ITV quietly adds 'captivating' mystery after fans rave over four seasons
ITV has subtly added all four series of a beloved mystery drama to its streaming platform. Roswell, New Mexico, originally broadcast on The CW from 2019 to 2002. The show is a reboot of the 1999 version, inspired by the Roswell High book series penned by Melinda Metz. Featuring Jeanine Mason, Nathan Dean and Michael Vlamis, the plot centres around Liz, the daughter of undocumented immigrants, who returns to her hometown of Roswell in New Mexico a decade after her older sister's death, only to uncover a startling secret about her teenage sweetheart, Max. It transpires that he is an alien who has been concealing his supernatural abilities and true identity for years. As Liz and Max rekindle their relationship, she strives to safeguard his secret. However, when a violent incident suggests there are more aliens on Earth, his concealed identity becomes jeopardised, reports Devon Live. "The politics of fear and hatred that run rampant in Roswell threaten to expose Max and his family and could endanger his deepening romance with well as their lives," the synopsis hints. In addition to Grey's Anatomy star Jeanine and General Hospital actor Nathan, the cast boasts Lily Cowles, Tyler Blackburn, Heather Hemmens and Michael Trevino. Fans have been singing the praises of the series since its initial airing. A viewer was effusive in their praise, saying: "This tv series is worth your time no matter who you are. Roswell New Mexico is my ultimate favourite tv show without doubt. From the excellent direction to captivating storyline. This tv series deserves more appreciation. its authenticity makes it even more enticing to watch." Another confessed their adoration for the show, remarking: "I love this show! Modern, smart, great at dodging some of the more cliché tropes-also has some really great acting." In a spirited review, a third fan declared: "This generates the adrenaline.. It felt like I had permanent goosebumps the entire show! I just love how every character has a role and has a part to play and is important.. This series has a good unpredictable plot. This show is VERY UNDERRATED." While Roswell, New Mexico got the chop from The CW, the finale gave fans closure, serving as a dignified farewell not originally planned. Showrunner Chris Hollier shared with EW the ambitions laid to rest due to the cancellation: "This [finale] was intended to help launch us to a nice wrap-up of season five. More craziness would've followed." He discussed what might have been, including time leaps towards a "legacy ending": "What does it mean when you start to find the people that you want to be with? How do you actually go and generate your own happy ever after? I loved where we were going to take those characters." Hollier revealed tantalising glimpses into a future that will never be aired: "We were talking about setting the ending multiple years in the future. It would've been another wrap-up with where all of our couples were." Roswell, New Mexico is available to watch on ITVX.
