Possibly this is one of the worst TV series of the 90'es. At least it is the worst I've seen on Danish and German channels in recent years, and I have seen quite a few. The title sequence is OK, but everything before and after is essentially amateur hour on a medium budget.
`V.I.P' is a mixture of phoney semi-violent action and silliness with repetitive paper-thin, nonsensical storylines and seems to be played mainly by models and musclemen, sometimes with a mediocre car chase thrown in. As if it wasn't bad enough, the episodes generally run out of steam (so little there is) about midway, too.
One of the girls in the bodyguard firm V.I.P. is Pamela Anderson who after all was a major asset in `Baywatch', but here she appears completely bubble-headed. (Did Tommy Lee really hit her SO hard or has she just no dignity?) Actually the series is so full of ludicrous cardboard characters that it is almost impossible to tell one episode from another. Although the girls are babing it up, it doesn't really help plotwise, and the bad guys appear as dim-witted (often pony-tailed/CLICHÉ) beefcakes straight out of the gym. The acting abilities in general come close to a wooden Indian's.
And by the way. Would anyone potentially in peril ever dream of hiring female bodyguards who perform their assignments in tight evening dresses or skirts AND high heels? None of which is suitable for a high-speed foot pursuit or just for moving swiftly. Wherever they go, the V.I.P. girls don't exactly blend in, too, so the clients might as well blow their own brains out right away.
Don't look for class in this sorry mess. The only one, you would perhaps come across, would be a school class passing by in the background.
