The sci-fi-themed teen drama Roswell begins its third and final season with Max (Jason Behr) and Liz (Shiri Appleby) back together and taking a desperate chance to find Max's son. After the many cosmic concepts of the previous season, the series dialed back the mythology to focus on the more--excuse the expression--human aspects of the characters. Roswell was often described as Dawson's Creek meets The X-Files, and accordingly Isabel (Katherine Heigl) finds romance with a lawyer (Adam Rodriguez), but struggles both with her mixed feelings about revealing her alien identity and with the aftermath of the tragedy in season 2. (The romance is later spoofed in a Bewitched-style episode.) At the same time, Max and Michael (Brendan Fehr) travel to Los Angeles in search of an alien bounty hunter that might be able to help them find Max's son. (They also find Roswell executive producer Jonathan Frakes making a guest appearance as himself.) Michael takes a night job that at first is played for laughs (in "Michael, the Gang, and the Great Snapple Caper"), then takes on threatening implications in a rousing two-parter that eventually leaves all parties not too much different from how they started. Michael also struggles in his relationship with Maria (Majandra Delfino), first when he makes new friends and later when she meets a figure from her past (Clayne Crawford) who revives a longtime music dream that might lead to bigger things. All the while, the alien trio faces the constant struggle of keeping their identities secret, even as the net seems to be tightening around them. When a key character returns in the series' penultimate episode, both the aliens and the humans they love face a critical decision. The Dawson's Creek comparison is also valid in an undesirable way: many of the background songs that characterized the series have been replaced for DVD due to licensing expenses. Newcomers to the series, of course, probably won't notice. Four episodes have commentary tracks, two by Frakes, who has some interesting information but leaves dead air and introduces characters we already know. Better are the tracks by executive producer/writer Ronald D. Moore on the Bewitched spoof and by creator Jason Katims on the series finale. Other features are a 13-minute summary of the season and Shiri Appleby's appearance on Japanese TV to publicize the DVD release of the first season in 2004. --David Horiuchi

 not as good as season one, but better than season two! February 8, 2010
R. Zerby
First of all, I'm a huge fan of the Roswell series. However, the third season doesn't hold up to the greatness of Season 1. Then again, neither does the second season. The third season has a couple really fun episodes-- especially "I Married an Alien." I think if the show had run longer, the ending would have been further developed. But if you're a fan of the show like me, you'll want to finish the series and buy Season 3.

I see why this show was canceled. This last season doesn't have a guiding hand.
 Great ending to the show: Roswell Season 3 January 9, 2010
N. Galvin (New Zealand)
great ending to the show, was glad to see all the pieces fall into place... was great that the writers thought it was time to wrap things up because if they had carried on i think it may have gone over old story lines... great to see the love story more pronounced in this season too... worth buying if you've got season one and two...Roswell: Season 1Roswell: Season 2Roswell: Season 3

This series was extremely interesting and very enjoyable. I was disapointed that it didn't last longer. I have gone back to Amazon to find more like this one. Of course I did and they have been very entertaining. I collect the Series that appeal to me from Amazon. I have quite a collection.
