User Reviews

Hot babes who kick butt and take names, can't hate that!

Natasha Henstridge, Kristen Miller and Natashia Williams star as three convicted criminals who now work for the government to exonerate themselves. At first, the show began with dozens of pop-ups, scrolls, and slates which were part of the story. They added a spritz of Mad Magazine to the mix, but they would have worn very thin over time so they were disposed of. Then there were loads of inside jokes and jabs, so many that you must keep an ear open. Then the show was revamped by season two and they got a different, deadly serious and enigmatic boss. The show became far less goofy, and more reliant on action and acting.

Without the pop-ups and other junk, the show relied solely on its lovely ladies' acting abilities. That's right, the three leads are a little more talented, and ultimately more enticing than TV's Charlie's Angels.

At first the writing was funny, intelligent, and verbose, kind of a mix of Charlie's Angels and Moonlighting. The ladies deserved a lot of credit and attention for performing so well.

I still liked "She Spies" when I could find it. NBC showed it first to attract an audience before it went syndicated, but they never sold it properly, sticking it in a Saturday night slot. Too bad, cuz it had the potential to be a huge hit. They even wrote into the show that even its time slot was uncertain.
