Season 1 Review: The series feels very much at home on The CW, maybe too much so, as it doesn't initially stand out from the rest of the network's lineup. But there's hope it could blossom as the chemistry between Mason and Parsons grows. [18 Jan 2019, p.48]

Season 1 Review: The heart of the show remains the psychic bond between Liz and Max, and diehard “Roswell” fans should be relieved to know that their dynamic remains much the same (and that Mason in particular proves a charismatic delight). Read full review

Season 1 Review: The performances deal in the kind of insipid caricaturing on the order of the Millennial who confuses polo with polio in “Three Billboards.” Read full review

The show is a healthy blend of the old show with an adult translation. The chemistry between the lead characters is off the charts.

The show is an interesting new take on the 00’s show. It’s not by any means a faithful reboot or spin-off. It is an update retelling if the old show. Hopefully this show will actually have a satisfying ending and not be dragged on until it is unexpectedly cancelled on a cliffhanger...
