DVD Reviews of Roswell - Seasons 1-3
DVD Review: Unappreciated in its time.
Summary: 4 Stars
Jason Katims, who has since gone on to more fame with the critically acclaimed Friday Night Lights really began his climb (in my humble opinion) with this well-made and clever tale of the alien babies who crashed in Roswell in 1947 before growing up as teenagers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This show was cancelled at least three or four times before its final cancellation, before fan campaigns brought it back (the famous Tabasco Hot Sauce campaigns) and the constant shifts in focus, style and format demonstrate the many attempts to grab, well not an audience which it had, but the attention and support of the studio Execs who kept cancelling it. This show launched Katherine Heigl's career though she pretends this show never happened and several other familiar faces made appearances over the years. This show is a very entertaining show, if not a masterpiece, and the contours of storyline and format give a great sense of how challenging it must be to work in television, to structure and conceive an entertaining show. Katims found his footing with this show and demonstrated a clear eye for talent with his casting choices as he has continued to do with Friday Night Lights. This is a great addition to any individual who misses the old WB network and the teen-oriented shows it gave us.DVD Review: Great Show - Worth Seeing
Summary: 5 Stars
For any Sci-Fi fans, this is a great show to watch. The characters come together through the seasons, and you feel close to them by the shows end. A great set to pick up for some nice relaxing weekends in the house.DVD Review: for young and old...
Summary: 5 Stars
I hesitated buying this show because it stated that the actors were young(ish) and me being a mature male, I wasn't sure if I could related or not. WRONG --- succinctly put, this is an alien young love story ---- there were many episodes that I teared up which hardly ever happens. Not as much special effects as I would have liked, but the story line and the characters' depth made up for all of it --- this is a keeper...DVD Review: Roswell still Rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
The Roswell series was made several years ago with the older Teen in mind, but the plots that intertwine throughout the seasons are well thought out and help keep the expectancy levels at a all time high. Emotions get touched as we see mans inhumanity to those who are seen to be different and are subjected to painful body intrusions in the name of science. The sad thing is that this touches the raw emotion because we are only too well aware that this type of treatment is happening today and has happened in the past. Season three ends neatly and while it is open ended enough to start a fourth season, which would make all us older Roswellians very, very happy - it leaves no loose ends.
Worth the money for entertainment par excellence!
DVD Review: Fantastic series... but the three pack has flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
Admittedly, I wasn't a fan of "Roswell" until midway through the first season. The first few episodes were a bit too corny for my taste, but then the series really took off and became a must-purchase. I bought all three seasons without having seen the last two, and loved them.
This is a great deal -- but bear in mind that the packaging leaves something to be desired. In opening each individual case and checking the disks, I discovered that at least one side of each case was broken, leaving the disks sliding around without protection. None of them were scratched, but I'm not too happy. The slim cases need TLC.
Description of Roswell - Seasons 1-3
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 by writer Jason Katims, the directors, and various cast members as well as featurettes. The commentaries are unusually insightful on the casting process, and the discs also include the auditions for the part of Tess as well as deleted scenes and a music video. --Roz Kaveney
