SnoopyStyle Dirty cop Kate Prince (Annie Ilonzeh), cat burglar Abby Sampson (Rachael Taylor), and Gloria work for the mysterious Charlie Townsend in Miami fighting crime outside the law enforcement with the help of hacker John Bosley (Ramon Rodriguez). When Gloria is killed by a car bomb, they investigate Eve French (Minka Kelly) who turns out to be Gloria's childhood friend and a car thief.Instead of concentrating on creating compelling characters, this show is more interested in a dark convoluted Miami Vice. The girls are hot but the characters lack interest. Eve is suppose to be a car thief. It's the perfect opportunity to start the show with a fun car chase. The show needs to start with her personality and her story before getting recruited by Charlie. Minka Kelly's acting is still in question. I don't recall if she even drives in the show. The girls start without any rooting interest and fail to improve. They are empty models with bravado. It's action without any fun. There is no joy here. It was canceled after four episodes with only eight overall. The franchise started as jiggle TV, transformed into irreverent action movies, and stalled into unengaging action TV.

Desertman84 Charlie's Angels is a remake of the popular TV show back in the 70's of the same title.It stars Annie Ilonzeh,Minka Kelly and Rachael Taylor as the new female detectives Kate Prince, a former Miami cop; Eve French, a street racer; and Abby Sampson, former thief respectively together with Ramon Rodriguez as John Bosley, a hacker; and Victor Garber as the voice of Charles "Charlie" Townsend. The show was developed by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar for ABC.However,it only ran for 8 episodes after ABC decided to cancel it after the fourth episode due to its very low ratings.The show got panned to early and it barely lasted ten episodes.Why? The reason is simple.The show had too much glamour that the producers forgot all about the acting,writing and action scenes.Also,it never realized that it is living off one of the best TV shows back in the 70's that it forgot the reputation and expectations that it has to live on.Back in the 70's,the show was about capitalizing on women being able to do police work.But in the remake,it was basically about looking great on the TV screen and nothing more.Even the funny Bosley was re-written to be a heartthrob to make women scream.While I must admit that the original also did rely on glamour but not too much as it made sure that the episodes will provide joy,delight and entertainment to the viewers without insulting their intelligence. The same cannot be said of the remake.

eddiewareing I gave it a 2 instead of 1 because it has had some money spent on it & the angels look nice, but the acting? the baddies were oh so bad (the underlings had tattoos) the "tough" angel didn't get on with the "new" angel, although everyone & their mother knew they would end up the best of friends by the end. maybe they made it childish as a kind of homage to the original series, if so it backfired on them, in my opinion anyway. things like opening a high tech safe (which works off a fingerprint to which they don't have the finger) in about 10 seconds really gets my goat, I've only watched the first episode, maybe it got better, but unlikely to watch any more, one was enough for me, so check other posts if you want a review of the series

franklinlapaz I have to say this show kicks ass and it reminds me so much about what Miami is. It does have a little twist of CSI: Miami kick to it but other than that it kept me watching the show. The girls are hot, fresh, and dangerous! I hope there's a second season in the works and I would like to work on this show! The performance is somewhat charm, sexy, and smart. Rachel Taylor is a fun, quirky, blonde, smart woman, and I hope they keep her. I like Minka Kelly because she's a tough woman. And don't forget Annie, who's good at solving problems in a sexy mode. All these angels are badass and this show is too much fun to watch. I love the shots of Miami because it reminds me a little piece of home. I love the beauty of this movie and how everyone portrays the lifestyle of Miami. This show shouldn't deserve a 4.5 but at least a 7.0 or higher. I give it a 10 because it's been awhile since I watched a good action TV series since CSI: Miami. Well, CSI: Miami kind of died on me, lol, so this show really kicks ass. The story line is a 8.0 out of 10 and it can improve a lot better down the long run but the girls are 10 out of 10.
