[ # ] SciFi’s Painkiller Jane kicks a$$
April 13th, 2007 under Reviews, Syfy


SciFi is premiering a new series tonight at 10P called Painkiller Jane. Well I have seen the first two episodes, and all I can say is the show kicks a$$.
The best way to describe the show it is Claire The Cheerleader from Heroes meets Smallville and Supernatural. What I mean is what will Claire do with her ability to be indestructible when she grows up? Painkiller Jane deals with an indestructible woman, who joins a secret force that seeks out people who have Neuros. Neuros cause them to have special powers like bringing people back from the dead and the power of illusion and they use them to do bad things. That is where the Smallville/Supernatural feel comes in, both shows have the same leads but each week it changes up what they are hunting.
Now I have to admit it took me about 20 minutes to get into the show because I am used to the lighter shows on SciFi like Eureka and The Dresden Files. But as the show went on, I got more and more into it. Actually it when she dies the first time, I realized what makes this show different and good.
Painkiller Jane Vasko is played by Kristinna Loken, who most people know from Terminator 3. I know her from some of her recent stuff like the Razzie nominated BloodRayne and how much she hated her time on The L Word, but watching her on this show it was like watching her for the first time. The cast is mostly unknowns, but you know what it works for the show.
So tune into SCiFi at 10p or set your DVRs to record the show because I promise you, you will be talking about Painkiller Jane for weeks to come!
