Bionic Woman - ITV2

Please excuse me, as I am a newbie, but I can't find anything about the Bionic Woman on this site. I did a search but no reference to the new series anywhere. Did no one watch it last night on ITV2. Please someone let me know what you think.

I wasn't that impressed myself. I really wanted to like it, but somehow it didn't quite work. I know it was a pilot and I'll keep watching. It certainly didn't grab me like Heroes or Lost did (although I still haven't finished watching Heroes series 1 yet). I don't think it was that well directed.

I'd be interested to hear anyone else's thoughts.

Re: Bionic Woman Anyone

It was okay, nothing special. I felt they tried to cram too much into one episode.

Re: Bionic Woman Anyone

Agree not in the same class as Heroes, but so far, better than many. Giving a good feel on the angst of it all.
Way better than whatever her face was in the stars and stripes leotard (enjoyed that when I was ooh, about 12.)

Was interested to see several actors from Battlestar Galactica pop up, (Starbuck, maintenance chief) background music had some of the same feel as Galactica - notes that David Eick was involved in both.

My wife, who liked the pilot by the way, says that according to Deathray the show has been axed. Apparently it is a casualty of the writers' strike and production has not resumed. I don't know how have been made.

Bionic Woman - ITV2

Just watched the pilot episode of this
(Not sure if its been shown in the UK before)

I think its great.
Not a boring moment in the show & lots of unanswered questions to keep you watching.

Anyone else seen it (in the Uk or otherwise) ?
and did you like it ?

Re: Bionic Woman Anyone

I actually had high hopes for this show.....
I usually suspend my disbelief so i can enjoy these shows, but i would have to suspend it from the moon to swallow the horrible plot and story lines that would be more believable coming from a compulsive liar. I couldn't watch past the 4th show, being able to disconnect and reconnect a video from thinking and ending up with a nose bleed tells me i should either be a vegetable or high.
I am annoyed because the acting is credible (given the drivel they have to act out) and i have fond memories of the first show, i expected something much much more.
Major disappointment.
