Moody and fast-paced, this is good, only minimally pretentious, sci-fi fun.
The effects-laden pilot of “Painkiller Jane” is certainly watchable.
The stories are flat, and the repartee between Jane and her teammates isn’t zippy enough to amuse even the comic-book crowd.
No, they're not ripping off "Heroes" - "Jane" was there first - but looking at the two shows side by side demonstrates how much execution matters to even the most promising concept.
"Painkiller Jane" has been reincarnated as a far lamer show than it was on first view more than a year ago.
Not helping matters... are the wretched dialogue, indiscriminately moody lighting, stock characters (gruff boss, dweeby tech guy, ripped chauvinist colleague), and crushing lack of suspense.
What’s most mind-boggling about this show is how it manages to get every single thing wrong.
