Review of Painkiller Jane (6pc)
Kristanna Loken of Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Bloodrayne stars as Jane Vasco, a tough-yet-sexy DEA agent recruited by a covert government unit to hunt superhuman neurological aberrations known as 'Neuros' who can do dangerous things with their minds. But when Jane discovers that she herself can rapidly heal from any injury, she begins to investigate her own disturbing background. In this sole season of the Sci Fi Channel series, Jane and her team battle assassins, arsonists, time loops, prison breaks, mythical beasts, undead armies, killer hallucinations and more, all in a bullet-riddled world of the very near future where nothing may be what it seems ...and pain is always a bitch.

Great
I love this show I watched it when it first came on tv and I was sad that they didn't make a second season.

Oh No! No ending
I watched all 6 disks wanting to know what was finally going to happen. And nothing. It leaves you totally hanging. I was disappointed. I went online and found out no second season, so I guess they were planning on making one and something happened. Maybe that's why they leave so many unanswered questions. I wished I would have know this ahead so I wouldn't have watched at all. If no conclusion doesn't bother you then these are fun to watch, something different. I'm not a fan of big blood splatters but it only happened infrequently.

One of my favorite shows...
Painkiller Jane was another great series that was unfortunately way too short lived. Based on the comic books by the same name this series had some outstanding comic book influences and ranks up there with the best comic book adaptions to date. The first 2/3 of this show were some of the best television I've ever enjoyed. The episodes were exciting... original... sexy... action packed... HOT! Then things changed, unfortunately not for the better. Although the show continued to be very entertaining the last 1/3 of the series appears as if the writers tried to make the show more mysterious, more sci-fi. It didn't work. Kristanna Loken is absolutely smoking in this series as Jane. I'd recommend you buy this series for her sex appeal alone... but add the great acting, action-packed episodes, and original ideas and you have a series that I very highly recommend! This is a great cult hit! Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

painkiller jane ty series
IT WAS A VERY GOOD SERIES, IT IS TOO BAD THAT IT WAS CANCELLED. IT SEEMS
LIKE EVERYTIME I BEGIN TO LIKE A SERIES, IT GETS CANCELLED. I ONLY SAW ONCE
BEFORE IN "TERMINATOR 3", SHE WAS ARNOLD'S NEMESIS.
BUT IN THIS SERIES, SHE'S A GOOD GUY, SHE IS PART OF A GOVERNMENT AGENCY
THAT LOOKS INTO WEIRD HAPPENINGS, ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN THEIR JOB.

Painkliier May Be Part Of The Series Name But It Should Be More Of PainMaker For Having To Watch This Series Instead
Like a few other box sets I got this during the X-mas month sale and now sadly regret that choice. The series seems to try and be a mix of the series Alias and X-files but falls flatly on its face, the series shows a shadow government agency in charge of capturing people who have unusual abilities and powers called Neuros and while not all these Neuros are evil the agency feels it's their right to take them into custody by choice or force. With the series intro we see the story of Jane Vasco who was once a D.E.A agent but because of certain situations and her own unique ability of regenerating from near death injuries becomes part of this shadow agencies group. The episodes have the standard fights and explosions but the story arcs per episodes and through out the series is ultimately so bland and boring you can't seem to make yourself watch a whole episode through to the end. The supporting cast while not the worst actors and actresses are far from being great either except for maybe one or two, and of course you'll get your standard inner agency romantic story-plot as well but again it does nothing to help this sad show. I think the reason I ultimately got this was because of Kristanna Loken from the Terminator 3 movie as well as another show which I somewhat liked as well, and again sadly her character's story background and probably the director made her character seem so two-dimensional and stiff it was hard to watch her go through this every episode until it was thankfully canceled. I can't say this is the worst series I've ever watched but it comes a close second so if you like seeing actions shows with hard-core fighting women I say a good choice is the Alias series which was both very entertaining and fun to watch unlike this poor series...
