From TV with MeeVee – Painkiller Jane premieres April 21 on CH:
- Totally Frakked: Painkiller Jane – Bring the Pain!
“The newest original series from Sci Fi, Painkiller Jane, took a circuitous route to the small screen. Originally a comic book, then adapted by Sci Fi for a 2005 TV movie, and now revived and rebooted as a weekly series with a brand-new cast. While Painkiller Jane‘s hardly a new idea, it seems like the show-runners are trying their hardest to make it fly on a weekly basis.”
I’m psyched to see Painkiller Jane tthis Friday night. The premise sounds pretty cool to me, and I have a friend who loves the comics. I’m really interested to see what this is going to look like. Maybe they’ll make why Jane has speical abilities a mystery type arc?
I was dissappoined. Trying to do it all with showcasing Kristiana Loeken as eye candy. What will it take to find someone who can write for a modern sci-fi series? Bottom line: the show needs some better writing/better character development. I’ll keep watching, maybe things will develop better after the slow start – Bud
