Fall Premiere Pilot Review: Charlie’s Angels (F)
Charlie’s Angels (ABC)
I don’t think I even have the heart to get into the ineffable levels of oppressive gender problems that is the Charlie’s Angels remake, this show pretty much exemplifies everything that is wrong with Hollywood. Just don’t watch it.
Although, it does provide me the opportunity to express my frustration about the way technology is used on television. There are so many forms of innovative tech in the world today, and even more that is under development, so why can’t TV shows use realistic portrayals of tech!? It would be cool, I promise. There was much screaming in my house when Bosley tapped into a satellite to view into a hotel room… with his iPad (is there an app for that? I don’t think so). And don’t get me started on the much overused “enhance” photo. There is only a limited amount of data in video footage, you can’t just zoom in and get a crystal clear shot of someone’s face.
As for the rest of the show, I think my series of tweets while watching it generally sums up my take:
Will absolutely NOT watch again
