Hello there my adorable little faces. I hope you have an awesome day! Today I wanna talk to you about CW’s “Roswell, New Mexico”. It’s a reboot of the original series “Roswell”, back on 1999. I haven’t watched the original but I do watch this one and let me tell that it’s perfect! ( Fun fact: It’s based on real-life events… if you believe in Aliens. )
The story.
On July 8th in 1947 a UFO fell on Earth and more specific, on a small town in New Mexico called Roswell. Years ago, three naked kids arrived in town with no one have any clue who those kids are. Max Evans ( Nathan Parsons ) and his siblings Michael ( Michael Vlamis ) and Isobel ( Lily Cowles ) grown up in the town like normal kids but… they are not. You see, those three were on the spaceship that fell in ’47 so… they are Aliens. Of course, no one knows that ’cause they would probably end up in a lab.
The things became more complicated when Max told them that he wants to tell everything to his best friend, and love of his life, Liz Ortecho ( Jeanine Mason ). His plans changed though when a tragic accident happened and Liz’s sister Rosa ( Amber Midthunder ) and three other girls died. Εveryone blamed Rosa and Liz, heartbroken from her sister’s loss, left town… and returned 10 years later when our story actually begins.
My thoughts and some “mini” spoilers.
FIRST OF ALL… This show has some of the greatest characters developments that I have ever seen and we are only on the 5th episode. One example is the high school bully ( and Liz’s ex-boyfriend ) Kyle Valenti ( Michael Trevino ).
The ships are of course there as well. Liz x Kyle and Liz and Max are the main ones, but no one can pass the chemistry that Michael has with his high school boyfriend Alex Manes ( Tyler Blackburn ) and how hot the two of them are ( we call them #Malex btw ). Isobel and her husband Noah Bracken ( Karan Oberoi ) are way too cute together as well if you ask me. And of course, we have Max’s co-worker ( and f*ck buddy ) Jenna Cameron ( Riley Voelkel ) who probably believes that they can have something more… Not to be a bitch here honey but Liz is back, so…
The series is not only its ships though. It gives us great friendships as well, as Alex and Kyle ( bff ) and family unconditional love.
It has also awesome Alien context and some characters that you’ll love to hate ( ya know, the villains ). Plus, in every episode, we learn something for our characters, or their families, that make us be more than impatient for the next episodes. Secret relationships, affairs, people who couldn’t imagine it knowing about the Aliens and more that they’ll make you wanna never stop watching it.
I hope to love it as much as I love this show if you decide to give it a chance. Now, if you already watch it…
