TV Show - Roswell
Also called Roswell High
Score : 7/10
Multiple directors

Country : USA
Language : English

Duration 61 episodes (x42 minutes), spread over 3 seasons

Aliens living among us... they befriend some humans, whilst most of others would like nothing else than to study their bodies and search for a killer amongst them...

Apart for some bad music scores (i can think of a couple which actually kill their scenes, whilst most of the time i could've done with something quite different;  i did actually love Dido's song for the show and a few tunes during the 3 years run)

Some obviously corny stuff, but also some really good story telling, this show is mostly written by Ronald D. Moore, who seems to focus on science-fiction, and coproduced by non other than Jonathan Frakes - star trek tng's n°1 Will Riker. He actually makes a few appearences, one of them with John Billingsley, Enterprise's Dr Phlox...

Despite of being a WB show geered mostly for teens, there are a few epidoes which outgrew their main target, in my opinion, and had a lot more to offer to adults and teens alike.

All in all, a nice show, and the bluray player improves the dvd's image quality by a LOT, we actually compared, whoa!

    It's a good show even though it was made for teenagers lol
    It has its moments and it's different... and it's now cheap to buy if you end up buying it (about 30 € for the entire boxset)
