A dim knock off of Charlies Angels that didn't make it past pilot - this time its two girls instead of three and they're models; one of them is black, which gives it some difference. They have a male boss who we see and are helped out by a male agent - Don Johnson in a Zapata moustache.
The plot has them chase after an embezzler, Vince Edwards - so this show has decent star power. The girls are Cornelia Sharpe (who wised up and married Martin Bergman) and Jayne Kennedy - they do look stunning and are dressed nicely but aren't given enough action/smart stuff to do. I liked how they clearly had active sex lives - though it's made clear black Kennedy sleeps with black football players (no miscegenation yet).
There's a decent car chase and some helicopters at the end but its silly and not in a fun way - it doesn't quite work. George Lazenby is the villain - he gets some flowery dialogue and handles it well; it's a decently written role and he makes an impact and you wonder why he didn't have a bigger career in Hollywood with those looks and that voice.
