Star Crossed

Louis Post-Dispatch gave the series 2 of 4 stars signaling mixed reviews, saying " Star-Crossed doesn't aim as high as those, Lanter does get a few witty lines "One of my hearts stopped beating for a few minutes.

Luckily I had a backup " but the tone is mostly dreary and the plot with few exceptions goes precisely where you expect. Only if the romance proves genuinely heart-stopping to young fans maybe, the same ones who have embraced Reign will this one be a hit. There are the good ones and the bad ones, and the bad good ones, and the good bad ones. Adults, as always in these things, are no help at all. David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle gave it a negative review, writing: Teenagers may not be smarter than they were when the WB was at its peak, but it's unlikely they're dumber.
