Is it any good?
Thanks to decent acting, particularly by Spencer, the characters overcome a somewhat trite script to become three-dimensional and endearing. While Angela's Eyes follows the same format as procedural crime shows like Law & Order and CSI, like Alias, it draws viewers in with its ongoing plot lines -- such as Angela's relationships with her parents and Peter -- in addition to each week's suspenseful storyline. Ultimately, although Angela's Eyes doesn't really offer too much that viewers haven't seen before, it's entertaining enough for fans of the genre.
