a5c7b9f00b A girl with special cat-like powers is being hunted by an assassin. Chloe King should be dead. Any normal human being would be under the circumstances, but Chloe has just turned sixteen and has found out she isn'tnormalshe once thought she was. Chloe is Mai - a race of beings with cat-like powers: speed, agility, and claws. Being a high school student was complicated enough, but being Mai has added a new set of problems. Chloe is given the responsibility of protecting both the Mai and Human races. A secret organization wants to have her assassinated - nine times if necessary. And a simple kiss has deadly consequences; so much for falling in love. Nine Lives of Chloe King has the start for a great sci-fi fantasy, action, show. It has a certain cat-woman appeal and yet takes the background of a high schooler. The characters are lovable and do evolve throughout the series. The setting of San Francisco is ominous yet romantic. The one thing that really brought me down is the lack of glue to the story. The first episode starts off with a huge bang into the story of this 'was' normal 16 year old. And then every episode after has its story like a sitcom. It's Chloe dealing with boys, Chloe and her family, Chloe having this new life, and etc. I think making the show controlledone story and not a bunch of mini stories would have done this show bettera whole. It's an amazing concept that I wish could further develop. the reason i give this show one star, is because there is no negative stars rating, seriously, its that bad, not enough that he whole premise of the show is weak, 90% of it revolves around the sordid love life of a 16 year old who has two hunks in love with her, a bunch of friends, a cool mom, super powers, and yeah..she is the one, Bella swan much? when will Hollywood stop profiting from the shallow and vain egos of American teen girls, can we have a show with some substance? would it kill them if the hero actually had to earn his status through some hardship and humility? and to top this off the ending is the worst cliff hanger of all time, with no second season even confirmed, and even if there is to be a second season of this insult to anyone with taste, the ending is still God awful. my advise don't waste your time, i did that for you so you wouldn't have to. cheers.
