The heart of the show remains the psychic bond between Liz and Max, and diehard “Roswell” fans should be relieved to know that their dynamic remains much the same (and that Mason in particular proves a charismatic delight).

Great chemistry among the cast. Very entertaining. Can't wait to see what happens next.

The show is an interesting new take on the 00’s show. It’s not by any means a faithful reboot or spin-off. It is an update retelling if the old show. Hopefully this show will actually have a satisfying ending and not be dragged on until it is unexpectedly cancelled on a cliffhanger...

At its most basic narrative level, the show’s premise is only mildly interesting, but two things manage to elevate it enough so as to demonstrate the potential for good storytelling, and there’s also change from the original that gives the show more fertile ground to work with than a lot of CW dramas: The first is the immigration parallel. ... The second big thing Roswell, New Mexico has going for it is the mystery planted in the pilot.

They’ve aged all the characters up, but they still act like they’re 15 years old.

Like The CW's remake of Charmed, I see the elements of why the creators wanted to update this franchise and just wish it could be better.

This grown-up Roswell has its moments but mostly reminds us how hard it is to recapture the magic of the original. [7-20 Jan 2019, p.11]

The performances deal in the kind of insipid caricaturing on the order of the Millennial who confuses polo with polio in “Three Billboards.”

The show is a healthy blend of the old show with an adult translation. The chemistry between the lead characters is off the charts.
