In the pilot of this espionage spoof, a trio of comely ex-felons (led by Species' Natasha Henstridge) is assigned to guard a politician about to tape the first episode of a talk show. "The first one's always a cheat," says team member D.D. (Kristen Miller). "The rest of the series is never as good." No such problem here. Loaded with sharp, fourth-wall-breaking humor, this show lampoons both serious spy serials and the vaunted babes-kicking-butt-in-syndication genre. The storytelling won't tax your brain (in one episode, a villain is helpfully labeled Evil Doctor by the onscreen graphics), but this is smart dumb entertainment at its best.
