Product Description

Amazon.ca

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 on six episodes by writer Jason Kanims, the directors, and various cast members as well as a featurette on the making of the show and another on its adaptation from the original Roswell High series of young adult novels. The commentaries are unusually insightful on the casting process, and the discs also include the auditions for the part of Tess as well as a deleted scene and a music video. --Roz Kaveney

5.0 out of 5 stars Roswell is Missed!!!!! Nov 11 2003
By "ryoflight1975"
Format:DVD
An extraordinary show that touched the hearts of many, "Roswell" was cut short after only three seasons. Jason Behr, Shiri Appleby, Katherine Heigl and the rest of the cast brought to life such wonderful, lovable characters. Every week, the show explored a double-edged sword of fantasy/reality as the series tugged at the hearts of it's loyal fans. Whether it was sending bottles of Tabasco sauce or any other method of showing support to the show, "Roswell" fans are truly devoted and it's a sad loss to see the show end after 3 short years. From the moment Max saved the life of Liz, to the day they were married, these two star-crossed lovers made it impossible for people not to love "Roswell." Don't miss out - get your copy of season one and live the magic that touched so many hearts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roswell's got it ALL! BUY THIS! Nov 4 2003
By John A. Jodell
Format:DVD
At long last, one of the most original and gripping TV shows comes out on DVD! The suspense, drama, romance and human interest of season one will have you on the edge of your seat waiting for seasons two and three to make their DVD debut. Aliens Max, Isabel and Michael, imbued with human DNA and assimilated into Roswell's human society, desperately try to keep their real origin secret from the local sheriff, the government and the FBI---out of fear and necessity. Though alien, they're the "good guys" trying to merely survive in a world of cynical and threatening humans. Their narrow escapes and their desire to remain apart from and still interrelate with humans makes for very interesting viewing. "The White Room", a late first-season episode, ranks with some of the most suspenseful and action-filled plots in the history of television. This is one DVD set you won't see on the "used" block. Buy it---you will definitely want to keep it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Little Too Much Mush-room July 5 2009
By Dave and Joe TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
The beginning of a great series. The first set is a bit mushy for my tastes but it establishes the characters well. The romance between Max and Liz is mostly charming but becomes silly in some episodes, over emphasized in others. The supporting characters get to grow and develop throughout the series changing dynamic and tension - just like they are supposed to. The premise of four teen aliens in Roswell High is wonderfully camp and is carried off with both humour and seriousness. It's definately worth a look.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Series Got Off To An Amazing Start.
This show was so great and had an awesome cast, story, and music. At first it started out as a teen drama but rapidly turned to sci-fi which is a shame. Read more
