BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Abigail2010 Sadly, a show with great potential doomed to fail due to awful attempts at acting, most notably by lead Skyler Samuels, Ki Hong Lee, Grey Damon, and the suicide-inducingly annoying Grace Phipps.

Wisemasterbob Less a review and more a general complaint... I'm so tired of finding shows that I legitimately enjoy only to have the idiots in charge of the network cancel them based on some antiquated ratings system. I liked The Gates (cancelled), so I followed Skyler Samuels over to The Nine Lives of Chloe King (cancelled). Let me guess... you're going to replace it with some mindless reality TV or idiotic comedy. Good job killing all the shows with any imagination. Maybe SYFY will pick it up. It's a lot better than their awful movie of the week or the cheesy graphics in Sanctuary. There: rant complete.Skyler Samuels does a great job in this role, and I hope she continues to get similar acting roles. Maybe not quite so similar though. This is the second time in a row that she plays someone who can kill with a kiss after all. Skyler, find a better network that won't cancel your show at the drop of a hat.

Nerdfury With vampires well and truly done with this season, there's a lot of agencies looking for something new to help stand out from the crowd - some bright spark came up with the idea of 'cat-people' as a foil to the previously overused 'werewolf' option, and Nine Lives was born.For scripted, obvious, plodding teenage pap, this isn't terribly bad. At least, not as terrible as Teen Wolf. From the get-go, every actor in this series has been handed a card with a one-line description of their role, and likely expected to work with it. Most of the actors aren't bad - they all more-or-less adequately fill their roles as Teen Girl With Super Powers, Funny Best Friend, Evil Bad Guy, Bitchy Mentor, etc. Grace Phipps keeps changing her role from Wacky to Bitchy to something else. Ben and Grey (almost as unfortunate a name as 'Skyler') are possibly the worst young actors I've come across, though. Grey can't act for the life of him, and for a 'love interest,' there absolutely nothing there. Ben, similarly, can't pull it off, and can't seem to settle on an accent.The plot plods along with no definitive structure. There's an attempt at some overarching plot, and occasional tries for one-off plot insertions, but they conveniently forget things here and there. There's things mentioned and never touched on again, questions left unanswered, and answers left unquestioned - I can only assume that budgetary or time constraints meant that they had to add and remove stuff without cleaning it up so it made sense. Hell, even the point of the show - the girl with cat-like super-powers - is reduced early on to some basic super hearing, sight and empathy. Perhaps the budget for 'running and jumping' ran out?All in all, I wouldn't be surprised if season one was the last season altogether. Silver lining? It's not as bad as Teen Wolf.

sammiesays 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 controlled as one story and not a bunch of mini stories would have done this show better as a whole. It's an amazing concept that I wish could further develop.
