What Parents Need to Know
About Roswell
Parents need to know that this teen drama centers on a group of high school students who are hiding a huge secret -- from their families, from teachers, from the world. Certainly the stakes are high; if word gets out that actual aliens are living among the unsuspecting residents of Roswell, there could be all kinds of trouble. Still, the series' entire premise supports the idea of teens hiding important things from their parents. The characters also deal with the usual batch of angsty high school issues related to friendship and dating.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about fate and free will. One of the main characters is an alien prince who has fallen in love with a human, but he's repeatedly told that it's his destiny to marry one of the other extraterrestrials. Should he follow his heart? Should he sacrifice what may be the great love of his life to save his people? And how can he even be certain that the future of his planet will be affected by his choice? How do the issues the alien characters deal with reflect real-life teen concerns? Are the characters' lives at all realistic?

High school aliens in love
Roswell was a phenomenal series that spanned 3 seasons. It centered around the love story of Max and Liz with substories involving Micheal and Isabelles lives becoming more prevalent as the series went on. The half-human aliens are often more human than any characters you'll find on TV and the sci-fi and action crowd won't be disappointed either.
