Movie Reviews of Bionic Woman: Volume One
Movie Review: BIONIC WOMAN had GREAT potential
Summary: 5 Stars
So I wandered through Borders on my lunch and saw that a DVD collection of BIONIC WOMAN was available. I got it. I got it because I love the promo art for the show; I got it because the show was ugly, complicated, and didn't cut corners by making Jamie instantly great at everything. No, instead they showed a young woman who went through something AWFUL and, with her second chance at life, inherited obligations well beyond her capability to instantly digest. That they had the first bionic woman go so terribly wrong was a GREAT addition and made us wonder what Jamie's future would be. Then there was the "wonderful" staff at The Burkett Group; they were exactly what I would expect a group of professional assassins/cleaners for hire to be when faced with an innocent like Jamie.
Unfortunately, shortly after the show got started, they dropped the unique approach that initiated the series for something way more traditional and formulaic. There was major behind the scenes drama (I'm told) and several creative changes. And then it died with the Writer's Strike.
So I will never know how Sarah Corvis (the coolest villain I've seen in a while) and Jamie's relationship would have played out; or how Jay of Burkett would balance his work obligations and his romance with Corvis; would Jamie's shelf-life and bionic interface problem be solved; would her sister ever find out and on and on and on.
This show is unfairly maligned because it didn't follow the old show's mold. So unfortunately something that could have become something wonderful was prematurely killed. Great design on this show and I will miss it and the characters.
