'Roswell: New Mexico': How the show is bringing two generations of audiences together

The reboot is bringing two generations to watch a show that is current and yet, at the same time, retains an old world charm
PUBLISHED JAN 16, 2019

In order to tell the story of the '90s cult classic, 'Roswell', Julie Plec took up themes that are extremely relevant in the present political scenario. Following Liz Ortech who is the daughter of an undocumented immigrant, 'Roswell: New Mexico' picks up sensitive subjects such as immigration, bigotry, and LGBTQ in order to portray the tensed climate of the US. While most of these issues are highly contemporary, The CW reboot holds the immense ability to draw in an audience from two generations. 

Speaking with MEAWW at the Critics Choice Award, actor Nathan Parsons who plays the role of the grown-up Max Evans, claimed that the show is quite a comfortable premise for both generations to explore.
