There is no doubt, this week’s Charlie’s Angels is way better than the premiere. “Runway Angels” gave us some surprises and let’s discuss them below.

TV Fanatic: I wasn’t thrilled with the premiere. I felt it lacked the fun of the original while degrading the characters, but as pilots can be a tricky thing to pull off, I decided to take a look at “Runway Angels” with fresh eyes. I’m glad I did.

First off, Miami is gorgeous. It’s got water, palm trees, skyscrapers, and bikinis. It’s easy to make the city look good on screen and it fits with the vibe of this show.

The characters are starting to grow on me, too,  but does anyone else want to take these girls out for a cheeseburger? They are all so very thin it’s a little scary. And what was Kate wearing at the runway in the beginning? Was she working undercover for Vice afterwards? If that outfit is high fashion then I’m out.

I’m finding this is half the enjoyment of Charlie’s Angels. Much like the original, you can poke fun at it but in order for it to work you need to care about the characters and, yes, and I’m starting to do so.

I’m curious to find out what the bad decision was that Kate made that got her booted from the police force and sent her fiance packing two weeks before their wedding. In the pilot we were told she was a dirty cop, a connotation I abhor but I’m willing to give Kate the benefit of the doubt until the show shares the circumstances of her downfall.
Kate’s ex, Ray, is certainly hot. Although I think Kate is right and it’s time to move on, I wouldn’t mind seeing Ray back again.

The investigation into a dead model involved in a green card marriage scam was twisty enough to be entertaining but still light enough to be Charlie’s Angels. We even got to see the Angels do some old school water boarding in a public restroom. One of my favorite scenes was watching the Angels yawn and sigh as Mitch gave the cliched line about being afraid for his life. It’s as though the show is making fun of itself.

I like how Ray points out that going rogue has its consequences and I’m hoping to see more of them as the show continues. I know the Angels are suppose to win in the end but interesting obstacles just add to the fun.
The Angels taking down security to save the Russian first lady was just plain silly but having enjoyed myself up to that point I was willing to overlook it.

Overall, this is a better episode for Charlie’s Angels season 1. What did you think?

The cast is great but I don’t what happened in the season 1 premiere of Charlie’s Angels. Maybe the story? Let’s discuss ” Angel with a Broken Wing.”

TV Fanatic: This new version has some fatal flaws. In “Angel with a Broken Wing,” we meet the new Angels and I’m turned off before we’ve even begun. Not by the actresses. They’re all beautiful but by the characters.

The original Angels were police officers who, given the sexism of the time, were given menial jobs such as glorified secretary and meter maid. Seeing no opportunity to do real police work, they left and went to work as private detectives for Charlie Townsend.

But, as that scenario will no longer play in modern times, these new Angels are criminals – and I have a real problem with that. Abby’s the bored rich girl turned cat burglar, Eve was an orphan turned car thief, and Kate is the worst of all, a dirty cop. Because I consider dirty cops the lowest of the low, I’m finding it hard to get past that one. I’m hoping we’ll get some back story soon to give us the reasons behind her disgraceful past.

So far, Eve is the most appealing. Played by the gorgeous and likable Minka Kelly, at least she had the hard knocks life of an orphan to explain her path to thievery. I’m thankful for that because Kelly is hard not to like.

Bosley has certainly gotten a complete make over. He’s no longer the balding, overweight uncle type looking after Charlie’s girls. Now they’ve made him this hot stud and I feel as though the character would be more interesting if he were gay. Just my opinion.

Unfortunately, even Bosley has a criminal past. He’s a high tech guru and hacker who hates the term. He stole millions from peoples’ tax returns one penny at a time. Smart? Yes, but as with everyone else in this remake, it certainly calls his character into question.

Most of the team seems to be here because working for Charlie Townsend is a better option than going to prison. It breeds a particular loyalty to their boss but it isn’t as commendable as the premise of the original.

Let’s move on to the plot. Is it great? No. It’s fluff. I did think it was cute that the human trafficker was stabbed with a wooden angel. During the party scene, our Angels masquerade as servers in red sequined devil costumes. And Abby should substitute for Spiderman on his days off given the way she climbs a building.
I wished they had taken more time assimilating Eve into this crew. They trust her much too quickly and the moment Charlie says she’s part of the team she’s completely accepted. If they’d made her acceptance a little more difficult I think it could have been more entertaining.

The best scene took place near the end when Bosley tried to convince Eve to work as an Angel. It was the most real moment of the show and the first scene where I actually felt something for these characters. Second best was when Eve took down our villain with a spinning Corvette.  I’ll admit, that was kind of cool.
The worst scene: the Angels’ reaction to Gloria’s murder. Abby’s crying made me cringe and Bosley barely moved. The car bomb just didn’t pack the emotional punch it should have.

There’s lots of girl power here and I’m all for that. That’s half the reason why I watch most anything Joss Whedon ever does. Of course, the other half is that his writing is in a whole other league than anything you’ll see here. And for all of the Angel high kicks and martial arts moves, none of it left me satisfied.
