Short summary

Based on a teleplay from the original "Charlie's Angels" series, the girls must break out of jail in their quest to crack a case. This time, they pose as unsuspecting American tourists to crack a kidnapping ring in Cuba. Upon arrival at the hotel, they are framed and thrown into a women's prison, where their key victim, Tess, is also incarcerated. Bosley joins forces with his ex-girlfriend, CIA operative Samantha Masters, but is this partnership something more?

    70's T&A is updated, to 21st century T&A.

    This show - which was a terrible, guilty pleasure then, is now just...terrible. My rating is ONLY for the kitsch value.

    I watched this one episode, and, that was plenty. It seems ABC has cancelled this clunker a couple of days ago.

    Acting - what 'acting?' Trees are insulted by it's wooden-nes. Writing - it's throw-a-dart, MAD-LIB style. I give Victor Garber - as the unseen Charles Townsend the biggest approval - and, considering he's not even seen, and does more acting than what is -well, that says a lot.

    The clothes, and scenery are nice.

    Unfortunately, Hollywood has NO ability to innovate - just, recycle. What's next - MR. BELVEDERE '12?

    This pile of compost is better off as that.

    Angels In Chain is a revival a classic episode of original Charlie's Angels. In the old series,we get to see Sabrina,Jill and Kelly locate a client's sister by submitting themselves into a prison farm.In this new short lived series,we get to see Kate,Abby and Eve land themselves in a Cuban prison as they try to crack a kidnapping ring.Hunk John Bosley partners with his CIA ex-girlfriend to rescue them.Apparently,it was in this episode when ABC decided to cancel the show.The viewer would not be surprised.

    In the old series,the episode became a classic due to the fact Kelly,Jill and Sabrina proved themselves to be capable of doing police work and being capable and competent of doing it.Hence,the show became very popular in its first season.Also,they moved away from glamor by "de-glamorizing" themselves by looking dirty in prison clothes and do the dirty work that detectives do.

    The same cannot be said of the new series as glamour is once again emphasized.The participation of Bosley's ex-girlfriend and model- like CIA agent Samantha Masters proved just that.While the presence of gorgeous and sexy actress Erica Durance will provide a treat to the audience,it only lowered the show's integrity about the female police detectives of doing police work.Sad but true.
