Charlie's Angels arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The set pieces are impressive, but it is the story underneath them that gives Charlie's Angels its staying power. Beautiful, intelligent, and ultra-sophisticated, Charlie's Angels are everything a man could dream of... And way more than they could ever handle! Receiving their orders via speaker phone from their never seen boss, Charlie, the Angels employ their incomparable sleuthing and combat skills, as well as their lethal feminine charm, to crack even the most seemingly insurmountable of cases. The physicality Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd bring elevates every sequence. 5 seasons (1976–1981) gave the story room most shows never get. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
