Honestly, I love this show. The amount of bad reviews it gets because of the old version makes me sad. I personally really like the storylines, characters and actors that are in this show, and don't in any way find it bad. Yes, there are a few scenes and short plot points regarding political stuff, but it's not completely overbearing like many reviewers are making it out to be. I know there are a lot of fans of the original Roswell hating on this show too. I think that if you disconnect the two, you will enjoy this version a lot. All I can say is try not to listen to the reviewers and give it a try for yourself.
