What do you think? Are you a fan of the original Roswell series? Will you watch the reboot?
Horrible show. Gau sec nasty. Never watch again.
I loved the original series of Roswell. I loved everyone in it, not to mentions the chemistry between everyone. I also think there was so much to continue which would have enabled more seasons. I have been watching the new series, I liked it but after watching the original one, I have to admit I was very disappointed in the directions they went. It would have been nice to keep the story line going from the original.
I only wanted to watch this as an alternative to the CBS show FBI. Just am getting tired of the same old plot with a twist. Good guy always wins and you can predict it coming so the show goes on week after week. Roswell is not always going where you expect it to. I never watched the first one, but this show seems to be well thought out. The characters are believable and fit their parts. I hope the CW gives this show time to evolve and give it a chance at another season. At least make enough shows… Read more »
I was looking forward to watching the new series..never watched the old one. I had to turn it off..too much sex ..I can handle romance. But for family values putting this show on at a early hour and displaying way too much ..and adding the guy/guy sex scenes.. I didn’t see any warnings..graphic this or that…What two consenting adults do in privacy on own home is their business…Must sex be put on these new series…gad you had good story plot. Anyways, will NOT be watching any further shows along with quite a lot of people in this area from what… Read more »
I love this new programming shows please keep renewing roswell tv series for many seasons
Heck yeah I loved the original and heck yeah I’ll be watching the remake!!! Can’t wait!!!
I loved the original but I don’t see how this can be rebooted because the reason this show was so good was because of the chemistry between max and liz and maria and michael. Max and Liz were one of the best on screen romances and are on my top 10 list of tv couples. I don’t think any people put in that role could do their chemistry justice therefore I am not going to watch it. I thought roswell should have gone on for way more seasons but without the original cast, I am not interested.
I Love the original show and will probably give the reboot a try …… but why focus around an
illegal alien and turn the show into something political? Why not keep it fun like the original?
I also loved the original. Was excited to watch the remake but was MAJORLY TURNED OFF hearing a barage of political statements in the first 10 minutes! That’s it for me. Am SICK of hearing everyone’s opinions & having them shoved down my throat! If I WANTED politics, I’d turn on the NEWS. TV is supposed to be an escape!!!!
Huge fan of the original, and if I can’t have the original cast then I will certainly watch the reboot to see it the chemistry between the cast is just as compelling. I found myself intellectually and emotionally invested in the happiness and futures of the original characters. I think they will be a hard act to follow but certainly hope the new series can.
I loved the original series and look forward to this reboot. Hope it is as good as the original, but it will need some fresh angles to maintain interest.
I will watch Roswell
