First of all I only saw bits and pieces of the original series. Second, I was actually born and raised in Roswell, New Mexico. My family had been in Roswell since the 1890’s. With that being said, I really like this show. The original series had almost no Hispanics. I loved how this version has not only rectified that but has brought in real issues. The fact that it’s actually shot in New Mexico and not California like the original series is something I like. I prefer it being about adults and not children. And I think the all-around story is better. I would recommend it give it a nine out of the 10
