Format:DVD
Roswell in a nutshell, it about three teenage aliens (eventually four) and there human friends. But its more than that, its a love story, one of the strongest and most powerful love stories i have ever seen: its about sacrifice for the one you love, finding that inner strength you never knew you had to make sure the object of your affection comes to no harm. The story relates to every teenage life (and in some ways even adults), becoming an adult, finding oneself yet still trying to be a kid and go through high school. This is a show that has touched many hearts all over the world, young and old, are moved by the story of the teenagers from another world, who find allies and form relationships with humans they would never of imagined would be pivotal to their survival. The main theme of the story is Max the young alien king and Liz, the human who's life he saved (by using his powers) risking discovery of his origins because he had always loved her and could not bear let her die: the bonds forged will last a life time. and so begins the adventure. Maybe it was not a weather ballon that fell in Roswell in 1947; You will never think of aliens the same way again! Welcome to Roswell.

I won't dwell on why I like the series, as if you're already thinking of buying it, you must like it. So rather than doing so, I'll just talk about the boxset itself.
The DVDs are good and single-sided, with basic but good enough menus. The box just contains the 3 boxes for each season.
All 3 seasons contain French and English spoken languages, as well as subtitles.
There are few extras apart from commentaries, although some episodes like the Pilot have a deleted scene or two, and on the last DVD of the season there is a Behind the Scenes featurette and a couple of other things.
So all in all a pretty good release, if it wasn't for the music: unfortunately, due to Copyright issues, most of the music on these DVDs has been changed compared to the TV broadcasts.
Dido still sings the main theme, which is reprised at the end of the last episode of season 1, but apart from a couple of other songs within the episodes, pretty much all of the songs have been replaced. If you're not a big fan of the series you probably won't know any different, but if you do you may be disappointed.
For example, at the end of an episode which is quite dramatic (won't reveal what not to spoil), it is meant to be "Coldplay - Trouble" playing in the background, but instead it is a boring song made by some small random American band you'll never have heard of...
So that's why this is not getting 5 stars.

OUT OF THIS WORLD !!! This is truly a great boxset, 1-3, and is a perfect way to escape the traumas of the real world and enter into the world of Max, Isabelle, Micheal, Liz, Maria and Alex and of course Kyle and Sheriff Valenti. It is funny, clever, and a sophisticated approach to aliens living among us. It has the romance factor and has some of the best story lines about "boy gets girl, boy loses girl" and so on, it also has the firey but loving relationship between Maria and Micheal which is a great coupling since Joey and Pacey !!
This is a must buy, for all sci-fi fans and fans of series such as Dawson's Creek, The O.C. and others like these. You will love it as soon as Max and Liz bond in an amazing scene in the pilot episode, accompanied with the haunting sound of Sarah McLachlan. The music is brilliant, the show is totally excellent. Please buy this boxset (all of them, you must to see it to the very end) you wont regret it.

Rosewell makes real sense
Having watched many disjointed bits of Roswell over the years on Sky, interrupted by adverts and other rubbish, you really only get to see Roswell for what it is on DVD. Read more
