2017 Summer Premiere: Still Star Crossed
It was a little difficult figuring out what to say about this show because it left me in such awe after the premiere. (Good thing I usually wait until after the second episode to write my review.)
This show is amazing! I haven't seen anything like this since Brandy and Whitney's Cinderella. Seeing diversity like this on my screen is magnificent! I don't even care if it doesn't make sense how these people could be related to each other. And the best part is seeing two beautiful, dark skin, Black women, sisters on screen who are smart, important, and loved. That means so much to me!
I also love how grand this show is. The costumes and the setting are epic. I'm also obsessed with the cinematography!
Now let's talk about these characters like they're real for a second.
I am totally okay with this Rosaline, Benvolio, Escalus love triangle. Well, except for the fact that Escalus seems to be turning into pure trash. But, I think that he is spending too much time trying to please everyone. His sister wants him to be this strong leader and show that strength. His dad wants him to do whatever he can to have peace in Verona. Rosaline just wants him to be with her. He has so many people in his ear that his thoughts and wants are being drowned out. Hopefully he'll realize this before it's too late.
Isabella definitely has some secret agenda going on. She's planning something and I can't wait to see what it is. Right now she and Escalus are giving me serious Azula and Zuko vibes.
Also, I can't to see what Lady Capulet does when she finds out the truth about Juliet's death. She'll probably kill the friar because those Capulet's are ruthless!
Are you guys watching? What do you think of the show?
