She Spies 2 · LINKS

The new NBC spy comedy "She Spies" is so bad I was paralyzed for an hour after watching it. And though my manservant, Xavier, did his toady best to entertain me during my paralysis by singing Broadway tunes, making balloon animals and offering his belly for me to scratch, the trauma lingered long after I could move my delicious toes.

I guess it's supposed to be a kinda "Charlie's Angels" meets "Alias" meets "Ally McBeal." Three sexy, ditzy ex-felons (Natasha Henstridge, Kristen Miller and Natashia Williams) are recruited by the feds to be spies in return for their freedom. Gee. How original. – MJ Wilde

... I was subjected to one of the worst 60 minutes of television ever aired. The cringe-inducing dialogue is off the charts. Even my cat was embarrassed. She gave me a disgusted look and then took off to stare at a wall in the next room. I can't say I blamed her. Even the ass-kicking was boring. I would have thought that with all the money they saved by hiring such shitty writers, they could have splurged for some high quality stunt doubles. But the fight scenes were too few, too far between, and not even remotely exciting. Then there is DD (Kristen Miller) the hacker (let me just say that I have met a few hackers in my day and they most certainly were not skinny, blonde or expertly coifed). Lastly we have the token ethnic chick, Shane (Natashia Williams), who has excellent kung fu fighting skills...or something. There is also some "Charlie" type of nerd guy who gives them orders. He has less sex appeal than a doorknob. The Maven –

Though evocative of Pamela Anderson's departed "V.I.P.," "She Spies" is more spoof, less straightforward action/ adventure show. [The cast] seem to be in on the joke as the writers poke fun at Hollywood convention and themselves. – John Levesque

male abashing "They are cloaking this with the label that it is a spoof, so any criticism will be hard pressed to stick."
They would be the sneaky men who created the programme and write the scripts.

post-feminine oats "One would hope that with 20 years of feminism extending between the '70s trio of sassy agents and the girls of the new millennium's 'She Spies,' there would have been some progress in how strong women are represented on screen. 'She Spies' does more than fall flat; it actually recreates a pre-feminist scenario. Instead of jiggling boobies, we have a more up-to-date, jiggle-free version of hard-bodied breasts and cleavage."
PopMatters, apparently not as much as pop social commentary denouncing the evil male establishment.
