What it's about: Yep, this is a reboot of the late '90s sci-fi romance series that aired on the WB back in the day, but both iterations of the story were based on the Roswell High book series by Melinda Metz. This time around, the CW's telling of the story follows a biomedical researcher and the daughter of undocumented immigrants (played by Jeanine Mason) who discovers that her former crush (played by Nathan Parsons) is secretly an alien who has kept his abilities hidden while working as a Roswell police officer.
