I remember watching this series back when it aired in 1999, or maybe it was early 2000, after all I live in Norway. I was also attending my last or second last year of elementary school and uncertainty was a subject regarding next year would bring at middle school was prominent. Anyways, this was during the times of the great Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and of course Roswell.
(Warning with some major spoilers which also are minor, strange but true.) The main story is about three teenagers that are connected to the crash in Roswell, New Mexico all the way back to 1947. If you enjoy(which I still do) Buffy then you will most likely enjoy this. The characters, the music, the storyline, the ups and downs of these teenagers are incredible. The relationship between Max and Liz rivals the relationship between Buffy and Angel. Its one of the most beautiful love stories I can think of, and I promise you after you see the pilot and hear "Crash into Me" by Dave Matthews Band play at the end while these two starstruck teenagers connect you will be hooked. Not to forget Sarah Mclachlan fear playing while Liz lays dying. Another song that will be forever indistinguishable is Dido's intro-theme. To contrast their relationship we have Michael and Maria, whom totally are irregular and funny, and pretty intense, and almost even more charming than Max and Liz(!) Also Alex and Isabel brings some certain charm to this show. Even Kyle and his father sheriff Valenti, whom both are very annoying are also extremely fascinating and unique.
While some of us fans find season 1 the absolute best, the remaining two seasons are entertaining but they are a shift from the more personal and exciting drama/mystery/science fiction of season 1. For reasons you have to find out yourself, I give this serious a 7 out of 10. While first season deserves 9 out of 10, its what comes after that somewhat destroys the scoring. However you look at it, this show is a legendary show that should only be compared to its likes, like Buffy and Angel.
If you are looking for a show to fill the gap that Buffy gave you, this is the show, and it will make you reminisce back to the earlier seasons of Buffy. The mood, the chemistry, the feeling is marvelous. This seriously will feel like something larger than life. And you will feel that you died and just came back to life five days ago. So come on, you will be starstruck, for a while at least!
