Painkiller Jane

[unsupported]

Is anyone else they canceled the show?

I really believed in this show, it had great potential.. but I really needed painkillers to watch it. They never really developed the characters or the relationships on the team beyond the first few episodes. They never developed the fact that this big corporation was creating the neuros, which was hinted on the first episode. Never explored NICO, or the mystery man directing the team. Instead it became a "monster of the week" series. Did they spend so much money on the effects that they could not afford a decent writer?

My wife will be happy because I've told her a month ago I need to stop watching because it is so horrible, but ever week she would find me watching it.... Honestly, if Kristina Loken didn't have an excuse to dance around in her bra and panties every episode, I would have given up a long time ago.

Anyway, good riddens!

No one is surprised, this show bombed like 95% of Scifi's shows.

While after watching that horrible pilot I will agree but most reviewers have seen the first three and a couple even said it gets better so we shall see....

I also think it is stupid that they don't take advantage of the fact that PK Jane is invincible. She doesn't get hurt nearly enough in my opinion.

PKJ had a good premise in the hands of a bad production.

I watched every week's episode to see some sort of superhero action while Heroes is out, but it can stay in my DVR unwatched for up to a week, while a show like Heroes or Kyle XY gets watched as soon as I am settled down from coming home (I often work late).

Like Level 9? As far as I know it only had two episodes, and I liked it. Or Blade, which was like PKJ for me, a train wreck, but I watched it hoping for more...

I only watched glimpes of the show because Kristanna looked fine as hell.
Yeah, the show sucked. I'm not suprised that it got canned.
