The original Charlie’s Angels TV show was a huge hit with TV fans during the ‘70s, then in the early ‘00s, a movie was made that also went down well. Seemingly riding a wave of renewed enthusiasm for the action show, a rebooted TV show was released in 2011.
ABC made sure everybody knew it was coming, but unfortunately, it completely missed the mark and what was once a charming and exciting TV show felt incredibly stale according to critics. Viewers soon switched off from the big-budget TV show.
