CRITICS OF "The Nine Lives of Chloe King - Season 1"
Newsday
The pilot hour delivers details thick and deep, and effectively, but it's hard to tell exactly what Chloe and her in-on-the-secret teen cohorts will then be left doing week to week.
Despite only marginal spring in the exposition-heavy pilot, the promised mix of action, angst and serialized mystery should make for a purr-fect little summer escape.
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.
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.
Ultimately Chloe King reveals a mysterious, conspiracy-filled mythology that's also similar to Kyle XY and was always the least enjoyable part of that show. Chloe King is not awful but it feels completely unnecessary.
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.
Heeding one of the elementary vampire show lessons, "Chloe King" sets all this against a backdrop of clever teenage banter and the awesomeness of teenage romance.
