I only briefly skimmed the new Charles Angels TV series, but I cannot compare due to my unfamiliarity with the original (I don't think you're asking about the movies, which I enjoyed a little). As to Ashton Kutcher replacing Charlie Sheen I was disappointed on the 1st episode. I don't expect him to be the same in personality, but I was little inspired by his character. I might have also been turned off by the tasteless funeral scene and how both the attendees and the family behaved.
