Roswell (1999)
Teenage aliens with superhuman powers navigate high school crushes and a dangerous secret in New Mexico.

Surrounded by cliques of clever, angst-filled classmates, the two form a bond that threatens the survival of a secret universe involving superhuman powers, a yen for hot sauce and an alien gene pool.
