40 Ending or Cancelled TV Shows for the 2011-12 TV Season

The Closer, termasuk yg bakal berakhir tahun ini

Siap-siap sedih jika serial favorit kalian harus berakhir atau di akhiri.....



Against the Wall (Lifetime)

This family cop drama didn’t catch on with a large enough audience so it was canned after one season on the air. The last episode aired in September.

Allen Gregory (FOX) NEW
Co-created by and starring Jonah Hill, this animated series aggravated lots of people but didn’t keep enough of them coming back week after week. FOX aired all seven episodes and there won't be any more

Starring Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson, this show revolves around a man with writers block. The ratings dropped a lot in season three so HBO opted not to give it a 4th season.

Walter and Jesse have been given their walking papers. The final 16 episodes will finish airing in either in 2012 or 2013.

Camelot (Starz)
The ratings weren’t great and there would have been production challenges in making a second season so the cable channel pulled the plug. The drama lasted 10 episodes. 

CHAOS (CBS)
A comedic action series, this show was delayed until late in the season. When it finally debuted, few noticed. CBS burned off most of the episodes on Saturday nights. 

The original series was a big success for ABC but this one flopped. Production was shut down after eight episodes and the show was cancelled

Chuck (NBC)
Has there ever been a time when this TV show wasn’t in danger of being cancelled? NBC decided to renew it for a fifth and final season of 13 episodes, giving the cast and crew ample time to craft a series finale.

The Closer (TNT)
Kyra Sedgwick supposedly made the decision to end this top-rated series after seven seasons on the air. Though Brenda Leigh Johnson will depart, some of the characters will continue in a spin-off called Major Crimes. 

Rather than wait until the ratings dropped any further, the network has agreed to close down Wisteria Lane after eight seasons on the air.

Continuing the format of film criticism that was made popular by Ebert and Gene Siskel, this weekly program reviews a number of new and classic films. It didn’t find enough financial support and ended up being put on hiatus.

Eureka (Syfy)
Based on the ratings, this show was apparently too expensive to continue producing. The fifth and final season will air in mid-2012. After the cancellation announcement came down, the cable channel ordered an additional episode to allow Eureka some sort of proper finale.

Ty Pennington and his crew are getting a little rest. The network has cancelled the reality show but will still air it as occasional specials.

The second NBC series of the new fall season to be pulled, this Hank Azaria sitcom fell to a 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic, despite much stronger lead-ins. For whatever reason, audiences just rejected this one.

The peacock network delayed this sitcom until the middle of the summer, an indication that they had no faith in it. The ratings were indeed terrible and they only aired 12 of the 13 episodes.
H8R (The CW)

Hosted by Mario Lopez, this reality series matched celebrities with regular people who dislike them in the hopes of changing their perception.

This high school series was barely renewed for a second season and the ratings only got worse in year two. Despite leaving some shocking and unresolved storylines without a conclusion, RJ and his pals won’t be back.

HawthoRNe (TNT)
Starring Jada Pinkett Smith, this medical drama lasted three seasons and ended on a major cliffhanger. Sadly it’s been cancelled and won’t be back.

The sitcom did decently by most standards but CBS has big hit comedies and new ones have to meet a high standard. CBS cut the season order to nine episodes, shut down production, and shipped the show to the Saturday night graveyard. 

Ben and Cam try to make it in the fashion industry but their show didn't make it past season two.

Hung (HBO)
 Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane) may be popular with the ladies but the cable channel tiered of his company. They’ve cancelled the show after three seasons and 30 episodes. 

The cable channel has announced that season five will the last for Mary McCormack and company.

The comedy sketch show ran during the summer months and didn’t generate much interest. It’s been canned and all six episodes have aired.

Her cable show has come to an end but you can still see outspoken Behar weekday mornings on The View.

George Lopez’s sitcom ran for six seasons but his late-night talk show barely lasted two before being cancelled. 

Love Bites (NBC)
This anthology series about amour was conceived to revolve around two women in search of love. Off-camera problems created delays, what aired was very different, and most people ignored it.

Man Up! (ABC)
This series was a ratings disappointment and dropped nearly every week it was on the air. ABC pulled it after eight episodes had aired and released the remaining five online.

The Martha Stewart Show (Hallmark) NEW
The daytime show started as a syndicated series and was nearly cancelled but was picked up by Hallmark as part of a bigger deal. It wasn’t a success for Hallmark so they’ve canned it.

Jason Lee and company won’t be back for a third round of episodes. The show was cancelled after two seasons on the air.

Though beloved by some critics and viewers, this drama never caught on with a big audience and lasted just two seasons. 

The Nate Berkus Show (syndicated)
The interior designer will finish out his second season but there won’t be a 3rd year of episodes. 

This drama left viewers with cliffhangers but the ratings just weren't good enough for them to make any more episodes.

One Tree Hill (The CW)
This venerable series has continued to endure despite some major cast changes. The network decided to pull the plug following the ninth and final season of 13 episodes.

This NBC TV series stumbled right out of the gate and was pulled after three episodes. It wins the distinction of being the first network TV series to be cancelled of the fall crop. 

The Protector (Lifetime)
A drama about a single-mom police detective, this TV series never caught on with a big audience and the cable channel decided not to order a second season. 

Skins (MTV)
There was an uproar from some parents groups when this show premiered. That died off and so did viewer interest. It certainly didn’t help that many sponsors pulled their ads from the show. The cable channel cancelled it after one season.

State of Georgia (ABC Family)
The sitcom’s ratings were terrible so it was no surprise that the cable channel cancelled it after all 12 episodes had aired.

This sitcom was based on Perry’s 2008 film comedy of the same name. It lasted for five seasons and 140 installments. The series ending aired on November 18, 2011.

Wizards of Waverly Place (Disney Channel) NEW
After four seasons, the three Russo kids have competed and one was crowned as the wizard of their generation. The series finale aired on January 6th. 

Work It (ABC) NEW
This sitcom premiered to poor reviews and ratings. The numbers got even worse in week two so the network pulled it off the air. The extra episodes may surface over the summer if ABC has an empty slot.

ALCATRAZ....The New Update....


Alcatraz belum terdeteksi akan segera dalam bentuk dvd bajakan, divx atau tayang di tv kabel di sini. Karena ini karyanya Kang Abrams, maka-nya kudu wajib di ikuti perkembangannya. Mesti terus di kawal dong...

tvseriesfinale.com sebagai sumber terpercaya memang bisa di andalkan untuk mencari update terbaru. Kita simak yuk sinopsis, perolehan rating dan kelangsungan 'hidup' serial ini sambil terus berharap agar segera bisa menyaksikan langsung....

The FOX network had great success with their Prison Break series for four years. They’ve now introduced a new TV show that revolves around Alcatraz, the most famous penitentiary in the United States. Will Alcatraz run for years or will it be quickly cancelled instead?

The Alcatraz series begins with the following statement: “On March 21st, 1963, Alcatraz officially closed. All the prisoners were transferred off the island. Only that’s not what happened. Not at all.” It turns out that every prisoner in the facility mysteriously vanished and they start reappearing nearly 50 years later, looking just the same. 

FBI Agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill), Detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones), and Alcatraz expert “Doc” Soto (Jorge Garcia) work together to capture the felons and try to uncover where they’ve been. Others in the cast include Jonny Coyne, Parminder Nagra, Santiago Cabrera, Jason Butler Harner, and Robert Forster.

The FOX series debuted last Monday with a pair of episodes that averaged a 3.3 in the all-important 18-49 demographic and 10.05 million total viewers. It was the best series premiere that FOX has had this season. What’s more, there seemed to be very little erosion as the two hours progressed, a good indication that those viewers would return the next week.

And they did. It’s not uncommon to see the numbers slip by 15-20% in the second week but Alcatraz only dropped 9% in the demo and about the same in total viewers. Last night’s episode drew a 3.0 in the demographic with 9.03 million.

The show is currently averaging a 3.2 rating in the demo and 9.71 million total viewers. It’s the sixth highest rated scripted series on the network this season (out of 16) and registers a “B” on our FOX report card. It’s outperforming venerable shows like House and Bones and freshman shows like Terra Nova and The Finder.

Nah...gimana?

Wawancara Dengan J. J Abrams

Pecinta serial besutan J.J Abrams pasti sudah gak sabar dengan hadirnya Alcatraz, belum lagi rasa penasaran dengan Fringe. Oke...oke....males banget kalo di suruh menceritakan ulang lagi beritanya. Maka sekalian copy paste aja seluruh isi wawancara Collider dengan Abrams. Yuk kita simak.....

The new Fox drama series Alcatraz follows a unique trio investigating the mystifying reappearance of 302 the most notorious prisoners and guards, 50 years after they vanished. As San Francisco Police Department Detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) and Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast Dr. Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia) help government agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill) and his associate, Lucy Banerjee (Parminder Nagra), piece together the inexplicable sequence of events, they ultimately discover a much larger, more sinister present-day threat.

While at the TCA Winter Press Tour, executive producer J.J. Abrams talked about what intrigued him about the premise of this series, the changes they decided to make to the original pilot, why serialization has become a dirty word for TV, and that this was designed as episodic with an over-arcing large story and mythology stories that they’ll get to, over time. He also talked about how hopeful he is that Fringe will get renewed for at least one more season, said that Eric Kripke (Supernatural) is doing a great job developing the Revolution pilot that he will be producing, and that he is excited to be working with One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn on a show in the vein of Felicity.

Question: How did you find out about this series?


J.J. ABRAMS: Well, what happened was that we received the original script that was written by Steven [Lilien] and Bryan [Wynbrandt], who are the creators with Liz Sarnoff. They wrote a great script. The premise was awesome. It was one of those things where I heard Alcatraz, and I thought, “What the hell. How could there never have been a show about this before?” It immediately made me lean forward. And then, when we heard the premise, we wanted to keep working on it and keep developing it. Lost was ending, so I called Liz Sarnoff and begged her to read it and come on board, and she did and helped the pilot get to a place that I thought was extraordinary and really cool.

So, we got to make this pilot, and then it went from there. Knowing the changes and things we wanted to do, Liz ultimately chose to step down because she didn’t feel like she was the right person to make all the changes we wanted, but she was running the show, at that point, with Jennifer [Johnson]. So, Liz decided to help out and stay on board, but Jennifer has been running the show, and Dan Pyne came on, who has been extraordinary, as well.


How do you feel about doing another show on an island?


ABRAMS: The thing is that, in theory, any land mass is an island, so you could argue that every show ever made [is about an island]. The Mary Tyler Moore Show is much like Lost, as Alcatraz is, honestly. Jorge [Garcia] was the first person cast in Lost, and he was the first person that was cast in Alcatraz. When I met Jorge, the weird thing is that his girlfriend was obsessed with Alcatraz and was talking a lot about it because she was writing a book, and we were developing this show. I was going to talk to him about it, and she was going on about Alcatraz, so I said, “That’s cool because we’re actually working on a show. Jorge, would you want to be in this show Alcatraz?” And, he was like, “That’s cool.” 

Are you worried about the ratio of questions to answers that you’re providing to the audience, having had that problem before?

ABRAMS: Yeah, I think it’s a really good thing to learn lessons from. You can’t expect audiences to sit there asking fundamental questions for years. It’s unfair and it’s wrong, on the one hand. However, I also think that sometimes people can miss the point a little bit. Sometimes situations exist to create great stories. It’s important that we not have people asking, as a consensus, fundamental questions that we never answer. It would be cruel and unusual. So, there are lessons to learn from all past experiences. We are going to make sure that people aren’t banging their heads against the wall. But, if we answer everything at the end of Season 1, that’s never a good thing for any show. I would be lying, if I said, “Yes, by the end of the first season, you’ll know everything.” Of course not! But, it’s a multi-tiered story, so there isn’t just one answer.

What made you decide to make changes to Sarah Jones’ character, Rebecca Madsen, after doing the initial pilot?

ABRAMS: Well, one of the advantages of being a mid-season show instead of a fall show, where you have to say, “Oh, it would have been cool if we had actually had the time to make changes,” you actually can. Part of it was that we just felt like we wanted to invest more in a specific thing with Rebecca, so that viewers connected with her more and had a stronger connection to Alcatraz. There was a cool intellectual notion, but it wasn’t something that was viscerally demonstrated and dramatized in the episode. And there are a bunch of little things, too, that we realized. With the romantic interest that she had, we felt like it wasn’t really quite going with the rest of the show, and rather than say, “Well, let’s suck it up and move on,” we actually had a chance to make some changes and improve upon it. 

What is it important to you to keep your Lost actors in the fold with your other projects?

ABRAMS: Because when you are lucky enough to work with people who are great and they, for some reason, want to work with you, it’s insane not to try to cultivate that relationship and let it last, as long as possible. I’ve been very lucky to get to work with some really amazing people, in front of the camera and behind the camera, and I just try to do my best to continue that.

How will you balance doing the Star Trek sequel with Alcatraz?


ABRAMS: The truth is that I didn’t create this show. I’m a producer on it. What I’ve been trying to do is help, whether it’s reading the scripts, giving notes, giving suggestions on cuts and doing the theme music, to get it up on running. But, the truth is, whether I was doing Star Trek or not, this was a show that was always going to be run by Jennifer [Johnson] and Dan [Pyne]. This is not something that I am suddenly stepping away from and not running. They’ve been carrying the ball, not me. Of course, I’ll still read and watch and give notes, but directing a movie obviously precludes me from being involved in any greater way. But, the job was never to do more. It was always to enable. My job on this was to try to help facilitate it and give notes that they could take or leave. It really is a show that they are doing a beautiful job running, and I’m lucky to be working with them. There is no big game plan, in terms of what my involvement is in TV. It’s project to project. This was one that, when it was pitched to me, it wasn’t my idea. I just loved the pitch, and felt very lucky to get to be a part of it.

What was the most fascinating thing you learned about Alcatraz, as you got into this project?


ABRAMS: There are so many unbelievable details, even little things, like the pool table that is up in the officer’s room that happens to be exactly the same size as the cells in the prison. There are all these crazy little things. You hear about some of the stories of prisoners and the relationships they had with the guards. I learned that families lived there. Kids lived there with their families, and they would go to school in San Francisco and then come back on the ferry. It was a whole community. It wasn’t just a prison. There were families, and they would show movies there and hold religious services. On the one hand, you go, “Of course, they would do that. That makes sense,” but you don’t know that. It goes from being a mythic place, to a place where lives were lived. That was the most interesting thing.
How hard was it to get permission to shoot the pilot there?

ABRAMS: Surprisingly easy. The hardest thing was getting permission to pay for it. We’ve had amazing luck, on Fringe and on the recent Mission: Impossible movie, shooting in Vancouver. There are amazing crews and wonderful sets. On the one hand, it’s a trade-off that we don’t get to go to San Francisco as much as we’d like, but on the other hand, it’s a wonderful place to shoot.

Do you think serialization has become a dirty word in TV, these days?


ABRAMS: I think it has, which is an unfortunate situation because I do love it. A lot of serialized shows were purposefully complex and about asking big questions that they became so quickly impenetrable. I know what they’re trying to do. When there’s an authentic mystery, as opposed to just a question being asked, that’s what makes you lean forward. Usually, there’s an emotional connection to that, that makes it interesting. All I know is that I’ve made some big screw-ups, and I’ve done some things that have done all right. I just keep trying to learn from the mistakes I’ve made. At the same time, I can’t help but like shows that have an ongoing mythology. It’s the way life is. It’s a weird thing, to me, to feel like things are always just wrapped up completely. Hopefully, Alcatraz will allow things to exist over the long term, and also have a week-to-week, specific puzzle that needs to be solved. 

Is there a way to successfully serialize the show, and still make sure that people can tune in to any episode?


ABRAMS: I’ve told this story before, but years ago, when Alias was on, I went over to a friend’s house and there was an episode that was on, and I watched it. I had had a bad day and I wasn’t really focused, and I watched about four minutes of the opening and was like, “What the fuck is going on in this show? I have no idea!” Now, of course, I knew the story and I worked on it, but my heart broke for everyone I knew had to work as hard as they had to, in watching that show.

Having said that, I loved doing Alias. It was one of my favorite things. In fact, that show was really built as a serialized show. And, when we were instructed by the network, at the beginning of Season 3, to stop that, we then went to episodic shows, and I think that the show suffered for it.

Having said that, this show was designed, very much, as an episodic show with an over-arcing large story, and with mythology stories that we’d be able to get to, over time. But, the premise was that every episode is about these underdogs having to track this person down. It’s very different from the Alias SD-6 conundrum.

What’s your sense about the likelihood of Fringe getting another season?


ABRAMS: I don’t know. For some sick reason, I’m hopeful. There is some stuff coming up that is so great. They’re doing such amazing work. Maybe it’s just that dumb optimism of hoping that, when good work is done, it gets rewarded. Some of the work that Jeff [Pinkner] and Joel [Wyman] are working on now is so good that I’m just crossing my fingers it gets to continue. And, if not on Fox, maybe somewhere else. 

Has Fox given you any indication that they would give you a heads up before canceling the show, so that you can make sure things get wrapped up?


ABRAMS: I would think that, if the show was going to end, they’ve been so wonderful and incredibly supportive and really aware of the audience that they have and don’t have, I’m sure they would be courteous enough to do that.

What can fans expect from Fringe, for the remainder of this season?

ABRAMS: I don’t want to talk about anything specific that’s coming. But Joel Wyman, one of the showrunners, directed an episode that is incredibly romantic and powerful and emotional, and has my favorite combination of weird and sweet, sci-fi and romance.


Are you planning an endgame, story wise?

ABRAMS: Not in the immediate future. My dream would be that the next year would be the great ending for the show, to have one more season, but of course, any producer would say that.
How is the Revolution pilot with Eric Kripke (Supernatural) coming along?
ABRAMS: Great! I love Kripke. Kripke is killing it. He’s doing a great job. Fingers crossed. He’s turned the script into us, but we’re doing some work and it’s awesome.
And, you’re also developing a pilot with Mark Schwahn (tentatively titled Maine, and revolving around the staff and guests at an inn there)?

ABRAMS: He’s also writing, but I haven’t seen a draft of that. It is, as of yet, unread, since he hasn’t turned it in yet, but I’m loving working with him.

What made you want to work with him?

ABRAMS: I was very excited about the idea of working on a show that felt more in the universe of Felicity. This show felt like it was going back to that kind of a tenor and mood. He has had One Tree Hill on for 43 years, so it was good timing to find someone who was looking for another show and who was already very familiar with that kind of A+ level, soap opera type show. That’s what we tried to do with Felicity

Is there anything else you have in development for next season?

ABRAMS: There are a couple other things, but those are the main two. We’ll see.

Puas kan????????????

The Walking Dead Season 1 >>> Zombies Attack

  
Dulu pernah membahas sedikit serial ini saat mau akan di rilis. Kini saat season 2 sudah bergulir, kayaknya harus di bahas lagi ya, sebelum nanti menikmati episode2 season 2 yang menegangkan.
Yang patut diketahui, serial ini di besut oleh Frank Darabont yang sudah fasih membuat cerita2 seram miris dan tegang. Dan juga serial ini diangkat dari sebuah komik hitam putih . 


The Walking Dead ceritanya berkutat pada Rick Grimes, seorang polisi di kota kecil di Kentucky dan sejumlah survivors yang terjebak bersama untuk menyelamatkan diri setelah dunia hampir dikuasai oleh para zombie.

Sampai sini mungkin sudah pada paham akan di bawa kemana kisah ini. Kita sudah kenyang di sodori Resident Evil dan sequel2nya dan Lost yang misterius, dan The Walking Dead adalah campuran memikat kisah tersebut.  
(Andrew Lincoln sebagai Rick Grimes, The Sheriff)

Wajah2 familiar yang wara wiri di serial teve dan layar lebar bakal menyapa kita. Andrew Lincoln yg kerap menjadi bintang tamu di banyak serial teve kali ini menjadi tokoh sentral Rick yang beristri wanita cantik. Sang istri tidak lain si Sarah, pacarnya Scofield di Prison Break, Sarah Wayne Callies.

(Jon Bernthal sebagai Shane)

Jon Bernthal yang sudah tak terhitung jam terbangnya menampilkan akting memikat sebagai teman baik Rick dan sang istri namun terjebak dalam konflik asmara. 

(Laurie Holden sebagai Andrea)

Laurie Holden nampaknya adalah aktris favorit Frank Darabont. Akting memikatnya sering kita jumpai di beberapa film besutan sineas beken tersebut. Soal akting dan emosi, nampaknya LaurieHolden adalah jagonya saat di hadapkan pada situasi harus memilih tetap hidup dan terus berjuang atau menyerah pada keadaan.

Hanya mengemas enam episode saja, The Walking Dead membuat kita penasaran akan nasib para tokoh-tokohnya. Namun jangan berharap akan melihat aksi zombie super brutal seperti di Resident Evil. Aksi-aksi gory memang banyak, namun serial ini lebih menekankan konflik antar karakter, perjuangan hidup dan rasa kemanusiaan di saat2 genting.  
Saat episode enam ditutup dengan kegetiran, penonton setia pasti akan menunggu season berikutnya.

P.S: Serial ini awalnya hanya untuk menyambut hari Halloween saja, makanya hanya mengemas sedikit episode, namun ternyata sambutan dan ratingnya luar biasa, sehingga di lanjutkan di Halloween tahun berikutnya dengan jumlah episode standar (ala AMC)

ANGEL >>> Vampire of BONES...


Setelah marathon menyelesaikan (lagi) Nip/Tuck dari awal musim hingga akhir, akhirnya mood datang juga untuk sekedar mengintip serialnya David Boreanaz. Terus terang saja, mulai memperhatikan akting, wajah, dan tubuh David setelah menikmati enam  musim Bones walau sudah lama wara wiri di layar lebar dan televisi.

Yup, yang sudah tau serial Angel pasti langsung bilang "Halah...ini serial jadul banget masih diomongin". Hehehe...maap saja nih, dulu sempet gak merhatiin serial yg tayang di stasiun teve gak mainstream ini. Jadi salahkan saja RCTI, SCTV atau Indosiar yang tega tidak membelinya. Untungnya saat itu SCTV menayangkan Buffy The Vampire Slayer yang secara sporadis gue nikmati kalo sempet?

Loh kok Buffy? Iya, ini spin off-nya lah...

Nah, yang masih clueless dengan serial ini dan punya niat nonton, mending nonton dulu Buffy deh...

Gue blm bisa share plot dan ulasan apalah tentang serial ini karena belum nonton; cuma sekedar ngintip dulu cuma pengen tau wajah David Boreanaz beberapa tahun silam.

Ntar deh beberapa hari lagi gue share ya....

Sambutlah Spartacus Baru....!!!


Rasanya sudah cukup kita berduka atas bepulangnya Andy Whitfield. Dan Spartacus harus di lanjutkan. Walau belum juga tayang, namun berita dan poster Liam McIntyre memerankan Spartacus sudah bisa di cari dengan mudah. Dan makin penasaranlah kita dengan apa yang bakal tejadi di musim kedua yang di beri judul Vengeance.

Liam memang dikabarkan sangat keras berlatih demi mendapatkan otot yang sama dengan almarhum Andy. Bukan saja masalah otot, menggantikan Andy bukan hal gampang bagi Liam. Pesona Andy yg begitu besar dengan akting garang dan pemurung yang hebat bisa menjadi batu sandungan yang besar. Sementara wajah Liam yang menurut banyak orang tidak setampan (Liam juga sangat tampan loh) Andy nampaknya bisa menjadi persoalan. It's a big shoes to fill, mate!!

Sementara banyak yang meributkan soal pergantian estafet pedang Spartacus, banyak juga yang penasaran dengan plot. Tidak tewasnya tokoh yang diperankan Lucy Lawless, Lucretia bisa membuat percikan plot menjadi terus menyala, dan yang terus diperbincangkan orang apakan Gannicus akan tampil membantu Spartacus dan Crixus membalas dendam?

Nampaknya harus menunggu hingga Spartacus Vengeance tayang ya....

The Nine Lives of Chloe King >> Nyawa Sembilan Chloe Tak Mampu Menyelamatkan Serial Ini Dari Keganasan abc family



Rasanya seperti cuci mata ketika baru merampungkan serial drama berat, kemudian menonton serial remaja dengan pemain kinyis-kinyis dalam cerita fantasi yang tak membuat kening berkerut. 

Diangkat dari buku berjudul sama, The Nine Lives Of Chloe King membuat kita menelusuri cerita gadis muda cantik bernama Chloe King yang di umurnya yang ke 16 mendapati kenyataan bahwa dirinya adalah keturunan ras kuno dan memiliki super power layaknya seekor kucing. Mirip Cat Woman gitu ya?

Sebagai bagian dari ras bernama Mai, Chloe harus melindungi rasnya sendiri yang hampir punah dan juga ras manusia secara luas. Tugasnya ini tentu saja membuat kehidupan remajanya makin rumit. Belum lagi ada organisai rahasia yang entah kenapa berniat sekali membunuh dirinya. Chloe punya nyawa sembilan dan dia harus cermat menghitung kapan dia benar-benar akan tewas.

Dengan premis cerita seru dan pemain-pemain berwajah rupawan, rasanya tak sulit bagi serial ini mendapat tempat di hati para penikmat serial teve muda.

Berbalut cerita romansa remaja, supernatural dan sentilan sejarah suku Mai yang berbau Mesir kuno seharusnya serial ini bisa berumur panjang, namun apa daya, gempuran serial The CW yang membabi buta penuh pesona membuat serial-serial remaja abc family terseok-seok mencari penonton. Dan dengan berat hati Chloe harus menamatkan petualangnya di episode 10.

Dan itulah salah alasan mengapa banyak yang membenci stasiun teve 'abjad' tersebut yang terlalu sering semena-mena 'membunuh' serial yang tak mendapat rating bagus. Kegeraman yang sama juga terjadi saat Kyle XY tak diselesaikan setelah musim ke tiga. Huh. Ujung-ujungnya berpaling ke serial berat memikat produksi AMC atau HBO lagi sajalah...
