Fun series, beautiful angels, harshly & unfairly criticized
The three lead actresses were stunning, incredibly stylish and growing into their roles as Angels as Kate (Annie Ilonzeh), Abby (Rachael Taylor) and Eve (Minka Kelly). The idea of using Miami instead of Los Angeles for the location of the Townsend Agency was perfect, as colorful, exotic Miami with its beautiful skyline and Latin culture added flavor to the series. As in most series, the show, including the actresses' performances, improved (I admit, the pilot was a little over the top and was probably the main reason many critics failed to give the series the chance it deserved).

The series features lots of action and humor..plus a few underlying storylines that unfortunately will never be resolved due to the series' quick demise. Thumbs down to ABC network for that.
Unfairly criticized and prematurely hated by many critics, mostly in part to ABC's relentless chopping of long running favorite shows such as "Lost", this remake of Charlie's Angels was pure, downright fun fun fun. Devoid of convoluted sci-fi plots or overly sappy family matters drama as many viewers of ABC tend to favor, this show was about escapism and getting viewers involvement on the action packed plot twists and beautiful locations. As the show progressed week...
