I really like this show and i enjoyed all eight episodes although i felt episode 2 and 3 were weak. However by episode 5, it really began to get good. I know a lot of people criticise this show and i can see why but the show had a behind the scenes conflicts and it seems that the creator and many producers can't even take on a show properly. Considering the creator of this show is the creator of Battlestar Galattica, you would expect he could handle another sci-fi show and produce yet another successful hit. This show deserved another chance and it's a shame. But i still have my dvd for the memories

This series is good if you have nothing to watch a good buy and can be very good if you get stuck into this 8 episode seires.
Fisrt episode is enjoyable. Great mini seires to watch while waiting for heroes season 2

There is a very good reason why this series was ditched in America, its boring.

What was advertised as a fast paced, action heavy update of the original, is actually painfully slow and light on action. If seeing two women go through the same fight and same dialogue week after week is your idea of excitement then this will entertain you.

The plots each week are dull and uninteresting and rather than any feeling of saving the world all we get is a boring soap opera between Jamie Summers (the new Bionic woman), Sarah Corvus (The "first" bionic woman) and Jamie's sister. By episode three this all becomes very tedious.

As far as performances go they are adequate considering the dreadful script. Miguel Ferrer adds some much needed class but everyone else just feels lifeless and appear to be just reading a dull script rather than doing any serious acting. Michelle Ryan is actually very good and her American accent is flawless. She has definitely come on a lot since her days in Eastenders. On this evidence I hope she gets more work in America as she has the talent and charisma to be a big star.

Overall this is hugely disappointing considering the hype. If you are desperate to see it, just watch it on the TV. There are far better things to spend your money on than this.

I Think this was a show that could have made if the writers strike hadn't allowed the US networks to have a clearout of struggling shows.

Yes, the early episodes were shaky, and had more than a few storyline continuity problems but it was starting to settle down and find it's feet. Michelle Ryan did a commendable job and shouldn't be blamed for it's failure. Clearly too many behind the scenes staff couldn't agree on what tone and direction it should take but they were starting to get there. If it hadn't been for the strike it probably would have made a full first season and improved a lot.

A shame that didn't happen, but enjoy what few episodes do exist because it was really enjoyable!

None of the negative reviews should be taken seriously. This series was one of the best NBC had to offer. Michelle Ryan is a very good actress and did very well in the role of Jaime Summers. The special effects and storyline all work great and its definitely a serious worth checking out. I heard they made 14 episodes in total. I just hope ITV2 purchases the right to air the rest of the episodes.

After really looking forward to watching this when aired on ITV2 this year, by episode 3, I heard that this series had been axed and not suprisingly.

The acting and plots are truely cringe-worthy. What should have turned out to be a great remake of a series, just turned out to absolute bilge.

Having watched all episodes all 8 of them I can say with honesty that this was one of the best Remakes I have ever watched topped only by Battlestar Galactica.

I thought Michelle Ryan did a fine job playing the central character its only a pity the directing and writing wasnt a little more supportive. I felt it was very dark in places this may have worked on the aforementioned Battlestar Galactica but had no chance of working here. David Eick was hoping to emulate the sucess he had achieved with BSG but failed miserably.

The main reason the original show suceeded was because they took the michael out of themselves they didnt take themselves seriously. This show fell down due to the fact that they took themselves too seriously.

By episode 5 I felt it was starting to find it's feet. I was really starting to enjoy the show. The Jaime/Jonas relationship had developed into the kind of one that existed int he original with Jaime/oscar. He was looking out for her and her little sister. By episode 6 I was hooked.

I have to be honest it bugs me when NBC dont have the bottle to give a new show a fair chance. I think had the Bionic Woman got a second Season it would have done extremely well and moreover I believe it would have surpassed David Eick's previous Sci Fi outing.

I was very impressed with the acting Michelle Ryan Was excellent as Was Miguel Ferrer. However I felt that katie Sackoff's inclusion on the show let it down By all means the Sarah Corvis character needed to be there but I felt they should have got someone else to play the part. Sackoff played it very much the same way she plays Starbuck on Battlestar. I felt an more experienced slightly older actress say Lena Olin would have really made something special out of that role and with a talent like Olin on board the show most likely would not have been cancelled. I am in no way demeaning Ms Sackoff here I think she is absolutely fantastic as Starbuck brilliant.

Bionic Woman Brilliant show had great potential ruined by bad directing and questionable writing.

I love watching this and i am gutted that it was axed half way through!!
I hope the dvd might have the episodes that werent shown.

Any way def worth buying this dvd michelle ryan is fab in it!!

I really don't understand why some Tv series are cancelled. I thnk sometimes it just comes down to internal politics. I mean the start of the first season is a little weak, while all the actors find their feet, but this is true of many series. Ryan is often blamed for the demise of the series, but personally I thought more to blame was the rather subdued tone of the directing, which didn't seem to suit any of the actors. Anyway, what there is is well worth a watch and it really is a huge shame it didn't go further than it did.

I think this is brill good storylines and action packed. I think it's a shame that this will be the only series. I really hope ITV or BBC take this over and make more series. why is it always the good programmes they stop making when they keep the old rubbish that has long need to be took off the tv...
