Here everyone, even Bosley, seems interchangeable.
The underwhelming cast brings nothing to the boilerplate action. Kelly is miscast as a biker chick, and making Bosley a hunk with computer skills fails to add life.
Brilliant show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't get enough of this show (y) and okay i wasn't around to watch charlies angels in the late 70 's early 80 's but i have been watching it on watch series and i can see where people are coming from where it's need work but still i think it's brilliant we are seeing more into the angels past also i think it's amazing to bring a such an icon show back to inspire people :) i have been inspired by this show now and when it was on when i have watched on watch series :)
Perhaps it would be interesting to have the users/critics age, sex, occupation, etc be displayed beneath their comments as I am sure it would clear up a few iristinized standards, but are these not the entitled target audience anyway. Nevertheless, I will say that the show needed a bit of nudity to compensate for the drelauntious style. In regards to the future of disnation, one would be wise to remember the amount of people it takes to actually get a show pulled in the first place.
The writing is glib (the term "cat fight" is actually used) and the action relies more on gadgetry than "Mission Impossible." However, the women all look great.
Charlie's Angels is as absurd as the original 1976-81 series that launched the careers of Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett (and her hair).
[The original series] had energy and glamour and a self-aware sense of frothy fun, all of which are missing from this lugubrious update.
It's not just a lazy idea, it's atrociously executed, pathetically acted and cynically conceived.
They come off as interchangeable affirmative-action figures who make Farrah and company look like early suffragettes who fought for the jiggle rights we now take for granted.
wouldnt say it was really a 10 but the show was pretty good....some ass kickin, cheesy lines, sexy **** not mad men, its charlies angels, i liked it.
It wasn't a good pilot but it definitely wasn't the worst . as i said earlier that Minka Kelly is the hottest Angels of all and she really proved it . Rachael did good then i expected .But Annie was off . But i think Ramon was so bad ! I thought "New" Bosley will be good but the old ones was funny , charming and its impossible for Ramon to pass them .But the worst thing of the pilot was the low minded story . The writer have to think really hard to make good stories . i don't want it to be canceled .....i really don't !
Thirty-five years after their first appearance, the Angels are back again, except re-modernized, recast, and rebooted. It's certain that the 2011 update of CHARLIE'S ANGELS had potential to be a decent thriller. The season premiere ("Angel with a Broken Wing") opened by playing an excerpt of the dance-pop song "S&M" by Rihanna, and I was hoping that little intro would be (somehow) misleading. There are some thrills in this show, but overall, they are taken over by the techno mood (and music); the Angels' sense of fashion; and enough iPad 2s, hi-tech automatic weapons, and dazzling fashion to make it look like it was updated into the future, make it unrealistic, and cause the whole show to come across as mediocre.
I only watched episode and WOW it was TERRIBLE. Sure it has the typical things you'd come to expect from Charlie's Angels: the hot girls, the lavish locations, but the acting is just awful. The only one who was remotely good was Rachael Taylor, but even the script let her down. There was no real aggression to any of the girls and it was really confusing. Seriously, what does blackmailing and killing supermodels have to do with the Russian First Lady? At the end of the day, this is badly scripted and acted tripe.
This is really bad. I hope this gets cancelled before all its episodes run. Garbage acting and even sillier tech (satelites zomming in rooms laterally!). Its silly plot lines are bound to get sillier. With a pilot thats impossible to stomach, this is truly the tv's e-coli.
