Everything else about this show is instantly recognizable to any CW veteran. However, I did enjoy a crack about Glee even if only reminded me how much more humor is needed.

Plenty of potential, if Star-Crossed stops talking down to us.

The tone is mostly dreary and the plot with few exceptions goes precisely where you expect.

Drab and derivative, [it] weighs down its Romeo-and-Juliet story with trite allegory about peer prejudice and government oppression of the Atrian aliens, co-opting imagery of the civil-rights movement in the cheapest way imaginable.
February 16, 2014
With aliens in the mix, tension and romance on the rise and one particularly interesting twist, there's potential for Star-Crossed to be as exciting and unpredictable as it'll likely be dramatic.
February 17, 2014
Star-Crossed is without question a cool concept. There's romance, testosterone overload (and whatever the Atrian hormone is), conflict, betrayal, family melodrama, red-plastic-cup parties, a little sci-fi.

It's too soon the count the show out. The principals are attractive, and the first two episodes set up some plot threads that could twist together well.
February 11, 2014
Decent teen drama explores issue of prejudice with care.
February 13, 2014
It shows extra ambition by putting its outsiders so constantly and viscerally close to those who suspect and fear them. Add forbidden love, which can never escape the shadow of potential doom, and [it] could become both provocative and entertaining.

The guy [Vartan] is so laughably over-the-top oily that conservative TV and radio hosts will be entitled to whatever field days they might be planning.
