Star-Crossed

This show is SO much fun!! I really hope they keep it on! It's practically the ONLY show I actually look forward to watching every Monday and it is just getting better! The characters are well-constructed and the story is interesting enough to keep you engaged, episode after episode. The show has depth, in that it tries to convey a message of integration rather than discrimination. The acting is good, and the show is overall very, very well-written. I like that for once, the aliens look like humans but have some differences (such as being able to breathe through their skin). It is conceivable that there is life on other planets that have similar atmospheres as earth that would look similar to us. I also love that there is so much race mixing going on! Awesome show! :)

Love this show from the PILOT episode I was hooked! It gets better every episode and seeing the story develop and if Roman and Emery manage to get together as humans versus aliens stand in there way!

Pilot had a great pace and as far as Roswell similarities I think they did it better. Heal scene was a lot more heart warming cause it saved the life of someone that Emery cared about. The music in the show is really good just like Roswell was!

Monday's 8pm on CW is the only place to be!! Can't wait for tomorrow's episode it's gonna be epic! :-)

Star-Crossed is the best show on TV!

After watching the premier of Star Crossed I don't think I will watch it again. I thing the central problem with interest in the show is the same as in Beauty and the Beast. In that show the "Beast" is a handsome normal looking guy with a cool looking scar. In this show the aliens that are victims of prejudice look like good looking white kids with tattoos. C'mon, can't they give them antennas, or forehead ridges, or especially large heads. Something to make them look like aliens. A normal person could take a marker and draw a fake tattoo and look like them. How about green aliens, or blue. That would play up the racial angle they are trying so hard for. Would we accept a green person? This show remakes the civil rights era issue of racial integration in schools, and drains it of any relevance, so that is a parable of white hipsters trying to gain acceptance from intolerant humans. 2/10

The pilot was wonderful and both my teenager and I are really enjoying the show so far and find ourselves counting the days until Monday! We, of course, TIVo the episodes so we can watch our favorite parts again. The CW is my go-to network for entertainment. True, the actors portraying teens are quite a bit older, but I'm sure when they were casting the show, they chose the BEST actors rather than those who "looked" the part. I, for one, applaud the decision and look forward to many happy hours of viewing...once Grayson is out of the picture! 😜. Can't wait to see Teri's character develop. Drake is another one that I think will surprise me. Quite a few twists and turns to the plot that we're enjoying. Kinda surprised to read reviews that seem to think the show is predictable. So far, I don't think so.

I'm not too into writing reviews for shows but when I see negative reviews on a show that is worth more than that, I feel it's my duty to write a positive one. I thought the pilot to be extremely exuberant and enticing. I love the chemistry between the two lead characters and find the story to be familiar in some ways but at the same time, I sincerely see it as a breath of fresh air. I think it is more original than many scifi-oriented shows out at the moment and I think people shouldn't judge it so harshly. I think this show has something for everyone and all should give it a watch. I hope it does well as I look forward to seeing more!
