Bionic Woman is one of the most talked about shows on the new season and it is finally making its debut tonight on NBC at 9p.
Struggling as a bartender and surrogate mom to her teenage sister, Jaime Sommers (Michelle Ryan, "EastEnders") didn't think life could get much harder. But when a devastating car accident leaves her at death's door, Jaime's only hope for survival is a cutting-edge, top-secret technology that comes at a hefty price.
With a whole new existence and a debt to re-pay, Jaime must figure out how to use her extraordinary abilities for good — while weighing the personal sacrifices she will have to make. Ultimately, it's Jaime's journey of self-discovery and inner strength that will help her embrace her new life as the Bionic Woman in this new action-drama series.
Bionic Woman is nothing like the show it is "based" on except for the name of the show, the name of the character and fake body parts, so if you expecting the '70s version this is not the show for you. If you are just like the star of the show and were not born when the original was on you are going to love this show. Actually you could have been born when the original was on and still like this show.
Bionic Woman, just like Dark Angel, is going to be the cult hit of the season and Michelle Ryan is going to be the fantasy girl at conventions like Jessica Alba. The special effects on this show are amazing it is going to be great to watch how they evolve through the season as Jamie gets more used to her new body.
So tune in to NBC tonight at 9p to watch the Bionic Woman for the new millennium.
On a side note, I think NBC should have teamed this show up with Heroes and Journeyman with Life…but that is just me.
