Bionic Woman

Could've been loads better.

NBC tries to get lightening to strike twice by having Battlestar Galactica’s David Eick reboot Bionic Woman. When Jaime Sommers is severely injured in a car accident she’s saved using experimental cybernetic implants and gains enhancers abilities that she then uses to help the Berkut Group (a private security company) combat terror threats. Starring Michelle Ryan, Lucy Hale, Miguel Ferrer, and Katee Sackhoff, the show has a pretty solid cast and features several interesting guest stars. However, the writing is uneven; setting up an ongoing story arc in the first few episodes and then completely dropping it (though this can partly be blamed on the 2008 Writers Strike). Still, the action is exciting and the special effects are used fairly well to show Jamie’s enhanced abilities. Only 8 episodes, Season 1 of Bionic Woman is entertaining, but isn’t given a chance to fully develop.
