Pilot available on demand. Agree with those in the US thread who compare it to a cross between Roswell, Alien Nation and a dozen teen high school dramas. Disappointed by the very unoriginal aliens. Extremely good looking cast though. School tech is impressively futuristic. Everyone's got very fancy phones.

Don't bother, I hate how shows don't get much of a chance lately. This had DOA written all over it
But it looks dead as anything. But if it happens to get a second season and it wouldn't be the first CW show to get a renewal based on awful ratings, i'll have it to check out in case.
That's what they'd have you believe
a shame it was not advertised well in US, with these 2 leads and the whole R&J,twilight thing they got going on i thought it could do well for CW
its also been a bit more creative than i expected, i hope they give it a second season to see if it can build a audience.
all teen angst. but yes good tech in places.
Still, I'm giving it a go because Fridays are dead and it's only the second episode, so it's still finding its feet.
Edited to add that I agree on the creative parts people mentioned. It does have some nice touches.
Oh, and her sick friend is far more interesting to me than the girl we're supposed to root for.
Yet again, I find myself agreeing with you! Promise I'm not stalking you! The Star-Crossed female lead is a very wet, older looking Nina Dobrev, and if you just interchanged 'aliens' with 'vampires' you wouldn't have much difference. Doesn't help the cause that there's two Vampire Diaries alumni in the Star-Crossed cast either. I've watched the first two episodes, but don't think I'll bother beyond that. Although I like the slightly futuristic element (and their phones) I don't think there's enough to hold my interest.
People will start to talk:D
Wait, there's two of them in it? Who's the other one? Have I not been paying enough attention:o
Too late, they already are...;-):D
Anna, Jeremy's vamp gf is sick best friend and Mommy/Mayor Lockwood is Main Alien Boy's mother. Which one passed you by?
Woah, hang on Tyler's mum's in it? She's in Teen Wolf, too. She sure is doing the rounds:D
I don't think she looks that skinny but she is looking pretty old considering she's only 24!
Alas, I think it would take a miracle according to most places who discuss these things. Sorry:(
Have hope, though, the ways of the CW are weird indeed.:)
According to this it's 'too early to tell' but Im sure I've read the CW won't cancel all their 'duff' shows so maybe it'll get a renewal

I'm a month older than Aimee Teegarden, and she looks so much older than me. I think it's a mixture of the weight loss, and the darker hair. She looked much younger with blonde hair.
I was looking here:

Unless the CW does something weird I'm still thinking it's more likely to be cancelled than renewed, especially at The 100 seems to be doing better. But still, we can only wait and see.:)
Honestly I know it's a make believe show about teenage aliens but please! ;-)
*l* Yes. Mind you, I'm having the most trouble with Roman's hair. It's like the teen version of a Donald Trump.
Matt Lanter was Liam in 90210 is that where you know him from?
