[Review] - Star Crossed

Star Crossed is the new tvshow of The CW. It aired its Pilot last week. It stars Matt Lanter and Aimee Teegarden. Here's a short synopsis of episode one:

On an autumn night of 2014, a big spaceship lands on Earth. The people in it are aliens, and they are soon held in by the police and military. A little child escapes through the woods and hides in a shed, where a girl helps him hide and gives him food. When the cops find the child, they shot a laser gun at him and he falls down. The little girl believes he's dead. But he isn't. The child, Roman, is one of the Seven Atrians that ten years later are allowed to attend high school for the first time. The guy knows that Emery is the girl who saved him, and so he tries to talk to her casually on the first day of school. She is still kind, but not every human is like her. Some groups try to bully the Atrians and want fights - they know that they have the upper hand so they are trying to make it look like it's the opposite. Besides the bullies and prejudices, we get a glimpse into main characters' lives. We find out that Emery is an ex patient of immuno deficiency and has a friend who still suffers with cancer. She is aware that the Atrians may have an herb called cyper that can help her cure her disease, so the two girls get into the Section only to find out from Roman and that this herb is just a herb and that's it. Later in the episode we find out that the cyper really works because Roman uses it on Emery's friend to save her from death - but Emery doesn't know he did.

I must say, I expected stuff from this show. It looked good back in May 2013 when it was presented at The CW panel, and it didn't disappoint me. It has the right mix of mystery and basically it makes you doubt of anyone. You can't really trust anybody on this show. The chemistry between Roman and Emery is undeniable. The actors are very good at their roles and OMG, what a hot combo. I also hope something will happen between the other humans and Seven Atrian. Approved! Hope The CW won't axe this, although the ratings aren't very good.
