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
score /10
