    Moody and fast-paced, this is good, only minimally pretentious, sci-fi fun.

    The effects-laden pilot of "Painkiller Jane" is certainly watchable.

    Well, its different from HEROES but certainly its wonderful in its own way. I watched the whole 6 DVD's back to back this weekend and im hell looking for season 2.

She is a genuine depiction of personal vs professional conflicts. You should shine star :) All hands for the show.… Expand

    This show is really, really thin. Of couse it's gonna suck, but it's not the "good" kind of sucking, like those flicks with Milla Jovovich. Loken is the show's only virtue, but she's shallow - much worse than her role in the "L-Word".… Expand
