With regularly scheduled television shows on summer hiatus, I was looking forward to the premiere of Still Star-Crossed. He orders Rosaline, niece to Lord and Lady Capulet, and Benvolio, nephew to Lord Montague to marry. In an effort to end the bitter feud between the Capulets and Montagues, and secure the safety of Verona, Prince Escalus arranges another wedding. With a civil war raging in the city, Verona is ripe for the taking by outside principalities. Instead, fighting erupts across Verona and unchecked violence fills her streets. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet do not bring peace between the Capulets and Montagues.
