Movie Reviews of Roswell - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Most Engaging TV I've Ever Watched
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought Roswell after seeing a couple scenes of Liz and Max on a YouTube Montage of Romantic TV Shows. I then went straight to Amazon and read all the reviews I could find on the series. Not ONE negative one to be seen! So I ordered Season One right then and there.
One Month Later I now have all 3 Season's in my possession and I have watched NOTHING but Roswell since the day the First Season arrived!!
Right from the Pilot I was completely hooked. The characters are fantastic and it's wonderful how they evolve through the 3 Seasons. The relationships between the characters are SO genuine and believable and I was drawn into the emotional turmoil immediately. I know the show is Science Fiction, but its not all consumming doesn't descend into the pit of unintellegible mumbo jumbo or get to lost in it.
I LOVE Max and Liz's intense love for each other. No matter what they do they just can't run away from it. Perfectly matched couple.
Michael and Maria have a totally different relationship, but nontheless intense.
As for Isobel, I wasn't sure I even liked her at first, but her character really grows on you and you begin to understand why she is as she is.
As for Jim & Kyle Valenti, this in one father and son duo that by the end of the show I was in love with. Excellent characters and I just wanted to hug poor Kyle sometimes.
This series has it all; Drama, Romance, Mystery, Suspense, and a very generous dose of Comedy!
My conclusion? BUY THIS SERIES!! I have started lending it out to all my friends and they have all been just as estatic as me over it. Absolataly worth EVERY penny!
Summary of Roswell - The Complete First Season
Opening with a Dido theme song and featuring character-driven, sweet-natured melodrama, Roswell was a show with a surprisingly dedicated fandom, who twice won it reprieve from cancellation. One of its main strengths was, of course, the extent to which its premise--alien teenagers trying to sort out their identities while emotionally involved with their human contemporaries--was a free-floating metaphor for race and sexuality issues. Another was the strong ensemble that its cast developed: you believed in the strangeness of the alien trio and the well-intentioned normality of their three human friends. Jason Behr gave the alien Max a quiet authority and Majendra Delfino took the sidekick role of Maria and gave it both intensity and fine comic timing. It was also a show in which you were never sure which adults you could trust--William Sadleir trod a fine line of ambiguity as the local sheriff and Julie Benz was silkily sinister as an FBI agent. Anyone who ever loved this show will want these DVDs--and many others may want to find out what the fuss was about.
Roswell is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. The special features include commentaries on six episodes by writer Jason Katims, the directors, and various cast members as well as a featurette on the making of the show and another on its adaptation from the original Roswell High series of young adult novels. The commentaries are unusually insightful on the casting process, and the discs also include the auditions for the part of Tess as well as a deleted scene and a music video. --Roz Kaveney
