Has been improving since the pilot....


I've been enjoying the show more since the pilot, the episodes seem to be improving as the show goes on. I'm a fan of the original show and the movies so I was willing to give it a shot even though I felt the pilot was very weak, and the acting was just ok to out right terrible! Let's hope that the show keeps getting better before ABC decides to cancel it. I do think if people hadn't seen that pilot (Why would anyone greenlight that pilot is beyond me)and had seen episode 2 first it would have stronger ratings.

Out of the three Angels
Rachael Taylor as Abby Sampson has been the best I liked her undercover work in the second episode the one problem is her background is so dumb as the Rich Girl who becomes a cat-burglar is just plan ridicules and insulting to the audience.

Annie Ilonzeh as Kate Prince is just ok I don't know why they've focused the most on her background as the dirty cop who lost everything and is trying to redeem herself. Two episodes have already been focused on this and I felt nothing for it, I don't know why they keep draging it out so much.

Minka Kelly as Eve French um where do I start.... she's pretty to look at but that is about it. Her acting is ridicules and that South American accent or Twang that comes in and out whenever she remembers to use it is just mind boggling. Her character's background is the worst and I better stop now before it becomes a book.

I feel they should have fixed the Angels backgrounds before the pilot aired and have cast someone else as the Street tough Angel. I do hope that the original Angels from the 70s series make appearances this includes Tanya and Shelly since they are part of that universe.

I agree. The show is getting a lot better. The pilot was very average and the hype was huge for the show and I think that made a lot of people tune out. It's a shame that ABC pulled the plug before letting the show find it's footing. Fingers crossed that another station will pick it up.

Maybe if they had not put it on a day which was already overloaded with programs it might have had a chance.


I liked it myself.
