Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

teppo-2 Painkiller Jane is a show that is plagued with... well, mediocrity. It's not a bad show, but there's really nothing that stands out either - unless you want to count Kristanna Loken's cleavage, which gets ample presentation, to the point where it's an obvious attempt to keep people interested via sex appeal. Obviously Loken is pleasing to the eye in general, but they should've paid as much attention to the rest of the series as they did on capitalizing on her good looks.So, as said, nothing really stands out as "great". First off, the neuros. Call 'em what you will, but a potato is still a potato, and these guys are just like the ones you see in, say, Heroes or X-Men. Basically identical powers, genes to blame, and so on. Obviously not overly original - though I suppose this stems from the comic this show is based on, but I've never read the comic so I don't know how faithful the show is to it.Then there's the main characters - the usual "freak-hunter" squad. Sadly, the team personalities are pretty much as uninspired as the neuros are. There's the sexy tough chick (well, two for the first half of the series). Then there's the kind of egoistic and annoying "ohmygod I'm so smart and soooo gooood at what I do" techie geek that you see in just about every damn series, or so it feels at least. Don't forget the "muscle" of the group either, a brawny guy whose function is pretty much just the combat side of things. And of course he has to throw sexist comments around all the time, just like you'd expect. The roster is rounded out by the usual reclusive, not-great-with-people doctor and the ex-special forces team leader.Aside from the uninspired character templates there's the acting. Well, it's also on the mediocre region. It rarely makes you cringe, but just as rarely shines. This is true for all cast members.The writing continues the standard-fare trend, with not many gems to be found. There are several rather weak episodes, many more so than really good ones. It feels they forgot the main premise altogether for a majority of the season, only returning to it at the last four or so episodes. That's generally not a good thing, as they could've kept things much more interesting by giving us more than just separated incidents with random neuros.The bottom line: Not bad, but not exactly good. It really does summarize the series as a whole. It's something to keep you occupied in the lack of something better. At least for my part, I didn't feel I wasted time watching it. It was sufficiently enjoyable to prevent that feeling. But certainly it could've been better if the makers had put some extra effort into it.Despite not being so great, I wouldn't have minded seeing a second season. Perhaps they would've focused more on the real bad guys instead of just the "symptom". But it's not surprising that show got stopped, so this is all we'll get.

Dominik Schlatter It took me about 5 episodes to realize what was wrong with painkiller jane: nothing matters, nobody cares. every episode is just 40 minutes of watching a beautiful but somewhat dull kristanna loken solve a case involving -of course- some kind of a neuro. and the action isn't all that great either. what makes it bad is that there is almost no character building. there is no emotional depth. none of the team members matter to us. even jane won't really reveal much of herself, so why should we care? as an example: in one episode janes partner gets shot. there is of course a funeral (because there has to be) but one episode later its like she never even existed. nobody seemed to miss her, nobody mentiones her. thats just how shallow painkiller jane is. and its too bad, because there are some good episodes that show us how P.J. could have been.

david-beukes In fairness, I didn't get beyond the fourth episode before my brain went into a self-induced coma to protect itself. The show may have subsequently improved, but I am simply not bored enough to find out.I don't really want to single out actors as a reason why this show exerts such cosmic suction, mostly because the technical department are more to blame than they are. Also actors are typically following direction and working from scripts.Which brings me to my next point. I really wish that this type of show would be called "Has the same name as a comic book" rather than "Based on a comic book." It might get far less negative reviews if it attempted to gain its own audience rather than grabbing for a ready-made audience who are only going to shoot it down if it isn't instantly brilliant.

brocious PKJ is a great show. Though the pilot was bad, it's gotten extremely better. I'm really wondering if the people giving it a bad review are watching the same show. Granted, if the acting and writing would've stayed the same as the pilot, I would've said the same thing about PKJ. But, as the characters developed and the acting got better and we've gotten to know these characters, it's turned completely around. I look forward to this show every week. Kritanna Lokken has completely gotten into her character and is doing a great job. People probably saw the pilot and thought the rest of the episodes weren't worth watching. I wasn't impressed with the pilot; but, thought it had to get better. And, it did! It fits well with the rest of the SCI-FI programs. I hope it has a very long run! PKJ deserves it!
