Charlie's Angels - Undercover

Author: Jackson, Kate

Edition: Standard Version

Details: Amazon.de Charlie's Angels isn't just a TV series from the 1970s. It's "the" TV series of the 1970s. This has nothing to do with it being particularly well written, acted, or directed. In fact, everything about this series is mediocre. But there's no TV series that captures the spirit of that decade as perfectly as this Aaron Spelling production. And no woman embodied the beauty ideal of that era more perfectly than Farah Fawcett (who at the time still bore the surname Fawcett-Majors, as she was still married to fellow TV-serialist actor Lee Majors, The Six Million Dollar Man). Her radiant smile, her incredible Wella hairstyle, her slim, feminine figure: Farah Fawcett was a role model for millions of women and the dream woman of even more men. Of all ages. It's not surprising that ratings plummeted when she left the series. "Undercover" consists of two episodes from the Fawcett era. It begins with "Ghost Train," which centers on Kelly (Jaclyn Smith), who, during a carnival outing, becomes the target of professional killers targeting an autistic child. "Ghost Train" is a rather mediocre episode. It may have seemed quite exciting in 1976 (!), the year it was made, but today it's only suitable for afternoon viewing. "Puppet Shows" is of a different caliber. Because "Puppet Shows" is pure 70s! While hunting a serial killer, the Angels, as they are called by their mysterious boss Charlie, whom we never see, are forced to participate in a fashion show. That's where the killer will strike next. The story is reminiscent in many ways of Sandra Bullock's Miss Congeniality, with the difference that the three ladies, of course, find their way around the runway perfectly from the very beginning. In terms of fashion, color schemes, and social interaction, "Puppet Play" is an amusing, even exciting throwback to the era of wide-legged trousers, Wella hairstyles, and cheesy pop music. It's truly fun to watch! --Christian Lukas Product description 2 episodes: "Tatort: ​​Geisterbahn" (Tatort: ​​Ghost Train) A carnival outing turns into a horror trip. Kelly finds herself caught in the crossfire between two hitmen and an autistic child. "Puppet Shows" (Puppet Shows) The angels reveal everything – but only almost! Undercover, disguised as cool models, they're on the trail of a serial killer.
