Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Unsurprisingly, eyebrows were raised when it was announced that the classic 1970s sci-fi television show Bionic Woman was being revisited. And those eyebrows shot even higher when it was confirmed that former EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan was taking the title role. But the fears, in spite of what some early word may have hinted, proved unfounded. For the new Bionic Woman is surprisingly strong. The concept at the heart of Bionic Woman is similar, if not exactly the same as its predecessor. Ryan is Jamie Sommers, a woman leading an unspectacular life until she's caught in a horrific car crash. Saved by scientists, she's rebuilt with added strength and speed into the mix. And that proves to be just the start of the adventure. The full series is included on this DVD set, and there's plenty to enjoy with Bionic Woman. Alongside an assortment of welcome guest appearances, the show boasts good action, strong effects and plenty of entertainment. Sadly, it wasn't enough to save it in the States, where ratings have led to its cancellation. And that's a real pity. Because while it's not perfect, and occasionally the pace is slightly off, Bionic Woman is good science-fiction television. And do you know what? Michelle Ryan is really very good too. In spite of it coming to a premature end, it's still a show worth picking up. --Jon Foster Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - not alot to itIt was not bad but only 8 episodes long, so not something to buy, need I say more? Rating:  - Lacks oomph.With so much real quality television around, I suppose it's inevitable that some just don't quite make the grade. And in an age when writing on television on TV is reaching such high standards, it's a shame that in the end it's the writing that lets this down. It's also worth remembering that if you plan to purchase this, it is only EIGHT episodes - yes, that includes the pilot. So Jaime Sommers is in a car accident, gets her limbs, eye and ear replaced with superior bionic parts by a covert group who go around saving the world each week. Hangers on include her younger sister who lives with her and knows nothing of her secret life, and later, a boyfriend. And for character development, well, in 8 episodes, that's all we have time for, ... Read More: Rating: - Not a patch on the original, but it's a completely different show anywayI loved the original version of this show with Lindsay Wagner, whose character showed flaws, a really 'ordinary' persona and fought Bigfoot of all things. This is a deserved remake, and it did need some serious updating. To this end, the writers got it right in having Jaime as a bartender and not a skydiving tennis champ. The bionics have been updated too, so it's not all about actual mechanics, but things in the body that can be manipulated to make a person stronger etc. I was very surprised to learn that Michelle Ryan would take over the lead, but actually she was a bit of a revelation. A good American accent and an acting ability that wasn't always evident in Eastenders. The problem is that the show is incredibly tedious in places. ... Read More: Rating: - MonotonousCould have been so good - the pilot wasn't bad and neither was Michelle Ryan. In the end, it suffered from dire scripts, poor special effects and no imagination. Rating: - Loved the show....... really was getting into it, lots of things they could develop on... Then it was canned post-strike with no proper ending or send-off. Therefore even though I loved the show I can't bring myself to buy this DVD as it is pointless, and will just leave me hanging once more wanting to know what happens.... Why wasn't her sister allowed a computer hooked up to the internet? What's the deal with the ex's daddy? yada yada..... |
