Season 1 Review:
Despite the vast population of figures from the play, this isn’t a show aimed at Shakespeare scholars; a mere passing acquaintance with “Romeo and Juliet” will do. It’s also not “Shakespeare in Love”; it won’t dazzle you with quick references, wittily deployed Shakespearean lines and so on.

Season 1 Review:
What Star-Crossed can't do, at least in the early going, is provide much incentive to care about its characters, despite the appealing Anthony Head and Zuleikha Robinson as Lord and Lady Capulet, Grant Bowler as Lord Montague and Lashana Lynch as Juliet's cousin Rosalind, who gets caught in the middle of a plan to save the fair city of Verona.

Season 1 Review:
All the familiar boxes are checked off, including the miscommunications that inevitably lead to Romeo and Juliet's deaths, but these sequences are so often scattershot, sloppily edited, or too tightly framed to make any kind of emotional impression. Buried somewhere in the middle of this is the show's actual premise.

Season 1 Review:
While a tad short of The White Princess, the costuming and pageantry of the show is exemplary (even if some of those castle shots look lifted from Once Upon A Time), so it’s lovely to look at, but hard to follow. And harder still for it to hold your attention. Further episodes will need to amp up something--romance, intrigue, trauma--to grab the audience.
