    With Samuels' star-power and the proficient execution of the episode episodes, The Nine Lives of Chloe King is the sort of summer fun that I'll happily watch in the summer and it has the potential, if it navigates the story properly, to become the rare ABC Family series I might stick with even against regular programming.

    There are allegories galore--from celibacy to puberty (all that body "processing"), alienation and, yes, teen angst of the "what the heck is that thing on my back?" variety. Think "Teen Wolf" for girls.

    It is a show about a high-school superheroine--a Catwoman without the camp or the S&M gear--and it enables longtime fans of the subgenre to watch with pride as their children digest its venerable tropes for only the fourth or fifth time.

    Well so far I have been very impressed with this show. Although I was doubting the overall outcome due to the shortcomings of the first episode in delivering good acting; I was reassured and vastly impressed with the 2nd episode. I was therefore convinced that ABC Family has snagged yet again another winning show for the summer break and for teens. Hopefully ABC Family won't make the mistake of cancelling yet again another great show.… Expand
