About: When Emery was 6 years old, an alien spacecraft crash-landed in her small town. Whether they came in peace or with more sinister intentions didn’t matter: a fierce battle erupted as humans fought for control over their new rivals, an alien species called the Atrians. In the midst of the conflict, Roman, a 6-year-old Atrian boy, found his way to a shed behind Emery’s house, where she protected him from harm, bringing him food, comfort – and friendship. In their brief time together, Emery and Roman forged a deep bond, but the authorities wasted no time tracking Roman down and capturing him in a violent confrontation. Emery has grown up believing that Roman was killed that day. Ten years later, the Atrians have been acclimated to life on Earth, but they are interned in a heavily-guarded camp known as the Sector to keep them separate from humans.
Now, for the first time, a group of Atrian teens will enroll in a suburban human high school, with the goal of testing the feasibility of human/alien integration. The eyes of the nation and the whole world are fixed on this historical social experiment, an endeavor fraught with suspicion and fear. In the mayhem of the first day, Emery is amazed to learn that Roman was not killed by the authorities and is, in fact, one of the Atrian students. Their childhood bond is quickly rekindled – in a school and a society that distrusts everything about the Atrians, Emery and Roman have found each other again. However, their relationship is threatened by the small-mindedness of their respective communities and the political agendas of people in power. While the world around them rages with anger and prejudice, their bond becomes increasingly strong and increasingly dangerous. As an epic Romeo and Juliet romance unfolds, a violent encounter between Roman’s father and Emery’s father occurs in the Sector. Can Roman and Emery’s love – and peace between the species – survive?
Our Opinion: Star-Crossed seems like a series that will hit the teenage girl market pretty hard and perhaps be similar to the series The Vampire Diaries. This is probably because I read somewhere there is going to be a love triangle of sorts. To me, it seems a bit similar to Beauty and the Beast with the whole forbidden love thing. Think about it, she pretty girl with a normal life, and he, boy with complicated life who meet and fall in love. They are probably going to have to keep their relationship a secret. I wonder if they will drag it out like Batb? Not to mention, it takes us back to that high school period. For those of you who are interested in Star-Crossed, power to you, but I'm trying to say that the premise of the show is not very original. Although, with the whole alien thing it might bring in a futuristic theme and some cool special effects. I do hope though that Star-Crossed will be more than just a romantic drama and use some of the elements placed inside it's plot. There is the race differences between the humans and aliens that could be used in an interesting manner.
So Star-Crossed I predict will be one of those love it or hate series. Will it be a success? I don't know. If you are wanting another romantic drama to ship another couple with, Star-Crossed might be it. I personally will not be checking out the Pilot of Star-Crossed.
