Charlie's Angels

The lady's look nice, I give em that much, but the rest... seriously?

Lame props, ridiculous screens on the tab, boring fight scenes, a satellite camera that zooms in from the side, and into the hotel room where the hostage lies bound and gagged? Come on!

And by the way: Bosley? Did you put him in so the girlfriends or alleged power-women watching can have something to look at too?

Another sad attempt to make a buck with something that did work very well in the past.

Putting young good-looking girls/boys on the screen might get people to tune in, but after that some substance and quality might be a good idea.

Go get the original, or at least the crappy movies.

I'm a middle-aged man COMPLETELY in love and obsessed with Minka Kelly, but this show was so bad I almost turned it off before her character had even been introduced. The plot was complete nonsense to the point of frustration. Dialog was inane. Back-stories made no sense, and the acting was horrific (except for Minka, who wasn't fantastic but was a heck of a lot better than the other cast members).

I obviously came into it ready to love it. Despite my infatuation, even I am not sure I could stomach another episode. I'll guarantee this isn't on TV anymore by Halloween at the latest. Minka - find something better to do! You deserve better writing! At least I have all the seasons of Friday Night Lights on DVD to comfort me, or maybe I'll keep watching Charlie's Angels (during its short life) with the TV on mute.

Can't think of how a network could let this go to air. Corny writing bad acting terrible set design. Better money spent on reality non scripted stuff than this. Hope they don't commit to more than the min episodes Fake tears bad effects. Bad acting again and again doesn't get better just worse the longer you watch it. Maybe Tom Arnold isn't busy and can do a cameo spot or carrot top. don't see how it could get such a high score unless all cast and crew voted. And may be all their families and so on and so on..... Will give it one more hour that I will never get back and see if it improves. I can only write so much about this waste of air time to fill 10 lines. But maybe this is just what the USA needs to keep them distracted from the real world...

This show owes more to the James Bond series and The Bionic Woman than the TV series which bears its name. It's about three superwomen who easily solve complex cases that law enforcement and intelligence agencies are unable to crack. They seem to have superhuman powers. In one scene, a secure door to a five star hotel is easily kicked in by one of the private detectives. They speak multiple languages. They have no trouble hacking into the most secure computers. At times, evidence falls into their laps so conveniently, they don't need to do any detective work. They easily overpower trained thugs and bodyguards who are twice their size, and they do it without messing up their designer clothes and make-up. I realize this isn't supposed to be literal reality, but it could at least be believable. Problem is, this is so unreal, it could be a Saturday morning cartoon. I'm not saying there aren't any tough women. With the proper fitness and combat training, a woman can kick some serious ass. But the stuff shown could only be done by soldiers with special forces training. It never even begins to be credible.

I'm aware that the new Charlie's Angels TV series has received a lot of negative reviews and I've met several people who don't like it. But I like the new Charlie's Angels TV series, in fact I think it is action packed and suspenseful. I like the fact the Bosley is a young man instead of a middle-aged man like he was in the original TV series.

Rachel Taylor, Minka Kelly and Annie Ilonzeh are all very good an the Angels. I also like the fact that all three of these women have a criminal past and that they have been given a chance at redemption by working for Charlie as private detectives.

Each episode I've watched has been quite suspenseful and action packed. I especially liked the episode "Angels in Chains" which is based on an iconic episode of the same name from the first season of the original series.

For those of you who haven't watched the original Charlie's Angels TV series I'll explain. In the original series episode of "Angels in Chains" the Angels get themselves into a women's prison in the country to investigate the death of an inmate. There they discover that the nearby small town sheriff along with the prison warden are having young women arrested and imprisoned on trumped-up violations. The women are enslaved until they become prostitutes in exchange for early release.

In the new Charlie's Angels episode "Angels in Chains" the Angels go to Cuba to investigate the disappearance of a young female American tourist. So the Angels pose as pose as unsuspecting American tourists. Upon their arrival at the Cuban Hotel the Angels are framed of drug possession and thrown into a women's prison, where their key victim, Tess, is also incarcerated. The Angels learn that a corrupt American capitalist is working with the prison warden and is having young female American tourists imprisoned and then used as prostitutes as a part of his business deals. Bosley joins forces with his ex-girlfriend, CIA operative Samantha Masters, to free the Angels and the other wrongfully imprisoned women. So I think the "Angels in Chains" episode is a great homage to the original series episode.

So once again I like the new Charlie's Angels TV series and I will continue to watch every episode of it and recommend this show to people.
