Charlie’s Angels
Thursdays at 8:00 starting on September 22
Starring: Annie Ilonzeh (General Hospital), Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights), Rachael Taylor (Dr. Lucy Fields on Grey’s Anatomy), Ramón Rodríguez (The Wire)
Plot: A thief, a cop, and a street racer get into trouble, but Charlie gives them a second chance. They solve crimes for their new employer, whilst looking sexy. Come on, you know the drill.
Why We Are Excited: Drew Barrymore is producing and we like her. This is one of the most anticipated shows for most of the American audience. It’s a reboot of something popular, and girl spies are fun.
Why We Are Not Excited: It looks stupid, and Minka Kelly isn’t a good casting choice. She’s too stiff and boring to be likeable or edgy. Plus, we already have Hawaii Five-O, and we stopped watching that a long time ago (even though that was alright). This is a little too “usual” for us. We want original.

Anticipation Score: 3/10

Totally agree the Minka Kelly looks to be a little miscast here. I think she's the kind of pretty that women love to hate. Drew Barrymore does great girl power stuff, though!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly it. She's not "girl-friendly pretty." She needs to stick to guys' TV shows and movies, or she needs to embrace it and play mean girls in romantic comedies and just do it well.
ReplyDeleteIn this part, she has a past that is supposed to make people feel sorry for her, but she is "strong" and a "tomboy." So it's a part that girls should like filled by an actress they'll hate. Bleck.
