By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Man....man oh man. I'd never heard of this show until it came out on DVD, but it sounded interesting in the reviews and comments I read. It sounded like a goofy Charlie's Angels parody with elements of the old Monkees TV show and Get Smart thrown in. However, I found that I could only make it through the first ten minutes of the second episode. It was just too painfully unfunny. I mean the women could have done the whole series in the nude and I think two episodes would have been my limit. I'm not familiar with the writers credited with this lump, but they give every impression of being old washed up showbiz hacks of the worst kind--I mean their idea of hipness were references to Tricky Dick Nixon and the old Gary Cooper movie "Shane." Did they think that anyone under 45 would get those gags? And even if they did, should the writers have had any reasonable expectation that said gags would actually be funny? (hint: the answer is no).But the dated nature of the humor wasn't even the real killer for me. The main thing that made it so painful was that the show was aiming so desperately and so often to be funny, but kept missing the mark upon each and every attempt. It was like the guy at the party who has no business telling jokes, but compulsively tells them anyway, ad nauseum. You know the kind of guy I mean--he tells jokes because he thinks that being funny will make people like him, so he tells one after the other to anyone who will listen. Trouble is, he got all the jokes out of an old joke book and has no natural sense of humor, so he just parrots out a bunch of dead-on-delivery gags, laughs at them himself because no one else will, and keeps going until his dullness clears the room. That's what this show did to me. Even with hot chicks, it cleared the room with its dullness. Freak. N. PAINFUL.

Came across this on the IMDb and was able to get hold of the first series on DVD.Finally a crime set that does not take itself seriously all the time. Beautiful Women fighting baddies with laughs abound, what more can you ask. As opposed to Charlie, Jack the one in charge, is not the Know all been there done that agent, but is on the same learning experience and is often the subject of light hearted banter, which he just takes in his stride. Without spoiling it for anyone who has not seen She Spies, all I can say is bully your TV companies into screening this or get the DVD'sI cant wait to see series 2 on DVD (Thank goodness for multi-region players).

I think the show is hot and creative. It's not another "Charle's Angeles" knock off for sure. It makes me ill when I read about other people comparing this show to "CHARLE'S ANGELS," just because they are 3 female spies. GET OVER THAT FEMALE STERIO TYPE. The "Charle's Angels" movies focused on a fun fill comedy more than anything, the fighting scenes where mostly unrealistic and they pretty much hung for jump lines had body doubles to impress those without a realistic state of thinking or children. But She Spies fighting scenes are more realistic with hard martial arts training to actually learn how to defend themselves (or at least make it look that way). If you want to compare that to "Charles Angels" consider this, imagine the choreography in CA's choagraphy, doesn't that remind you of a popular children's TV show: "POWER RANGERS?" Anyway, A lot of the inventions/gadgets the the She Spies use are somewhat unrealistic or seem waaaay to cool to ever have but it's television. The idea of 3 career felonists becoming Government Agency spies (w/ limited privileges) who are serving their sentences in this way, is a bit functional, especially since they all happen to look like they just come from a Playboy photoshoot. I like the punch lines, the scripts are moderately written, dialoge is pretty predictable and the idea of foreshadowing into future episodes isn't clear at all. In my city, the station that the show is shown on isn't a very popular station as far as exclusive or "hit show" programs because it previously was own by WB but was sold out to someone else. So of course its the show doesn't get much attention as it would if it was on NBC, WB, FOX etc. If the show ever made it to one of those major networks with a respectable prime time time slot I do admit the producers would have to get a little more creative as far as characters, scrips and plots. But still if you want a show that entertains you for a little bit of comedy and action it's a premium choice show.

I suppose I could write an in-depth review, but instead I'll just say this: the writing is pretty funny, the show is fast-paced, and the ladies seem to be having a good time. Yes, they break the fourth wall a bit too often, but if you are able to just sit back and let yourself have fun with it, this show may be worth your while.
