Charlie's Angels (2011 TV series)

Charlie's Angelsis an American reboot television series developed by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar for ABC, based upon the 1976 series of the same name created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts. The series ran on ABC from [2] September 22 to November 10, 2011. A reboot of the original show had been in the works since 2009. Although there were going to be 13 episodes to be aired, production ofCharlie's Angelsended on October 14, 2011 after airing only four episodes due to extremely [3] poor ratings and critical reviews. It burned off three of the remaining four episodes and concluded its run on ABC [4] on November 10, 2011. The show's critically negative reviews focused on its acting, plot, and action scenes. [5][6] Charlie's Angelsis currently available on DVD and Blu-ray from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Cast and characters [7]  Annie Ilonzeh as Kate Prince, a former Miami cop [8]  Minka Kelly as Eve French, a street racer  Rachael Taylor as Abby Sampson, a thief [9]  Ramon Rodriguez as John Bosley, a hacker [10]  Victor Garber as the voice of Charles "Charlie" Townsend  John Terry as Victor Sampson, Abby's Dad

Development A reboot of the original series had been announced since late 2009, when screenwriter Josh Friedman was hired to [11] write a pilot script. Friedman's script was ultimately rejected, and ABC hiredSmallvillecreators Alfred Gough [12] and Miles Millar to pen a new version. In an interview, Alfred Gough expressed his desire to avoid doing [13] anything "campy or retro." He later stated, "The characters are real and emotionally grounded, but they still like to have fun, wear great clothes, solve crime, and kick some serious ass...we hope to surprise people and bring a [13] whole new generation toCharlie's Angels." [14] Robert Wagner was set to star as Charlie, but due to scheduling conflicts, had to exit the project. After an [10] exhaustive search, Victor Garber was finally cast as the new voice of Charlie. [15] [16] Veteran television director Marcos Siega directed the pilot. Filming began in Miami on March 8, 2011. On May 13, 2011, ABC picked the project up to series. ABC later announced that the show would air Thursdays at 8:00 [17] pm Eastern/7:00 pm Central, starting at the beginning of the 2011–12 United States network television season.

Reception

Critical response [18][19][20] [21] The show received mostly negative reviews. Many reviewers criticized the acting, confusing plot, and [22] useless action scenes. Metacritic gives the show a score of 30% based on reviews from 22 critics. Matthew Gilbert ofThe Boston Globegave the show a "C" grade commenting "The underwhelming cast brings nothing to the boilerplate action. Kelly is miscast as a biker chick, and making Bosley a hunk with computer skills [23] fails to add life." IGN's Matt Fowler named the pilot the worst pilot of the fall, pointing out the bad acting and [24] writing, saying that he didn't "believe that these ladies could change a flat tire, much less take down a notorious [25] human trafficker" and that the series should have gone dark likeNikitaor copied the tone ofBurn Notice. On December 26, 2011 Hitfix.com's Alan Sepinwall listed the reboot on his "Lumps of coal: The worst TV I watched in 2011", stating "it just chose horribly wrong, with a grimm, ultra-serious take that robbed whatever campy/cheesey fun you might have expected from the brand name, and with a collection of terrible performances [26] and bad writing that undercut any attempt to give the Angels some dramatic heft."
