Roswell, New Mexico	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Roswell, New Mexico is an adaptation of Roswell High YA novels by Melinda Metz that began airing on The CW in 2019. It is the series' second live-action adaptation, after Roswell, which aired on The CW's two predecessors, The WB and UPN, from 1999 to 2001.note The first two seasons aired on The WB, while the third aired on UPN.Liz Ortecho (Jeanine Mason), brilliant biomedical researcher and daughter of undocumented immigrants, returns to her hometown after ten years away and reunites with her childhood friends, deputy sheriff Max Evans (Nathan Dean Parsons), bartender Maria DeLuca (Heather Hemmens), and doctor Kyle Valenti (Michael Trevino), whom she dated years ago.When Liz undergoes a Near-Death Experience, she is unexpectedly healed by Max. She promptly discovers that Max is actually a Human Alien who has been hiding his powers in order to blend in. Although Liz promises to keep Max's secret, his siblings and fellow aliens Isobel (Lily Cowles), who was raised alongside him, and Michael Guerin (Michael Vlamis), who was adopted by a different family, are far less trusting... and even Max himself, though kindly inclined towards Liz and usually sympathetic, has poorly concealed anger issues and a definite dark side.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Now that she's home, Liz finds herself thinking more and more about her older sister Rosa (Amber Midthunder), who died just before Liz left—whose death, in fact, was the instigation for Liz to leave Roswell forever. Initially digging into Rosa's death in order to gain closure, Liz soon discovers that nothing about Rosa's death was as it seemed.The cast also includes Alex Manes (Tyler Blackburn), an Air Force veteran and Michael's boyfriend, Jesse Manes (Trevor St John), Alex's homophobic father, and Noah Bracken (Karan Oberoi), Isobel's husband who has no idea that she is an alien.In May 2022, it was announced that the series would end with season four.

Roswell, New Mexico / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: In the past, Roy Bronson (a black man) starts up a romance with Louise (an alien who resembles a white woman). When they're discovered by the government, Bronson is killed with her and is labeled a "traitor to his own kind" for it. Keep in mind that this takes place before interracial marriage was legalized in New Mexico. While most of the parallels to Fantastic Racism refer to aliens as refugees and immigrants, Flint Manes (who is half-Navajo), believes that they're here to colonize Earth.

Roswell, New Mexico / int_154aa477	comment	Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Manes family, almost solely due to the efforts of Jesse Manes. Jesse abused his son Alex for being gay, terrifying his other son Flint into becoming a fanatical Army man and his wife and oldest son Greg into leaving, all while impressing his very specific and toxic idea of what it meant to be a man on all three of his sons. Jesse doesn't hesitate to kill Alex just for being a loose end and Flint kidnaps Alex and sets up a fake terrorist attack partially as his revenge against Jesse and lashes out at Alex when he points out that Flint was also abused by their father. It says a lot that Greg killing Jesse is the first sign of the family healing rather than being broken apart. In the past, Harlan and Tripp Manes continued this tradition, with Harlan killing Tripp and blaming it on the aliens, in order to radicalize a young Jesse.

Roswell, New Mexico / int_85c4ebe0	comment	Bisexual Love Triangle: Between Michael, Alex, and Maria. Michael and Alex have a long complicated history, while Michael and Maria have a standing flirtation that starts to become more. Michael genuinely does love Alex, and as of the end of season 1, he chooses to be with Maria, because he feels Alex and him aren't good for each other and because of his growing feelings for Maria. This is further complicated by Maria and Alex being best friends and not wanting to hurt each other and Maria not having known about Alex and Michael's history for most of the first season. In Season 2, Michael and Maria date on and off and, at one point, have an emotionally fraught threesome with Alex, who also gets his own Satellite Love Interest. By the end of the season, the triangle is largely resolved: Michael and Maria break up and he expresses hope for him and Alex in the future.

Roswell, New Mexico / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: Since the series is near the border and stars undocumented immigrants, there's a number of jabs at current immigration policy. The characters themselves are split on the controversy, but pretty much all of them hate the current administration's way of dealing with it. The gun store owner sells Kyle a gun without a background check, then when Kyle rants about family and code and killing in a way that makes it clear he's way too unstable to have one, he gives him a discount. When they head off to a Navajo reservation to talk with a man who may have known their mother, Isobel snarkily comments that she took a DNA test and discovered that she was "Elizabeth Warren" percent Navajo. ICE is portrayed as thuggish, openly racist, and uncaring, bringing in Arturo (by all accounts a model citizen) simply to fulfill a quota, denying him medication, and manufacturing charges that they instantly dismiss when they find out Liz has government connections. The new sheriff in season 3 talks a big game about her fairness, name dropping Black Lives Matter and promising to get to the bottom of a recent wave of hate crimes, but in practice she lets the local hate group run free because the leader is her friend's son. This is in comparison to Sheriff Valenti, who was honest about not liking illegal immigrants but still did her best to prevent hate crimes against them.

Roswell, New Mexico / int_b5b4f09b	comment	The Rez: The Navajo reservation near Roswell plays a key part in season 2. It's where Alex's mother is from and where his brother Gregory fled to, and more importantly, it's where Tripp Manes hid Louise from the government after they were discovered in Roswell.

Roswell, New Mexico / int_b7e0c5ff	type	Love Triangle
Roswell, New Mexico / int_b7e0c5ff	comment	Love Triangle: It's The CW, what do you expect? In the first couple of seasons, a relatively low-key one Liz, Kyle, and Max. Possibly, as Kyle seems to be content to be Friends with Benefits to Liz and his dislike of Max isn't romantic jealousy so much as his suspicion that Max is a killer. Although he does name drop the trope to his mother, it's a cover-up to explain why he was looking through Max's files. Between Michael, Alex, and Maria through the first two seasons. Alex and Michael had a secret relationship in high school that they've picked back up a decade later, but their mutual trust issues stop it before it gets very far. Michael also has some Belligerent Sexual Tension with Maria that eventually leads to them dating. Resolved after Maria and Michael break up at the end of Season 2, and Michael and Alex get back together midway through Season 3. Briefly, between Michael, Alex, and Forrest. After breaking up with Maria, Michael acknowledges that he's jealous of Forrest and Alex's growing relationship. In the third season, Forrest leaves town and Alex chooses not to go with him, leaving the door open to getting back with Michael. Isobel starts dating Anatsa in Season 3, but it slowly becomes apparent that Kyle has feelings for Isobel too, although she doesn't seem to know it yet.
