Campy, earnest, and (at times) funny, She Spies: The Complete First Season is more VIP and Charlie's Angels (with a little classic Batman thrown in) than Alias or La Femme Nikita. Showcasing the considerable physical charms of Natasha Henstridge, Kristen Miller, and Natashia Williams, who portray recovering criminals turned sexy she-spies Cassie, D.D., and Shane, respectively, the whodunit series offers a tongue-in-cheek alternative to hardcore crime-solving shows.

She Spies debuted on NBC in 2002. After three episodes, the series went into syndication and did well enough to nab a second full season. But whether they're waxing euphoric about the current state of affairs or the improbable plausibility of their own show, the women exhibit pluck and fairly decent comedic timing. Henstridge, best known for her femme fatale roles, is surprisingly funny, especially when mocking her own sex-symbol image.

Plot isn't a huge deal in any of the 20 episodes included on this four-disc set. In the pilot episode, for instance, no one questions why a talk show hosted by a former politician is run by his campaign manager rather than a professional television producer. The plotline is only slightly more integral when it can get one of the spies into lingerie or other skimpy clothing. Never mind that not one of the three spies looks like she could effectively execute a roundhouse kick to the enemy. The fact is, they all look fabulous nabbing the bad guys without breaking a nail or into a nasty sweat. And sometimes, that's what it's really about. --Jae-Ha Kim

Customer Reviews

She Spies 3 episodes on NBC 7/02 Syndicated 9/30/02-9/11/05
In July 2002, NBC aired She Spies starring Natasha Henstridge from Spices as well as 2 newcomers. After 3 airings on NBC, She Spies became a hit so they decided to run the show into syndication which began on the weekend of Sept. 30, 2002 and lasted for 2 seasons before getting uncerimoniusly cancelled in Sept 2004 and ran in repeats for the remainder of the 2004-05 season before getting off the air the week of 9/10-9/11/05. Anyway this show is one of the best that got robbed of a longer run. Anyway here are the episodes that will be on the DVD set.

Get the first season, but skip the second season
The first season of She Spies was a very entertaining, off-the-wall comedy. Think "Naked Gun" meets "Charlies Angels". The show drastically shifted gears for the second season, though (due to poor ratings perhaps) and attempted to be a straightforward action show. It just didn't work. Get the first season set and enjoy some good laughs and eye-candy.

Carlos Added Wonderful Light to the Show
Season One of She Spies was wonderful. It had humor, clever wit, double meanings to scenes and to the dialog, and it had one of the most brilliant comedy actors for the girls to play off, Carlos Jacott. Carlos was in all three of Joss Whedon's TV series, Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, one of only four people to do so. When you see his scope in She Spies you might understand why the brilliant Mr. Whedon used him so diligently. Natasha and Natashia and Kristen (how can anyone not love Kristen Miller!?) are also great, their martial arts are actually somewhat functional, and the show is just lots of fun. Dummies need not buy it: they won't get the humor. Skip season two, which lacked Carlos Jacott. Cameron Daddo added exactly nothing, and the show became dull in the sense it was commonplace, never achieving the same heights of wit seen in this season one set. However, this reviewer, who is a bit hard of hearing, sorely misses the text overlays (subtitles) that were on TV. Buy it and enjoy a fun ride. It's absolutely delightful.
