Critics Pan Charlie's Angels on ABC

Uh oh. The reviews for ABC’s remake of Charlie’s Angels are coming in and they aren’t good. Zap2it calls it “an unnecessary reboot” and advises “if your DVR is getting full, there are many other new fall shows you should check out before Charlie's Angels.”

The Hollywood Reporter is even less diplomatic about Charlie’s Angels, calling the writing “atrocious” and lumped it with Work It as “far and away the two worst shows of this new season.”

HitFix calls it “too dull to be sexy.” The Chicago Sun Times weighs in saying, “Charlie’s Angels is proof that angels exist in hell.” It advises watching NBC’s Prime Suspect instead, calling it “smart, well-paced procedural (yes, make room for another police procedural) that’s expertly carried by the uber-talented Maria Bello.”

Makes you miss Ugly Betty on Thursday nights doesn’t it? Will you be watching the Charlie’s Angels premiere tonight on ABC?

Meanwhile, ABC has reason to be excited about the new season. According to Deadline, The Middle and Modern Family both improved over last fall, up 11 percent and 18 percent respectively. Modern Family beat The X Factor in 18-49 demos. The debut of Revenge, its new Hampton based soap, “gave ABC its best debut in the Wednesday 10 PM time period in 4 years.”

Watch a trailers for ABC’s Charlie’s Angels and NBC's Prime Suspect after the jump and discuss the premiere in the comments after it airs.
