Should't Have Been Cancelled

Warning: Spoilers
"The Nine Lives Of Chloe King" is a sort of fantasy/science-fiction series that was based off the book of the same name. Chloe King turns 16 and wishes her life were more exciting; however, she gets more than she bargained for when she discovers that she's gained catlike abilities. It turns out that Chloe is apart of the Mai race, a species of half-human, half-feline descendants of the Egyptian goddess, Bastet. Not only that, but Chloe is the Uniter who must bring peace between Mai and the Order, an organization that is out to kill the Mai.

I can't tell you how upset I was when this show was cancelled (and on a cliffhanger!) It was very good; the acting was great (Skyler Sammuels is surprisingly good and likable as Chloe), the story lines about the Mai and the Order were intriguing, and the fight scenes were awesome.

One thing I will say, though, is that there was too much focus on the romance. The Alek/Chloe/Brian love triangle was overplayed for a show that I thought was about a girl's cool catlike powers and the Order. I wished they had focused more on that storyline instead because it was so much more interesting.

Overall, though, the series was very good. I know it didn't get enough viewership, but ABC Family should have at least resolved the cliffhanger, or don't show it at all because I want to know what happened next.
