i really wish they had continued this series. it is a fantastic series. I am so disappointed with that ending. I did not like Brian and Chloe to be together i was Alek, but the ending was so rushed, and left us with so many questions. such as why Zane wanted revenge on Valentina. There should be a 2nd season. who cares if it has been years since it was on. many shows have returned after years of hiatus. i voted an 8 because they should have expanded on her love interest with Alek and not continued and never ending heartbreak with brian. It was going no where. We need more info on zane and alek, and why they were separated. bring this show back.

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.

I enjoyed reading the books years ago, so when I saw that they were making it into a show, I was really excited. It wasn't a letdown in the least. Now, I remember the plot but the details are pretty fuzzy, and I'm sure they've added things in in order to keep the show running longer (if it makes it that far, and I'm certainly hoping it does). This is a great show if you love fantasy/sci fi. And if you loved the books, I'm sure you'll enjoy the show as well. I think all of that actors were chosen particularly well for their parts. The storyline fits with what I remember from the books, and it's definitely enough to keep my interest.I can't wait for the next season!

I don't typically watch ABC Family. Usually I discredit it as an actual TV channel. I seriously haven't watched a show on there since middle school. This show is definitely not targeted at my age group, but I love the teenage drama. I spend half my time staring at the screen yelling, "Make out already!" I find the relationships are portrayed much better in the TV series than in the book, which is unusual. It's a good way to forget about what's going on in the real world. Also LOVE that it takes place in the city.Aside from having a serious crush on one of the characters, it's a great sort of supernatural/fantasy show. The concept of the Mai and their feud with the Order balances nicely with the bits about high school and teenage love. There are some pretty good fight scenes as well. If you're a fan of this sort of genre, I think you'll like it.Hoping ABC Family picks it up for 10 more episodes. The summer finale is going to kill me.Dear ABC Family, do you check IMDb ratings? This is a desperate plea from a fan to keep the show running. Also, Ben Stone is beautiful.
