The TV Chick

Chloe King is just your average, quirky 16 year-old trying to navigate through high school. Except for this one little thing. It turns out she’s a descendant of the Mai — an ancient race that hails from the Bastet, and possesses cat-like abilities/powers. Did I also mention that she has nine lives and is the Uniter of the Mai to protect them from human assassins and she had no idea until her 16th birthday? Cat powers are probably pretty awesome until you learn that any (human) boy you kiss will probably die. Chloe learns of her fate through two Mai who have been watching her at school: Alec and Jasmine. Naturally, she’s a little shocked by the revelation. And then there’s Brian, her new crush, whose Dad somehow is associated with the Rezza Capital (Mai enemies I’m guessing) and has hired someone to make sure Chloe King dies (nine times to make it stick of course). There’s a lot of mythology in one premiere, I know, but it’s important in order to set up what’s to come.

My love for ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars knows no bounds. So I was super excited to receive the first season on DVD and re-watch all the twists and turns, and of course, A’s manipulative ways. Pretty Little Liars returns this Tuesday, June 14th, so it’s a perfect time to re-watch or catch up with any episodes you might have missed.

When we last left our favorite FBI agent and former con-man, they had arrested their foe of the season, Vincent Adler, and watched a warehouse full of very expensive Nazi art explode. Or so we thought. The season three premiere, titled “On Guard,” picks up right where we left off, but the relationship between Peter and Neal has changed significantly. Peter finds a piece of charred painting that he saw on Neal’s easel prior to the explosion, and suspects the worst (i.e. that Neal stole the art). The premiere episode focuses on that suspicion, as well as Neal’s struggle with his former self. I’m not going to spoil too much and tell you who did steal the art, but your questions will be answered in the very beginning of the episode.

My love for ABC Family’s programming is just about equal to my love for CW programming. Translation: I adore it. While fall TV season may be over for a while (sad!), the summer season is just heating up. ABC Family has some great new shows, and the first to premiere is Switched At Birth. The shows stars Vanessa Marano (you may recognize her as April Nardini from Gilmore Girls) as Bay Kennish. Bay grew up in a wealthy family with a brother and two parents but always felt different from her family. Enter Daphne Vasquez (played by newcomer Katie Leclerc), who grew up in a working class neighborhood with her mother and grandmother. She contracted meningitis at a very young age and is now deaf. It turns out there was a mistake at the hospital where they were born, and they were, as the title would imply, switched at birth. Now, the two families must learn to co-habitate and figure out their respective roles in each other’s lives. I know what you are thinking: this has been done before…in movies, in TV shows, etc. And yes, it has been. But not like this.

I am all about the teen angst television shows. If you throw an element of the supernatural in there, I am pretty much sold. So I was incredibly intrigued when I heard about the new MTV series Teen Wolf. It is a re-make of the 1985 movie, and the second attempt at a television series adaptation (the first one was done in the 80s). Relative newcomer Tyler Posey stars as Scott McCall, a high schooler who’s not exactly the leader of the pack (pun fully intended). Then he gets bitten by a werewolf and his life is changed. Sounds a bit campy/done before, I know. And if we were to choose a who wins the best werewolf prize…right now I’d probably give it to Tyler Lockwood (our favorite Mystic Falls/TVD werewolf) or Jacob (from Twilight, don’t hate), but Tyler Posey still makes a pretty damn good werewolf.
