Directed with the same music-video energy McG brought to Charlie’s Angels , the pilot is vibrant and fast-moving. The cinematography uses saturated colors and quick cuts that feel uniquely 2002.
Moving far away from Saved by the Bell , Thiessen is commanding as Billie Chambers, the boss who keeps the boys in line. She brings a necessary weight to the otherwise flashy proceedings.
The Fastlane pilot is an unapologetic blast of fun. It’s loud, it’s expensive-looking, and it’s incredibly charismatic. If you’re looking for a nostalgic trip back to the peak of "MTV-style" television, this episode delivers in spades.
