From AfterEllen.com:
- Interview with Kristanna Loken
“Loosely based on the comic book series of the same name by Jimmy Palmiotti, the television show is about a covert agency that tracks down neurological aberrants, or “neuros.” Loken’s character, former DEA agent Jane Vasco, discovers that she has some abnormal skills of her own: She can be injured — and she can certainly feel the pain — but she heals very quickly and can survive experiences that would kill ordinary people. In the process, she kicks a lot of ass while taking down the bad guys.”

- TV Review: Painkiller Jane
“The first two episodes offer little substance for viewers to tear into. This is a shame because if you can look past that you’ll see the potential.”
From the Seattle Post Intelligencer:
- Sci Fi’s Jane is just a pain to watch
“What really makes you shake your head while you’re watching “Painkiller Jane” is that it wouldn’t have taken that much to get people hooked.”
From the LA Daily News:
- ‘Painkiller Jane’ could become a quirky addiction
“In “Heroes,” the characters with special powers are largely the good guys, being hunted by a shadowy group with ostensibly sinister motives. In “Painkiller Jane,” the shadowy group comprises the good guys and those with bizarre powers are neutralized.”
