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.

Pros: Ramon Rodriguez's Bosley, great video editing and music Cons: The three leads are interchangeable, Charlie sounds more like KittAs a big fan of both the original series and the feature films (which were not at all alike), I had high hopes for this remake. But, after watching the first 4 episodes, I still can't remember the characters' names.Making them all ex-cons is even worse. Why couldn't one have been a reformed criminal, while one's a former rich girl, and one a former cop disgruntled with the limitations of the law? And they don't seem to care if they ever see Charlie... which means we won't either.Meanwhile, Ramon Rodriguez's Bosley is great at action, drama, and even a taste of comedy (in the premiere episode). Of the 5 characters, he's the only one I seem to care about.In the original series, we had Sabrina the brain, Jill the tomboy, and Kelly the charmer. In the movie, we had Dylan the rebel, Alex the brain, and Natalie the free spirit. On this show, we have the African American crooked cop, the blond cat burglar, and the other one. Sorry, not good enough.As for the cute one-liners ("Don't worry, Charlie... your angels fly under the radar")? A little of that goes a long way.

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.

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.
