    Here everyone, even Bosley, seems interchangeable.

    Hey, with a name like Charlie's Angels, at least viewers have a pretty good idea of what they're going to get: action, attractive women and gorgeous locations--but not much else.

    Done without any of the smart silliness that made Drew Barrymore's 2000 movie reboot so much fun, the show is just vixen nostalgia. [17 Oct 2011, p.42]

    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.… Expand

    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.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The trailer gave me high hopes but in the end, only disappointment lasted. Acting isn't best in the business to say the least but the biggest fail is when Bosley "tracks" a hotel room with a "satellite camera" and a camera view filmed TOWARDS THE WINDOW appears on his tablet. Not to mention cheesy lines like "I never knew my hard could hurt this much". Overall, if you want a retro show done good, switch to Hawaii-Five-O.… Expand
