alive and was sad to see it end. ALL the actors have this amazing chemistry together, you actually start believing the characters and forming this "bond" with them even though theyre just characters on a tv show. the first season deals more with max saving Liz's life and this connection & attraction between them, its really mostly about their love story (outcast alien boy with special powers saves crushs life and they fall in love but it comes with a price) the second season (the one i happen to like the most) deals more with the sci-fi aspect and theres alot going on and you really have to pay attention because there are alot of little things that lead up to a crazy season finale and you dont even pay much attention to those details and once they all come together in the season finale you are like "OMG I CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT SEE THAT!" there is also a very hugggeeee drift between max & liz and basically the aliens & humans in general all because of a very sad & important moment in the show. you start realizing that not everyone is who you thought they were...someone has a secret that has a HUGE impact on all their lives. third season deals with a bit of both, love & sci-fi and although its not my favorite season (its the one i like the least out of the 3) it is still pretty good. liz and max get a little reckless and hit some road bumps not only in their relationship but between them and their parents... this is the season i really get mad at max's parents, they drive me nuts but in the end it ends up being for the better. an enemy returns unexpectedly, liz has been going through some MAJOR changes and liz and the aliens are being hunted...
i really didnt want to get into too much detail because anyone who has seen the show knows all there is to know and those who havnt i dont want to spoil it for you but all in all this is a purchase worth going through with. ive gotten countless friends hooked on this show and had them end up buying all the seasons themselves too! take a chance on a great show with fantastic acting and believable characters. this show will always be one of my top 3 favorite shows of all time (veronica mars & supernatural being the other 2)
Movie Review: Flawed but excellent series..well worth owning
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't get this full set, but the individual seasons in box set, since I never saw the show on TV, and was originally sceptical about whether it would be worth getting; got Season 1 to see what it was about. By the end of the first show I was hooked; as others have said, Season 1 was the best due to the depth and reality of the character interactions, with enough action/sf to keep things moving. Without putting in any spoilers, there were episodes in the later seasons that weren't worthy of the total effort, the "off world" story was weak (like Flash Gordon, say) and there were major "out of character" moments, and some excessive revisiting of previous angst..and boy, there was a lot of angst. As I remember being a teenager, they did a good job of recreating that age.. idealism greater than adulthood, more sweetness, less selfishness, more awkwardness, etc. Unusually for a TV series, you really get involved with the 3 dimensional characters, and much of the plot seems true to real life. As others have also said, that's what makes the brain-farts on the part of the writers more irritating when they occur. In spite of the flaws, some sloppy (Michael forgetting Max's name late in Season 1; using California foothill landscape for New Mexico, etc.) and some deeper as mentioned above, the whole series hangs together and preserves its punch right through to end, which is generally satisfying. Life is tough; it's bitter sweet but it beats the heck out of the alternative. If you like the premise of "alien" teenagers and an in-depth exploration of the combination of romance/melodrama/s-f I would highly recommend this series. It handled all the elements imaginatively and almost always kept me caring about the characters. Not perfect but up there with Stargate, Dark Angel, etc. and better in terms of the deeper exploration of human interaction. That said, this is much less action/adventure oriented than Stargate etc. so if you want heavy plot driven action show this isn't what you're after.
Buy it and enjoy the emotional rollercoaster and inventive sidelights. You keep thinking it's about to slide away down a rathole but it never does.
Movie Review: Roswell - The Complete Series Seasons 1, 2, & 3 are a must own!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first became familier with Roswell after purchasing the first season DVD set early last year. Since then I have became one of the shows biggest fans. I was a bit concerned that the second and third seasons would not be as good as the first, but to my surprise they are just as good if not better. Roswell is still one of my favorite TV shows. Season 1 deals more with the relationship/love story between Max and Liz. The second season deals more with the sc-fi aspect while the love story takes a backseat. The third and final season has the best of both the love story and sci-fi story. I have to say I have never cared much for sci-fi series but Roswell is so much more than just that. Like the wonderful first and second season, the third season still takes you on a emotional journey. As you go through each episode you still find yourself growing more and more attached to the characters as they go on their own emotional journey and self discovery. The sad thing is with the final season the characters are not always hanging out together at the crash down cafe. They are doing their own things which is a bit hard for me because I was so accustomed to them being together, but it was just part of there characters growing up. It was so hard to see the last season of Roswell come to an end. I have discovered one of the best shows with Roswell and highly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys a great tv show that will inspire and get them addicted!
Movie Review: Great show, wish it lasted longer!

I never really watched the series when it was on tv, I had seen it on, but I didnt like watching shows that I didnt watch from the start, especially shows like these where theres so many questions. About a month ago I went onto[...]where I noticed they actually had the entire first season of Roswell on the site, I started watching and imediately was addicted, I ended up watching the whole first season in only a few days and once I watched all the episodes on Hulu I knew I had to buy the rest. I noticed people saying they thought the main actors didnt do very good and that they could have found better actors, but I think if anyone else had played any of the roles in roswell it wouldnt have been the awesome show that it is. The series really keeps you wondering whats going to happen and how all the relationships are going to develop. I thought I would be disapointed with the ending due to the fact that I was so addicted and thought there could have been at least another season, and that no ending would be good enough this soon, but I was pleasently suprised, It was a really great happy ending. I would definatly recommend people to buy the dvds and watch the show! two thumbs up from me!!Movie Review: A nice product to buy...

Hi All,
This is Absar from India. I recently purchased the Roswell season 1-3 set DVDs... I saw this serial for the 1st time probably 6 yrs ago on TV. I was firstly really watching it for Apple Shirby, she has one of the cutest faces and voices I know. But I really got engrossed in this serial.. I loved the quiet way with which Max Evans loved Liz. It was so cute.. being a teenager back then I could really relate to the way he felt about her. 1st Season was just mindblowing. I absolutely love the title song from Dido - Here with me. Her voice is just out of this world.
2nd and 3rd season werent exactly brilliant. They changed the theme from a love story to a sci-fi thriller... it was good but not that great. I thought the love story theme worked a lot better for it. I was disappointed that they stopped airing the serial after 3 seasons, I would've love to see that on air for like 5-6 yrs atleast.
Favourite character is Apple Shirby. Katherine Heigl is also very hot - Probably her first major sitcom. If anyone wants to watch this - I would recommend the 1st season... But you would never feel complete unless u watch season 2 and 3.
