90's Roswell fan!!
What made Roswell so amazing was the duality between the sweet innocence of both protagonists and their incredible sexual chemistry. Not easy to replicate.
I think Liz and Max are the one thing that's working for the reboot. They do have a lot of chemistry. Everything else is pretty bad - I dislike the new Isobel, I actually don't mind the new Michael but the whole gay thing is just tiresome, mostly because I know people are going to make a huge deal out of it and it'll become a whole political crusade, and because it's the CW, they'll milk that for all its worth and then sacrifice the story in order to please self-righteous fans.
Sam Serrao I agree so much, I’m a lgbt supporter but sometimes it gets too much.
And I don't mind Isobel. Did you like Katherine Hiegl? I'm rewatching the pilot now, and it doesn't seem like she even wanted to be there much. Idk. This Isobel has a lot of emotion for her character. That's the one thing the original cast lacks - emotions lol. Maybe it's cuz they're young teens in the first one, and it's the 90s, but this new cast tones it up a few notches with their emotions
@@johnjungkook2721 I didn't like the new Isabel in the first season, LOVED her in season 2. And there's a reason why her character changes a lot between the seasons. Liz and Max have great chemistry, I love Michael and Alex as well, sorry that you think it's tiresome to see gay and bisexual people on TV but they do exist so why not give them a love story.
Shiri hasn’t aged a day over 20 years...she looks great!
Erm,, well she looks like she could do with a few nights of good sleep. Skin is nice tho
@@JP0411 she's a 40 year old woman. she's allowed to age.
@@hellothanksforbeinghere they're not saying she looks bad, but you can clearly see shes exhausted. You can be 20 and look exhausted.. it's the expression the eyes give
I rather the make an ending to the old Roswell. With the old actors. To see Max and Liz together with a family
👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Jason e Shiri ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
A good storyline would be about max and liz's hybrid alien child , along with Isabel's and Michael and marias . And the plot could be alien hunters return to Roswell or something like that .
Yes with Zan
Can we take a moment to appreciate that Shiri Appleby is 40 years old in this interview? Age has had almost no effect on her. Original Liz all the way. Thank you Shiri Appleby for playing your role so well.
Definitely has not aged. Timeless beauty. Loved Max and Liz 😍
I toootally agree but you know ...i have been thinking about her "case"(looool. Her case.).Few years ago( or a bit more, like 10 years...w/her show, being a mom in the show! An adult omg, not Liz, way stronger woman...&another show,as a guest star.) I thought she looked totally older....more of a serious face... way less radiance& innocence. I was almost sad ..She was still beautiful okay🥰..I love her...but not as "luminous"as LATER in life(in Christmas movies, interviews...omg what a BEAUTY. And "pure").sorry to judge, as a girl...But i actually think THIS could give every girl who read my comm. some hope! We can change. maybe she got very happy in life and got a "glow"out of it. Or took really great care of her skin AFTER that. peeling idk... doesn't even have to be cosmetic procedures, cause some serums/acids( glycolic/lactic) change your skin...crazy .10 years off your skin🤪 haha.XOXO love her& how she respects the new show& how nice she is.
The original is and will always be the best.
I recently binged watched the 90s show and the new series. The new one does a lot of interesting things, but the 90s show is miles better. ♡👽
Nothing can compare to the original Roswell. It was the BEST ❤
👍👍👍👍👍
for my original roswell it will always be better ... My favorite series from my youth ... I'm not interested in that new adaptation.
thank you
100% true. 90's Roswell was the best
It won’t compare to the original
George Schirra definitely
The show will not be like the original one. They have jumped 10 after graduation when the first one max and liz got married in the end
But it does seem like it’ll be a good reboot...definitely a better reboot than the charmed reboot
They're not trying to compare it to the 90s TV adaptation. They are making a new interpretation of the original book series.
@BeyondEnchantment a same story, but most reboots dont completely hold true to the original. actually, originally liz's last name was ortecho but they changed it to parker in the first series... now they're going back to that in this one..
Does anyone remember “The End of the World” episode? That was twenty years later. They could have rebooted it from that time frame and introduced their children, from the original cast. Just saying.
Yeahhh I agree, could have done a lot with this.
I agree ,don't get why want redo something that was good begin with.could understand if acting wasn't good first time round but that wasn't case.they done same with new charmed reboot could have carried it on with children
Same could have been said for charmed. They ended with the kids taking over. Could have gotten the original children back (wyatt and chris) and done it like that.
@@Mhaga81 omg yes. The new charmed is horrible.
Sara J I’m scared to watch the new Charmed it looks so bad
There will never be another Liz or Max or Maria or Michael or Isabel or Alex. Ever. We wanted a reunion not a reboot for crying out loud. 😂😭
Morgan King agreed!!!
👏👏
I watched this show before the old Roswell.... all I got to say is the old ROSWELL hands down is super good loved every minute of it.. broke my heart when Alex died omg .. then the end MAX and Liz got married ❤️ I need more of the old Roswell
No because now micheal is kissing Alex..lol
Too bad
Sorry, Shiri, but you're the only Liz. You were too good. I have all the seasons and actually just finished watching them again. I never liked the ending with Max giving up his son, but this reboot takes some of the old and mixes it with new and that's too much. What about Alex? What about Tess? What about Topolsky? They died. Let it be...
Alex is in the reboot, but as Alex Manes who plays the love interest of Michael Guerin, instead of Maria (sort of lol - it's sort of a love triangle cuz Michael is "bisexual"...so he says lol)
Tess was only in the OG show, she was never in the books. (The new show has done a couple of shout outs to Tess, they have said she won't appear in this series.) Pretty sure Alex didn't die in the books, and he's given much more storyline and is much more compelling in the new show IMO. I'm glad they've put their own spin on it, it would be worse if they were remaking it exactly the same as the original. There wouldn't be any point at all in that.
I binged the original series for perspective before starting the new show. From the very first moment of the very first episode of the original, it was completely on point. Great dialogue. Great storytelling. Great acting. Great direction. This is one of those shows that got canceled way too early and for no apparent reason (like FireFly).
First impression of the new show is that it's just not as good as the original. Not by a longshot. Like I said above, in the original, it hooks you immediately and keeps you hooked. The new show takes a while to get warmed up. A huge problem with that is that all the way through they're basically face-banging you with SJW rhetoric, which really detracts from the show and pulls you out of the moment. There you are, trying to get into the show, and all the sudden you feel like you're sitting in a lecture at Berkley, and you're like "wait, is that what this show is about? I thought it was an alien romance?!" Don't get me wrong. I'm as liberal as the next guy. Equal rights, open borders, all that stuff ... but, damn, can I PLEASE just watch a show without getting preached at every 15 seconds? Can we do that? Please?! There is a way to incorporate that message into the show organically so that it doesn't turn the show into the message, but apparently, these writers don't know how to do it.
Another problem I have with the new show is that all of the characters are essentially unlikable. Liz and Max are the least unlikable, which is good because it's basically their show ... but come on. The audience needs to be able to root for someone, and everyone is just miserable all the time. Long story short, they would have been WAY better off just bringing back the original cast and doing a continuation show where now the old characters have teens of their own. This would have been so good because we could continue the theme of teenage aliens trying to fit in and survive without revealing their secret, and you'd also have parent aliens now risking everything to keep their family safe from government agents and the threat of the pending invasion that they had looming over them at the end of the original show. This is SO MUCH more interesting than what they have going on in the new show! Now that I think about it I'm starting to get pissed off. I REALLY want to see my vision of the pickup show!
the early 2K's were rough years for good sci-fi. We lost Firefly, Farscape, and Roswell.
All three shows had some seriously well presented stories, ensembles, and directing.
They covered the dynamics of coming of age (Roswell), relationships, actions and life altering consequences, character development, plot twists. Even killing off characters which drove home the point of the danger being real.
These are things the Star Trek never really dealt with. I guess mainly because of their episodic nature of writing.
Maybe this reboot would've been better had they given it a different name, ditch the original series visual cues, such as the Crashdown Cafe, and never called it a reboot.
Now for the conservatives whining about the "political agenda", Hollywood's ONLY agendas are establishing a viewer to make money off of.
The original series was already a remake of a book series, and there are elements of Roswell NM that are closer to the books than this - Liz being Mexican-American, etc. Neither version of Max looks anything like he's described in the books, same goes for Alex, Kyle in the books was an irredeemable a-hole, the fourth alien was not Tess it was a kid called Adam who'd been captured by Sheriff Valenti and held captive in a lab his whole life.... so if we're comparing to source material, both shows are about even.
I'm not going to touch on the SJW stuff except to say that politics are real life and if you're in a position where you can ignore the realities of deportations and LGBTQ+ issues then that's great for you but that's not real life as many people know it.
The only character I found unlikeable in the first season was Isabel but I loved her in season 2. Personally I would've cared far less about a reunion show with the OG cast, plus they'd never have got Katherine Heigl to come back for it. If you want to see Jason Behr, watch season 2. He is a recurring guest star.
"I can show you, but I need to touch you." --"OK!!" Haha
Haha, you left off her reply, "I don't mind. Do anything you want."
I tried watching the new reboot and 10 mins in I was ready to change the channel, but waited another 10 mins before I turned it off. I don’t like it. The original Roswell was my absolute favorite and I binge watched that so many times. Not a fan of the new Roswell reboot!!
Original Liz directing the new Liz... torch has been passed
Ready for change & otherness 👽
Really cool that Shiri Appleby is directing on this remake. Hopefully that becomes a regular thing.
She has directed episode 9 of season 1 and episode 6 of season 2 so far, and Jason Behr has guest starred in several episodes in season 2 :)
first thing first Original Roswell show was good one i had all three season of Roswell. In 90s
I'm too young to remember the original, but I think it's cool that Shiri Appleby got to be a part of the reboot in some way since she was in the original.
Watch the original. It was my favorite show at the time. Jason Katims knew how to write a show.
I've never seen the original either. Just finished watching the reboot, though. It's great.
AnnaLynn994 Watch the original, it’s 10 times better, believe us. The new one sucks.
90s Roswell was a hit! And it gave a different mysterious cool kind of a vibe which the new generation will never be able to remake. Shiri Appleby's Liz Parker is the best! And the mysterious look of Jason Behr's Max Evans and his cool voice along with his calmness, just wow! they will always be the legends!
I just found out about Roswell New Mexico but haven't watch it yet just read what was on Wikipedia. I was hoping it would continue where it left off on the old Roswell, with Max and Liz married and the rest of the gang had to go in hiding. Max still has a son somewhere on Earth. Would be great to know how his son is doing.
I was watching the first episode and was ready to turn it off until Isabel, said she erased Liz's memory of the past...Thats when I because excited to watch more. How fantastic this story would have been if after they married.. Isabel erased all their memories to keep them safe along with anyone who knew in Roswell, which caused them 10 years later to live normal lives but here comes liz back in their lives and slowly she starts seeing flashes of her past. 😍😱
I'll stick with the original, thanks...
I said the same thing. But during this covid self-quarantine, I said fuck it, and gave it a chance, without comparing it with the original, and I really enjoy it. I mean, it has its faults (it is still CW after all), but the new Max, Liz, Michael and Isobel have a really good connection. Honestly, more so than original one. Didn't feel like the actors even wanted to be there in the original one
It’s really good!! I grow up with the first Roswell and I have seen it so many times because it was such a good show .. but this show is so good .
Same
Give it a chance. If you have free time which you should have more of due to Covid-19...watch it. It is better in some ways but the original will always be the heart and soul.
Same
Loved the original Roswell series so I was excited to watch a reboot and partake in the lives of characters that loved each other so fiercely that they risked their reputations, futures, safety - everything - for one another. A modern telling of The Three Musketeers - all for one, and one for all - Romeo and Juliet, et cetera... Those are the stories people (well okay, me) long to watch, read, and experience in life. Relationships that make us feel alive, irrational love which makes our hearts soar, sacrifice that imprints itself on our soul.
Hollywood story tellers can see nothing else in the Roswell High legend/saga but immigration and the need to tell viewers what they should think and feel? Really? As a two time Obama voter, B. Sanders (primary) & HC voter I feel the plight of immigrants - legal, undocumented, and illegal or whatever buzz word we want to apply to these real, beautiful and precious people. But if you are going to bring up immigration, at least make it smart and thought provoking. Honestly discuss the benefits of sanctuary cities - and their very real dangers. Talk about the essential nature of checkpoints which every country in the world have - why are they scary, and why are they necessary! Write well and let us decide!
I was hoping this first episode would lay the ground work for deep friendships that I could once again invest my time, mind and hopefully my heart in. After watching the pilot I conclude that apparently none of those things are important to this writing team. I want to be wowed by story... inspired to risk love, and to care more deeply - the human heart and all it's longings! Another missed opportunity by Hollywood that is consumed with hatred for anything that doesn't sound, speak, look, or think just like they do. So very sad for us! Please please please write stories that bring us together and remind us how truly easy it can be to befriend, care for, and hopefully even love someone who doesn't share our perspectives, views or experiences!
...so great to see Liz Parker (Shiri) directing - what a great character she was!
Immigration is a small part of the story, it's just another way that people feel alienated in their country. The friendships do take a while to kick off in this show but by season 2 everyone is hanging out and getting along so well. The friendships in this show are so funny and fun to watch.
This was such a good episode!! Everyone needs to watch this show! I was a fan of the original and I think this show is sooo good! It’s different, which makes it great because it’s it’s own thing!
The old Liz was so much hotter then the new Liz. Hell she still is.
no
This is so insane man😫.Why they remaking?.They shld gather all original cast and make a new episodes..All of them looking so good still.Nothing cn replace the original cast 💕
The reboot pilot had a lot of potential, excited to see where it goes! I loved the original and I'm glad Shiri is on board with it!
It's a new generation and if you don't enjoy it nothing stopping you from rewatching the original series!
Exactly!
OG Roswell Forever!!!
Didn’t get to watch the Original Roswell since I was born when it passed. I love how they combine some parts of the Original show to the reboot. ❤️💚👽😍
You do know that you can watch tv shows that was made before you where born right ?.
It look really bad, they should've just did a sequel series called "Beyond Roswell" or "After Roswell" or whatever but not a crappy reboot. There was so much they could do with continuing the series. Max & liz got married at the end of the original & they could be older with kids. They never really completed the story with the Skins in the orig so they could be back only there could be a kind of war between them & a new Skin baddy. Max had a kid with Tess that they adopted out who was "fully human" & they could've done something with him like when he became 16 or whatever ages his latent undetectable alien abilities start to manifest. They could bring Tess back even though she died her good clone didn't & the evil clones of the other 3 did die so the 4 could be all back together again running around slaying Skins. Isabel could go back to Roswell & reunite with her husband because she could've been pregant when they left, Micheal & Maria could also have kids & so there's the old generation from the orig series teaching the new generation about their powers & how to fight the skins & it could be a kind of batton pass from the old to the new. This is all just off the top of my head there was heaps they could have done in a sequel series that the old series left open for more story about, we never got to see there home planet & we know with there tech it doesn't take that long to get there & back because Tess went there end of season 1 & returned in season 2 which was a few months min so they could take us there for a few eps so we can see what they looked like as aliens & not hybrid alien/humans. Such a shame everyone is trying to reboot every good series instead of continuing the story & leaving the old series the way it was.
DOPE ideas, I had some of the same thoughts.
Me and a friend of mine were saying the same thing when first got the skinny on the reboot.

@@chubbyninja842 couldn't agree more
Ooh i don't know about this...
(Also, can we stop making reboots and think of something original, please?)
Exactly! I think this alot.
ummmm sorry no. this new one doesnt work for me.
Nope. I have no desire to watch this, just like I have no desire to watch the Charmed remake. Why do they have to keep doing remakes? Can't they come up with any original ideas? I enjoy my 90's nostalgia as much as the next person, and I will admit to enjoying sequel reboots like Fuller House, Girl Meets World, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life...but that is because those shows don't change the original series and i can watch the characters I loved when I was younger. Not reboots like this. Jason Behr will always be the true Max Evans, and the same for the rest of the original cast.
They are actually pretty good reboot. Roswell is really nice and Charmed is funny as hell ! Accept that things changed, its life. And when reboot come some are bad, some are good. But bad or good won't changed the way you see or love the old one. They certainly won't change mine. We grow up with them, they will be special for us forever. But the new one are here, and actually pretty good, why ignore something good for no reason ? Nostalgia will be always there you know, with the old one, they soundtracks and the cast. You should try them.
I actually like this one. Its is pretty good so far. The charmed reboot doesn't nearly compare to the original but it is decent.. Gilmore Girls isnt really a reboot cause it basically just skipped ahead 10years with all the same people.
I agree a lot of remakes are not good. But how can you say a show sucks if you never watched it? Is beyond me.
If you're not going to be watching the reboots then fine but why bother commenting on not watching them to begin, you dummy.
@@eriksnation231 Just expressing my opinion, don't be so sensitive, I'm sorry if i upset your delicate sensibilities. There's no reason to resort to childish name-calling.
Can't bear the remake. I stick with the original. Liz & Max love was innocent and pure. And WTF Michael has to be gay? Why? Can't someone else fill that spot?
I'm glad I grew up with the original. Loved it to pieces. Still watch it when I feel sad or nostalgic.
The original was a classic. Some of the best episodes of the original were Highway 285, Wipe out, Heat Wave, and Summer of 47.
Michael isn't gay, he's bisexual. He also has a relationship with Maria on this show.
The "New" Roswell and Charned reboot are just aaaaawful! ..Its true when they say certain shows should just remain classics.
I am a dreamer. I watched the first episode just to see. It’s not good. It’s trying to hard to be edgy. It’s missing the soul of the show.
Finally some who got it as well
I'm in full agreement with you.
nativegirl1978 thank you
Swordsquire thank you
Darn it. That doesn't give me a lot of hope. Or motivation to even try watching.
Sorry, I absolutely hated this new Re-do of my beloved Roswell TV show! I could only handle the 1st 7 minutes of this Roswell "reboot"! In those 7 minutes, so many political innuendos were dropped that it just pissed me off! Don't we get bombarded with enough political crap every single day online and in the news??? I just want to unwind and enjoy a darn TV show without getting all riled up over political agendas; like Illegals, immigration, smuggling and a "WALL"! I actually needed to do a "mind-wipe" by watching my original Roswell DVD's again just to get the few nasty minutes of that "reboot" out of my freakin' head and put the good memories back in! New Roswell reboot? So NOT for this girl! (BTW, I'm a Mexican/Irish American and this "reboot" actually seemed offensive to me!)
Totally agree. Watched the pilot and will not watch another.
It is not a "re-do" of your beloved Roswell TV show. It's a new adaptation of the original book series. And Shiri likes it or she wouldn't be directing an episode lol.
clo - regardless it’s still SJW garbage.
@@dixiebelle141 Lol not really? But then again, how would you know if you only watched the first episode 🤔
@Ella Belle Wilson Absolutely! Couldn't agree more!!!
The original roswell was the best show!i have rewatched it a few times over the years. But This revival looks awful I’m sorry but it will not beat the original in my opinion. Should have done new characters and names
Have you watched it? I thought the same, but I ended up really liking it. Especially with a second watch.
Naomi Frye theres a lot wrong with the new Roswell. A lot.
@@Naomiiiii Id like it if it had less politics in it. I personally will stick with the original as well.
Loved the original lost count of how many times I re watched it. Have to say though I am loving this redo it's soooo good. Y'all got me hooked 🤗💖
I love that it’s closer to the book characters
I like the first rosewell too but when i watch roswell new mexico I like it too..
NOT MY FREAKIN ROSEWELL. What the hell!?!? Sigh... I get this is different but why waste money on this instead of continuing or doing a spin off with original cast or like what Gilmore girls did. Idk y’all.... my soul hurts. I was so stoked because I thought it was gonna be original cast I.. just can’t q_q
They are going back to the books
For starters, Shiri is directing now and many of the other cast members have moved on to other projects in their carrer. This is aligned with the books. But I get what you are saying. I am going to give it a try.
@BeyondEnchantment Apparently you haven't watched the interviews with cast members who support this show. They have moved on with their lives past their time on Roswell and it is completely normal not to want to come back on a show they started on as they have grown and moved on to other projects. Shiri is directing which is what she was willing to do as it shows her growth in the industry. The character Liz in the book was not a Caucasian female which is what I meant by going back to the books. Its a TV show, if you don't want to watch the reboot don't watch it, who really cares.
I totally hated this reboot! I wish good shows would NOT get a reboot that usually ruins them!
The Gilmore Girls 10 years later was terrible.
I loving the remake. It is so different from the Original and that is one reason I love it so much. So excited to see rest of the episodes and I hope it gets renewed.
Bot
I loved it too! Season 2 was even better than the first, can't wait for season 3 :) It has its flaws but the chemistry between the cast is great, relationships and friendships alike. Everyone has really grown on me so much, it's such a fun show. It's the first show in ages that I've gone back to the start after I finished watching it just to watch it all over again. It did take me a little while to get into it but after 1x06 I was hooked!
Should've done this ten years ago with the original cast, but whatever. At least they're bringing it back, kinda.
Mark Sinderson I think they can do now twenty years later with the original cast. Remember the episode “End of the World”. They could have started it from there.
I’m actually streaming the original series currently ha. Wanted to watch it all again.
@@montrealbond4753 Are all of the original cast still working?
This reboot is agenda driven garbage just like a couple other recent reboots I can think of. Cobra kai is a reboot worth watching.
After watching the first two episodes I can certainly say that I'm not a fan. The characters are nothing like the ones that I fell in love with after reading the books and watching the original Roswell. This re-make feels rushed and the characters don't have the innocence and vulnerability that I fell in love with. With that being said I wish them luck with this new venture.
I’m kinda glad I never watched the original Roswell because I love Roswell New Mexico and I feel like it would’ve ruined it for me. I always hate remakes of a show or book, but one of the things I can appreciate is when the remakes aren’t afraid to change things. But as for the original Roswell, I wish I could watch it now, but that’s like reading the Shadowhunters books before watching the tv show, because I won’t have a clear opinion on the one I experienced after the other, I’ll just automatically dislike it.
Long story short, I just quickly want to say that either way, whichever one you watched first, the other one will look bad if you truly liked the first. I hope the fanbase of Roswell and the fanbase of Roswell New Mexico won’t start fights, because everyone had a different introduction to the story.
You need to watch the original it’s way better by all means. It’s currently on Hulu
Well said! I watched the original back in the day, then read the books (I still have all but one of them). The books are great, in places I think they're better than the OG show. The OG show was great, it did some stuff so well and the first couple of seasons were awesome (season 3 was a train wreck). The new show is fantastic, it took me a little while to get into it but I love the new cast and their original takes on each character. They're older, they're more complex, it's a lot of fun.
The original is wayyy better than the new show .
Not roswell... just anothers bs remake
Just wtch the show man I was kindda hyped until min 2 or 3 then it all felt like threyre tryin so hard. Its like from a diffeerent dimension (a crappy one). So after the dissapointment I bought all the 3 season from the old series :D. Hope they lauch aBlueray edition or something like that someday soon :V.
I didnt know she was directing! I hate watched the pilot of the reboot to see how theyd mess it up but i actually love it. It will never compare to the original in my mind, but it is really good.
Am I the only one who likes both versions of Roswell? Sure, they both have there own strengths and weaknesses, but why does it have to be one or the other?
I never watched the original until after I saw the first episode of the reboot, then I went out and read the books the shows are based on. I'm glad they made the reboot because I probably wouldn't have otherwise.
I like all versions as well, books, OG and this one. They're all different which is great, because otherwise I'd have been told the exact same story three times and what would be the point in that? They all start at the same place but they all go in different directions and it's super fun to get the little callbacks to the original show while this one goes its own way, with a much more diverse cast as well.
The fact that Shiri is directing might make me watch this.
I actually liked the first 2 seasons of Roswell. This new one doesn't look good at all.
And being a lot more PC god I hate when The CW does this
I think it's cool to see the Roswell book series come to life. I absolutely LOVED the 90's OG Roswell and always will but it didn't really run well with the books. The new Roswell TV Show is actually based on the books. :)
I don't think it's that much closer to the books (but I haven't read them in years). They're both great adaptations, doing their own thing with the source material. I love the new version too!
i think the original had better story lines, and definitely better chemistry between the actors
I was a fan of the original before watching the remake and I know a lot of the fans of OG aren't big on the new one but I love them both so much! I rewatched the original after watching the latest season of Roswell NM and tbh I'm not sure which I like more- they are both so good
although I will say-- I like Shiri's version of Liz a lot more than the new one. I love that they made the new Liz fiery and independent but she's also kinda self-involved to the point of not being likable. Her not understanding why Max would torch her lab for his own protection made me really frustrated with her-- she had NO concern over keeping his secret and then held the fact that he did it over his head instead of looking at his point of view.
Most of the comments are just people saying they're not gonna watch the new Roswell or that they watched a whooping 15 minutes and decided the show was trash. I LOVE the new Roswell. I am a HUGE HUGE fan of the OG (Max Evans was a major character in my 13 year old fantasies at the time LOL) but this new one brings a different perspective to the table. I love the diversity in characters (not just race but sexuality) and I love that they kept some of the OG aspects of the show but made the characters older and closer to my age. I'm a fan! Hope it get's renewed for another season :)
Same! I love the new show and its different take on the source material. I was a big fan of the OG show but I like this one better for me now. It's growing with me and telling new and more diverse stories and I love it for that. I've watched a bunch of new shows this year and this is the first one that I've immediately gone back to the start and rewatched after binging both seasons!
I love the original but I think I'm going to love the new spin. Glad she's directing it. Good 4 u.
Love love love the reboot!!
she's directing it!?
woah!
These kinds of interviews are so stupid. Of course most people are going to say that they love it, they are thrilled, etcetera. If Shiri thinks it sucks and hates the idea, does anyone honestly think she is going to say so? LOL. She plans to continue working.
Absolutely true! Does anybody ever say anything negative about another show or movie or actor? Yes, there are a few exceptions. If you are in the business, you simply cannot talk about the negative aspects. They do it after they ended their career. Would you and I talk bad about rival companies in public in front of the camera? No, we wouldn't.
If was didn't like it, she wouldn't be directing episodes of the show. She's directed an episode each season and she loves the new take. She also had a reunion with Jason Behr who is in season 2, he loves it too.
I guess I’m the only one who likes the new one too 🤷♀️
I love the new one!
@@joeypotter6051 lol one year later and im not alone lmaooo
To just start the whole thing over is so sad. Why couldn't they just pick it up from where it ended with the original cast being older? Something like Max and Liz with a family and somehow he gets reconnected with his son. Or a chance to go home to dethrone Kivar. Something that keeps the story going.
Roswell, new Mexico reboot is 100% times better than charmed reboot
I freakin knew that this was a reboot/remake of the old Roswell! I remember this show from when I was a kid & then I heard the C.W was creating a show called Roswell, New Mexico & I commented on Tyler Blackburn’s instagram the guy who plays Alex Manes asking if this was a reboot of the one from the 90’s & he liked my comment but never answered back but now I know it is! I was “older” but not old enough to sit up and watch a show that came on at 9 o’clock because it was a school night 😂🤣😂🤣
omg that is so cool I didnt know she directed an episode !
Nothing better than the original one
Happy they rebooted this show and it's up to date with social and political issues love it 💕💕💕
I tried to give the new Roswell a chance, but after 20min. I just could not get into it.. the new max and liz just do not have that connection that even pulled u into it.. Nothing about the new liz is anything like our liz. She was sweet and innocent and just so likable.. Max was so freaking hot at the same time they're was just something about him u could not put into words.. This new max is not cute and i hate his accent... sorry but i just do and it almost makes my skin crawl.. Can't say much about Isabel yet, but i can tell i would not like her.. And since when was Maria another race when she was white and no i am not racist.. I wished they had kept the characters close to the other characters.. And Kyle might got cuter but i did not like the actor from vampires diaries, so i know i wont like him now.. And i guess his dad had a sex change.. And Michael is well not cute atleast the other Michael was more cute then this one.. Since i seen this show when it came out. I washed it more the. Over 200 times and i still watch it .. Just something about the original rosewell that i felt somewhat connected to it, i think cause as a native American i think that's part of it if u can understand why.. Another i was one of the people that helped for years to bring this show back.. And lets say i wish i had not,cause nothing about the new Roswell comes close to how the other Roswell sucked u in just by the first two characters chemistry.. Another they could not help but to also make this show political.. They just have to bring this into a great show.. They did it to Roseanne and they will do it with other new shows and movies.. Watching shows and movies was a place where people could escape all the real life issues and make us forget them for a moment.. Now they use shows and movies to shove it down are thraots.. This is my opinion u don't have to like it, u can move to the next one.. Don't need triggered people taking a baby fit over an opinion.. sorry i gave it a try and i did not like it. So i won't be watching it.. To those that liked it i hope u enjoy it...
I will keep rewatching the other rosewell.. The actress that played liz u still look beautiful and u have not aged much in 20 years. I really wished u was going to be in the show as well as the actor who played Max. I got to meet u all and u all was so sweet and kind. And when they asked if u all would be in a new Roswell show if they was to make it, and u all said yes.. And i see this and how none of u are in it, really did upset me.. But thank you and the other actor's and actresses that gave us so many good memories of the show. And to see my 2 teen girls watch the old rosewell and have the same feeling i had watching it. Its just amazing to see..
I agree 100%, I loved the Original Roswell. In the New one think the Characters don't have Chemistry at all! They changed the show so much it. The original cast was made you love Roswell. I wish it was more Popular, but some people don't understand. It should of had more seasons. And Liz, and Max were so cute together. They should of never made Liz a "sister". And In Roswell New Mexico started in the end of season 2 of the Original with the death of Liz's sister, the reason I think is because their not in High school. (Huge part of the Original Show)
@@marysimon915 I wish they had more seasons as well. But at the time this Rosewell came out, u had buffy the vampire slayer and this other show.. And people was more into those shows at the time. So Roswell waa not getting the views and likes that it should have gotten... Me i hated buffy the vampire slayer, This is just my opinion.. I don't want to upset anyone who liked the 2 shows that ended rosewell.. I think Roswell came out way head of its time.. But i still remember when it first came out.. I was flipping through the channel's and could not find anything good to watch. So i watched this ending of this movie and up next was rosewell.. U thought i would watch it cause nothing else was on.. And i remember about 30min. In it had me hooked. I loved the Chemistry Between Liz and Max. And Maria i just adored her. She was funny corky and one of those friends u wish u had.. Michael had that bad guy kinda attitude that all he cared about was finding out where they came from.. And Isabel had that snobby attitude and did what ever max said cause she loved him and she only had him and Michael.. I just love all the characters in the show and what they brought to the show.. They didn't bring politics or anything like that to the show. I loved that one scene in the show. Where liz shows up at Michael's house and Isabel and Michael leave. And the room was lit up with candles, and max and liz slowly touched one another and gosh max looked so sexy in the scene.. But that intense sexual feelings that was going on between them was a wow.. In all the movies and shows i have seen since the show. Never once did i ever see that kind of intense chemistry between two characters before for. And i don't know uf anyone knew in real life max and Isabel was dating... But this new rosewell upsetted me.. Nothing about it was anything like the real Roswell.. max a cop anx Maria is not white and Michael is gay, bi and the sheriff is a female.. I don't have any issue's with gay people.. But to change so much about each of the characters is what made me dislike lt.. as well as pushing politics and etc. Down are thraots.. It seems they are doing this to othee shows and movie's.. For a lot of people watching something was a way for us to relax and get away from all that.. I can't believe anyone would even watch it. And the fans that did help try and bring this show back. This was not what we asked for.. All these years we did everything to bring back the show. But we did not ask for this and to have politics brought into the show.. They turned this show into just that.. And smaked the fans of the original in the face.. I don't want part of anything that is being shoved down our throats...
I agree with you. I saw this show when I was around 10 and even tho didnt quite understand everythin I still loved it. They shouldve kept Maria as Latina and the others at least closed to the original characters.
nativegirl1978 Micheal is very cute and the fact that you don’t like anybody is very funny
Personally I think the chemistry between the new cast is fantastic, but that's subjective and my own opinion, so we won't argue about that :) I did just want to say that yes they have changed Maria's race to better reflect the diversity that exists in New Mexico; Sheriff Jim Valenti is deceased in this show, he died before the show started and Kyle's mother has taken over as Sheriff; and the actor who plays Alex is part Cherokee and his family are written as Native American, including one who lives on a reservation.
Also Jason Behr who played Max in the original show is a recurring guest star in season 2 of the new show, and hopefully more of the original cast (all of whom have been very supportive and have reached out to the new show runner - except Katherine Heigl) will guest star in future seasons.
I am a HUGE fan of the 90s original. Anytime I'm in a bad mood, I just need to listen to Dido's 'Here with me' and I feel alright again. This show: the politics, gay Michael (but a closet genius), and and Sherriff Valenti is Rosa's dad, and the dead sister. Its not my 90s Roswell, but I am loving the story!!! The Trio are more powerful (or maybe they just had 10 more years to develope it), there is a stronger story to tell, and better character arcs to build on. Sure, I wish we had another version where the original cast got married and had mutant alien kids. This one can stand on its own. I hope we get more of their mythologies, more alien tech and maybe a visual of what they look like as aliens. 😁💝 I look forward to it. Give it a chance.
I loved it when they used a cover of Here With Me in the season 1 finale! I loved this show too, I have the OG show on DVD, all the books (except one because I can't find it) and we even made our own Roswell board game back in the day! The new show takes elements of both the books and original show and does its own thing with it. It's now my favourite version of the story.
I was skeptical when I first heard they were releasing a new one but it was honestly REALLY good and I think they kept close to the original characters in a way that shows where they might really be 10 years after high school and the jobs they might have pursued and what Roswell would be like in modern day
Yeah I'm actually rewatching the orignal series rn and Liz says in the first episode that she actually wants to be a scientist ! Also I could totally see Isabel having a husband and being a stay at home wife and max being the sheriff but Michael would be a little more successful and they completely changed Alex and Maria's characters . Maria had much more significance in the first series and learned the secret in the second episode in the original. They also added in the entire Rosa dynamic .
@@clowneditz602 Rosa is actually from the original books so they added her back in ;) Liz was always into science, that was a bigger deal in the books too, and she was Liz Ortecho in the books. Michael is a troubled genius in this version, the scenes in early season 2 with him and Liz being science bros are so much fun.
How can the cozy small town Crash Down Restaurant now be on a corner? Looks so BIG CITY.
They actually did move the Crash Down Cafe. The one in the original show, which was shot in California, was actually based off the real one which was located in the middle of the block, across the street from the UFO musuem and had a giant flying saucer outside of it. I ate there in 2002. However when I went back in 2009 they had moved it to the corner inside a Mexican Restaurant. So the exterior shot of the Crash Down Cafe is accurate.
What else should Shiri Appleby, who seems to be a really nice person, say, besides that she likes the show? But on the other hand: She clearly is on the business side of movies, she is an actress, she does direct. Making movies and watching movies is a huge difference. While fans of the original Roswell series (that was and is really good, at least for the first two seasons) complain for the right reasons, I think Shiri doesn't even really watch that new show.
Incorrect, she does watch it, she is incredibly enthusiastic about it and has been back to direct season 2, which Jason Behr also guest stars in (and she directed him in an episode too!). Would love to see more of the OG cast come back as well, fingers crossed.
The made Michael gay. So no more Michael and Maria 🤒
My baby Mike is gay now?! Noooo!
That's one of many reason why I don't want to watch this.
DJ Trevi I doubt it. If it does happen, he either choose Alex or none of them.
Black Cat I was done after watching the pilot.
Nooooooo😣I loved Michael and Maria!
I know right! They were better than max and Liz to me.
I actually think the new roswell is a hit and the new charmed needs to be rewritten to include the Halliwell line..and recast in full except maghie and the elders...and orbing returned to normal.. before it tanks..i didnt watch the old roswell often never got into it but this one is awesome!
Dont see the point in remaking iconic shows like Roswell and Charmed. The originals will always be the best
just finished watching original roswell with wife damn it is such a good series could of done with more episodes or an extra season, guess i gotta try the new one now, fingers crossed
Come up with some original ideas... Remakes i dont get they are so hard to do. Because your changing something that was already great... Maybe these shows will make it cuz the younger generation will like it... Time will tell.
*****SPOILER ALERT*****
I love Roswell. I read all 10 books plus most of the spinoff novels. I watched the three seasons and read thousands of pages of fanfiction. I wish they had have continued the story after graduation ... I wanted to see a hea for Michael and Maria. What happened with Liz Kyle and Max. I never cared for Isabel. With all that said I watched the reboot and really enjoyed it. The did overplayed the whole Liz's dad being undocumented. The buddy love story between Alex and Michael was disappointing because I hoped for some major M&M shipping. I hope they keep out the stupid Tess story and Alex murder of the second season. Can't wait to see how Alex and Maria and Kyle find out. The first series was great, different from the books but still great. The second season seams great as well just different from the first. Also Isabel is an ass hole changing Liz's memories and probably mudered Liz's sister Rosa. Ecited for episode 2. Give the new series a try. If you look at it not comparing every moment to the first series you will enjoy it.
K S they don’t have the rights too Tess or any characters that aren’t in the, book and if it’s by the Books Why is Michael and Alex a thing that never. Happened in the books I can understand the political part because, in the books Liz is Latina not white in the books Kyle’s dad is alive but is not. Dead and Max, Michael or Isabel don’t trust Jim I that easily Michael in the, books falls for Maria at one point but then he really falls for Isabel and they. Can’t even get Isabel’s name right they have it spelled Isobel in the book it’s, spelled Isabel I will watch it the scene. On the promo that turned me off of it is the crashdown shooting scene it, doesn’t give the wow factor that the books or the OG show did I loved how. Maria yelled Liz after those men were, arguing and one of them shot the gun and a bullet hit Liz and Max too the. Rescue I found the tv show later in life I found it in 2016 I was 22 and I am now, 24 years old the show made me fall in love with Syfi and romance again.
@@MarissaDawnHall I am so OVER the pilitical correctness!!! Maria and Micharl were an iconic couple!!!
Sara Wolcott CW decided to shove gay people into every single show. Please give me one show on the cw that has no gay couple. It’s like they must please them or get more people to watch they shitty shows......I’m not watching this crap! They killed Maria and Michael. Shitty CW, I’m sure you will remake the vampire diaries one day and make one of the Salvatore brothers gay! I have no doubt!!!!!! PS if Isobel was the gay one instead of Michael and they hooked her up with Tess and leave M&M the fuck alone, then I would have watched the show
@black cat I'm not watching either bc they made them gay. It's being pushed down everyone's throat! I hate it. Can't watch no show that doesn't have two men kissing on each other! It gets to being annoying. I just want a regular fcking show for once.
KS I'm with you give it a chance I personally have loved all 3 episodes that I have seen so far the characters are great and they to have a way of pulling you if you don't watch close minded. Just my little ol opinion.
I dont like it especially since they made michael and alex gay michael and maria was always my favourite couple
YES!!!! That was a horrible idea!!!! Michael and Maria were iconic!!!
Sara Wolcott I can’t watch the show now. And I was so hyped 😢 it’s like remaking Buffy with Angel being gay and willow straight. It just doesn’t work. I wish they haven’t done that! Stupid Julie plague!!!!
I agree with you! That seriously upset me. I went in excited and then got pissed as the episode progressed
I was a huge candy shipper too but yeah malex has taken over my heart after only two episodes sorry not sorry
What Alex died and Michael and Maria forever, how can Alex be gay if he dead?
Liz and Max were my first ship.
i love the original and i miss them😭😭😭
i like the old version still...and i love watching liz and max shri appleby jason behr my idol😍😍😍
In some ways they modernize and in some ways they didnt. Liz in the books was Latina so actually the original Liz was miscast and the Liz in this version is more accurate. Either way I like both versions for different reasons. I like that the Liz in this version is much stronger and established. The max and liz in the original are untouchable for that once in a lifetime love but the Max and Liz in this version are more realistic, both are flawed adults. IDK I like both
The whole Alex and Michael thing makes me mad. I love Roswell High and the original show. Maria and Michael are suppose to be together... Alex is suppose to be with Isabell until he dies... Maria and Michael were my favourite, why cant shows simply go with the book. If I was an author and a show changed important things I would get mad
Jennifer Vernazza I seriously hate that too and that's why I won't watch it. I watched the first episode and was excited then I saw where this was going. Nah I'm good. Every other show has gay ppl in it. I'm tired of it. Michael and Maria were freaking great!! Why change that?!
@@angieh5558 look at Obama for having same sex marriage that's why tv shows are not the same
Shawny this shit was happening before that so please cut that out.
Alex and Michael are amazing together, I love their chemistry. Michael and Maria are an item in the new show, because Michael is bisexual. So is Isabel, for that matter. They're aliens, why should they be defined by binary constructs? If you don't like that idea, you probably won't like the show. That's okay. The original is still out there. I was more into Michael and Maria in the books than in the OG show, or in this version - I'm way more invested in Michael and Alex. I never cared for Alex and Isabel, that just felt like lazy writing to pair up all of the main six.
I absolutely LOVE this reboot. I’m a huge fan of the OG Roswell and the books and this is a fresh take. It’s not the exact same story told again, there are definite differences. Also a new ship has completely taken over my life and I never saw that coming! 😭 #malex
Malex is amazing! Love them so much.
I watched the Roswell reboot & 2 episodes after that. Found the show intriguing, esp. Max & Liz. BUT, I am SICK TO DEATH of having PC garbage crammed down my throat every time I turn the f*cking TV on! If I want politics, I'll watch news stations.
Got curious about the original, so I binge-watched the whole series from beg. to end. Couldn't stop watching - it was fantastic! I may try to stomach the reboot, if only to see how Max & Liz get together. I like this Max because he shows more emotion than the overly serious, stoic original. But, as a whole, I think they totally f*ucked-up every single character from the original! WHY????? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???
Most of the other comments here, from those who loved the original, ought to be looked at & paid attention to by those writing/producing/directing this reboot. You lose them, you lose a very faithful fan base! Very STUPID move!!
BTW - this applies to the new, unimproved reboot of Charmed. Watched the pilot, hated it, won't watch it again. CW quickly becoming the PC crap channel! So glad I can turn to Cable for more non-PC choices. Roswell fans - try Project Blue Book instead.
Sorry that a broad range of representation is so painful to you. I loved it. I thought the original was great, but it went off the rails in season 3 and I was disappointed by the cheesy ending. I prefer the new show.
I am a DIE-HARD Roswellian. I watched the reboot because of that. I ENJOY the reboot. Its like GREAT FANTABULOUS AU fanfiction. "Michael" grew on me. Max & Liz grew on me. Isabel, (sorry Star Gazers) is much more palatable in the reboot. -lot less annoying. Maria and Alex are NOT as relevant to me in the reboot -I care about them a LOT less except when it gives the little hottie that plays reboot Michael has an excuse to be on scene and act opposite of them. I don't like Michael gay. Kyle Valenti is AWESOME. can't get enough of my VD little hottie. All and all I find myself not wanting to miss an ep. and now it's on netflix
Lol new Michael is technically bisexual but I agree with you on the other points - I found Isabel the least likeable in season 1 of the new show but I loved her in season 2!
They made the new Micheal gay. Honestly as I saw that I stopped watching..... Every show does not have to have someone being gay. They should never have remade it!!! Original fan forever.
@Lynn Gampert I was waiting for someone to say this.... Have you not seen any of the series that are out now??? All I am saying is that this show is based off of a book, nowhere in the book do you have a gay couple. Honestly if they wanted to add a gay couple then create new characters!!! Do not go and rune what we 90s generation fell in love with.
It's almost as if shows are trying to include gay people, because they actually exist. Strange.
@@jackborris372 of course they exist!!! They are some of the most awesome and amazing people ever!! My issue is not including gays into the show, my issue is that they changed a beloved character from the book so much. They have changed the timeline and killed off even Izzy's love story with Alex and how they plan to work Tess in is beyond me. All I am saying is if they wanted to include gays then create new characters.
@@myranegriffith2811 Well good thing you have the original and this isnt it. They are not telling the same story. If you want the same story and you cant cope with something new, dont watch. But also Im super tired of people coming on to their interviews and trailers and trashing it/complaining about it. It makes it so those that do enjoy it have to see negativity every single time and its really lessens their chances of renewal. I'll never understand the mindset of going to a video of something you are upset with to complain.
Ikr! Its not like gays are everywhere. I live in NYC and still havent met one much less have any gay friends. I dont got anythin agaisnt them.. everyones free to do whatever they want but to change the Original show characters to add a gay person.. Just doesnt make any sense z
The new one very much feels like a Parallel universe like on the show Sliders thats kinda how I'm getting in the mind frame watching it like the original show took place in a different Universe then the new one it's the only way I can rap my mind around the fact it didn't seem like Michael and Maria are Not going to be together
That's a good way of looking at it.
I enjoyed the pilot and get why it was ordered, different enough for the story to make sense. Didn't really enjoy episode 2. Will watch the whole season though to compare. I was a huge fan of the first series, so I'm not even looking at this one in the same light, being more objective than obsessive over the differences.
It took me until episode 6 to really get into it, I was so intrigued by their take on teenage Max and wanted to know why he changed so much - loved this new reboot and now I'm obsessed.
God bless the new actors, but they don't hold a candle to the original cast. Starting with Shiri. She just has that IT factor. Jason Behr, Brenden Fehr, Majandra Delfino, Katherine Heigl, Collin Hanks, and Nick Weshler ALL knocked it out of the park. This new show just feels fake and plastic like most CW stuff.
New one. Roswell new Mexico show its bad to watch its like someone put it on to fast its nice watch at first tune it off i am sorry not good. love original Roswell new Mexico it was every good show to watch i like everything about it.
I really liked what she said this show is about otherness and feeling Alien.
They do it really well
I'm giving this a go and I'm glad that they have changed a lot of the storyline so I think of it as a completely different entity that can in no way harm my memory of the original series. I'm happy that they aren't doing a continuation of the original story with the original actors, because I was happy with how they ended things. They were happy! If they came back, it wouldn't be the same.
Cw stay with all their shows having gay characters. They could of gave us a new main character that was gay than taken to of the main characters and shoving them down our throats. Still gonna watch but now alex and Isabel won't get a second shot and we have to wait on micheal and Maria because Michael sleeping with Alex and they weren't a couple in the books or original series
Even though she is going to direct the new Roswell i like the old one we should’ve got more seasons cause things really didn’t really make sense and I have questions and I prefer the old one but she looks great though and I didn’t know she was the director so good for her but I do wish she was more Roswell the original one seasons and my mother made me watched it The original one and I love it R.I.P Alex you always be my favorite character
