'Roswell: New Mexico' Season 1: Nathan Parsons and Tyler Blackburn convincingly portray the marginalized lives of Max and Alex

Fans want to see Blackburn play Max, but the actors devotedly carry out the characters allotted to them, as both find themselves afraid of a society that shuns the different.
UPDATED JAN 11, 2019

The CW's reboot of the '90s show 'Roswell' is set to premiere on January 15, and fans are already doting upon Nathan Parsons (as Max Evans) and Tyler Blackburn (as Alex Manes). However, the weight seems to be heavier on Blackburn, who plays the gay military officer in 'Roswell: New Mexico'. The reboot picks up with the old characters, only this time they are adults and live in a world that is at war against some unethical issues such as immigration, gender discrimination, and racism. The show follows Roswell native Liz Ortecho (played by Jeanine Mason) who returns to the town only to find herself thrust in the middle of a decades-old conspiracy.
