TV Show – Charlie’s Angels – S01E01

A revamped movie franchise wasn’t enough as Charlie’s Angels returns to TV in what I would not call eagerly awaited. We get it girls can kick ass, but they are still the bottom rung of the agency – managed day to day by bosly and given task by Charlie.

How many TV shows can there be of criminals making a team to fight the good fight? The story of Charlie’s angels is well known by anyone that has heard of a television so a revamp has to be something special to eclipse the movies and classic TV show. This offering does not come close. Sure there is a little question to be asked when one of the angels dies early on, but it doesn’t change anything as the girls quickly find a friend to take her place. The agency is 1970s and the technology is 2010s, the dialouge is childish and emotion is void. In my opinion not enough has been changed and updated to make me watch this and the only possible reason to watch is for the girls. I don’t think this will be around for long, and definitely not in my world.
