Movie critic Mike LaSalle finds that the two sets of "Angels" have different hair ratios and seduction techniques. He also says: "View the old TV show today and something unexpected becomes obvious. What's remembered today as campy — and was thought of at the time as a big joke — turns out not to have been that big a joke after all. Nineteen years after the show's cancellation and more than 20 years since its ratings heyday, it's striking how well these women were presented."

"Physically strong and supernaturally enhanced women have a long history in American pop culture: think back to Rosie the Riveter and Wonder Woman. But there have never been so many," writes the NY Times' Jennifer Steinhauer. "This season's television lineup offers a half-dozen tough gals."
