Angela's Eyes

anyone watched it? Really good show, good concept and great lead acress

Bart Van Hemelen...

If you don't watch much TV. Otherwise, it's a pretty bad one.

Bart Van Hemelen...

I was bored with it 5 minutes in. Then it was waiting for her to screw
up yet another potential relationship, and of course there's the big
mystery. I barely made it through ep. 1.

who's carrying the entire show by herself at the moment.

I have been watching and enjoying the series. And I agree, the lead
actress is really holding the entire concept together. Somehow, she
manages to impress upon the viewer (or at least me) that she is
actually seeing and noting every detail in order to decide if someone
is lying or not. That said, I am a little concerned about having her
parents be the Ethel and Julius Rosenberg of this generation. It can
only be taken so far; the same can be said for her troubles with her
brother.

Anyway, the three episodes to date have been enjoyable. And whoever
plays Angela is cute.

BTR1701...

She's cute but every time they bust in a door, looking for a crook, I
laugh. I don't buy her at all as a cop, let alone FBI. She comes off as
a little girl playing at being a cop.

If someone hasn't watched it, they may not be able to find it since
you didn't say which network or cable channel airs the program.

Can you name the lead actress?

Barry Margolin...

Lifetime on Sunday nights. The star is named Abigail Spencer, I don't
recognize her from anything. Her IMdb entry lists some one-shot guest
star roles and a handful of movies I've never heard of.

altec3220...

It airs Sundays at 10:00 PM ET (followed by a midnight repeat) on
Lifetime. Abigail Spencer stars as Angela.

Laddy...

Lifetime, the gal's network, Sunday at 10et and again at 12et.

The actress is Abigail Spencer

Bart Van Hemelen...

Because the rest of the actors have next to nothing to do. It's all
about her, which makes it so ridiculous.

eatfastnoodle...

This show feels like The Inside, another cop show focusing on the
special ability and past trauma of a female detective, I'm afraid
Angela's Eyes will get the same treatment as The Inside, that is being
cancelled pretty quickly, you can only squeeze so many interesting

Barry Margolin...

Since it's on Lifetime, it only has to do as well as "Missing", the show
that used to be in its time slot.

Ian J. Ball...

Not really - "Missing" improved its ratings in season #3 over season #2,
and Lifetime *still* cancelled it.

Ian (I smell a recent management change. Which means "Angela's Eyes"
will only be on until the next management change when the new guys come
in and throw out everything the old guys were doing...)

stories out of a gifted detective, male or female, IMHO, crime drama
should avoid as much as possible focusing on one single character,
putting the burden of solving cases on one specific ability of one
detective is particularly bad, , it will get old pretty quickly, CSI
and other successful crime drama are successful and their stories are
refreshing because their focus are on Science, and other police
techniques. If Angela's Eyes continues down the same road as The
Inside, I'm not optimistic about its future, if it could focus its
attention on the mystery concerning Angela, her parents and other
parties, in essence, transforming the show itself into a mystery show,
it might be able to live past two seasons.
