When an alien spacecraft lands in 6-year-old Emery's town resulting in an immediate battle, she befriends one of the young Atrians, whom she helps until authorities capture him. Ten years later, a group of Atrian teens is allowed to enroll in the high school to test the ability of the two species to mix, and Emery learns that Roman, the boy she helped, wasn't killed -- as she had thought -- but kept in an internment camp with the rest of the aliens. The two rekindle their relationship, while animosity continues to grow between the two communities, putting Roman and Emery's bond -- and the chance for peace -- to the test.

In spite of its dreary tone and predictable plot, Star-Crossed entertains with typical CW fare: good-looking actors, romance, and sci-fi drama.

Maureen Ryan HuffPost Feb 19, 2014
Excellent bone structure and a soundtrack studded with yearning pop songs only get you so far...and there's a tentative blandness to Star-Crossed that hindered my ability to care about any of its broadly sketched characters. Go to Full Review Carrie Raisler AV Club Feb 19, 2014

A lot of heavy lifting for a fluffy teen sci-fi romance, but so far the show acquits itself well, sticking the landing with its romantic moments and politically minded scenes in equal measure. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Feb 18, 2014
Star-Crossed hinges almost entirely on whether the chemistry between Lanter and Teegarden yields the desired swoons. The impediments thrown in the way of their relationship, while duly soapy, aren't interesting enough to make the supporting players pop. Go to Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago Jul 2, 2018
A lukewarm love story that never lives up to its potential. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide Feb 24, 2014
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. Go to Full Review Laurel Brown Zap2it.com Feb 21, 2014
With all of the sentimentality of the show concentrated in the Emery-Roman relationship, the politics and prejudices of the greater world can tackle real issues clearly and honestly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert M @RT53868205 Dec 20, 2024 The reason why I like this show is because of the aliens and the love they have for each other with the humans and the girl and the alien guy. The love do they have for each other is beautiful. That’s why I think there should be a season 2 on prime video See more Felix R @FSR2003 Jan 12, 2022 Enjoyable, would have been nice to have a few more seasons to see where they were planning on taking the story. See more steve d @RT35616104 Aug 1, 2020 Unfortunately it took a bit too long to find it's footing and by the time in got really good the show was over. See more Jul 15, 2020 The problem is how they handle the trama, a cliche is a cliche but it could work if it wasn't because they force it to a teen drama history. The history started to not centre in the mane lead and the end doesn't have a coherent history. See more Dec 21, 2019 loved this show so sad it ended would of loved a season 2!!!!!! See more Nov 27, 2019 Love this series. Never should have been cancelled. See more Read all reviews
