Still Star-Crossed is a Shonda Rhimes produced show (and yes, I realize this could excite you or make you quit straight away), so it’s dramatic and filled with different races and ethnicities (the main character is a dark-skinned woman and the character with most power/authority is black). There’s politics, there’s romance, there’s drama, there’s swordfights.
It also bombed the first night. (On Memorial Day.)
The first season is supposed to only be 7 episodes. ABC is not doing much to promote it. It likely won’t receive more than a single season. But it’s based on a book, and it appears to be paced to have a conclusive ending by the end of the season
That means just 7 hours dedicated to this beautiful, inclusive, fun show that will very likely have a satisfying ending.
So watch. Tweet #stillstarcrossed. Watch on-demand or live or on Hulu. Because if you do, maybe it’ll be more than 7 hours.
