I remember the original Charlie's Angels - yeah I know- showing my age :) and it was pretty awful. Haven't even bothered with the movies. I'll probably pass on this too. I just don't see the point in reviving old shows.
The original Charlie's Angels had very little redeeming value and was part of Aaron Spelling's and the 70's "Jiggle TV". The movies updated it and added some humor, but took the worst part of action movies (terrible over-the-top stunts and unrealistic fight scenes) and combined it with the worst aspects of buddy movies and the "girl power" movement.
I love female leads (give me Nikita or Lost Girl), but the idea of changing Angels from 3 undercover agents into some sort of bad ass Bond-esque trio like the movies is just ridiculous and not my cup of tea. Honestly, I'd rather drink Jones' Kool-aid .....

Minka looks great here. Not sure I'm looking forward to the series though but I will give it 1 or 2 episodes
ReplyDeleteI like it, but still not watching the show.
ReplyDeleteI remain unaffected. When does Nikita start? :)
ReplyDeleteYou can find find that one and another in HQ at my Minka Kelly site http://minka-k.net :)
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the link :)
ReplyDeleteUnless it gets great reviews, I'll pass on this one. Not much to the poster either.
ReplyDeleteI got room for this in my schedule. It will be hard not to compare it to the old series and the movies.

ReplyDeleteI like the posters :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like this is going to be "Eastwick" all over again, lots of buzz and cancelled after only a few episodes...

These posters take pretty girls in pretty outfits and make them look terrible.
ReplyDeleteNot coincidentally... I expect Charlie's Angels to do the exact same thing- Take pretty actresses in pretty outfits and make a terrible series.
