Amazon.co.uk Review
Unsurprisingly, eyebrows were raised when it was announced that the classic 1970s sci-fi television show Bionic Woman was being revisited. And those eyebrows shot even higher when it was confirmed that former EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan was taking the title role. But the fears, in spite of what some early word may have hinted, proved unfounded. For the new Bionic Woman is surprisingly strong. The concept at the heart of Bionic Woman is similar, if not exactly the same as its predecessor. Ryan is Jamie Sommers, a woman leading an unspectacular life until she's caught in a horrific car crash. Saved by scientists, she's rebuilt with added strength and speed into the mix. And that proves to be just the start of the adventure. The full series is included on this DVD set, and there's plenty to enjoy with Bionic Woman. Alongside an assortment of welcome guest appearances, the show boasts good action, strong effects and plenty of entertainment. Sadly, it wasn't enough to save it in the States, where ratings have led to its cancellation. And that's a real pity. Because while it's not perfect, and occasionally the pace is slightly off, Bionic Woman is good science-fiction television. And do you know what? Michelle Ryan is really very good too. In spite of it coming to a premature end, it's still a show worth picking up. --Jon Foster

Could have been so good - the pilot wasn't bad and neither was Michelle Ryan. In the end, it suffered from dire scripts, poor special effects and no imagination.
 Loved the show.... June 25, 2008
... really was getting into it, lots of things they could develop on... Then it was canned post-strike with no proper ending or send-off.
Therefore even though I loved the show I can't bring myself to buy this DVD as it is pointless, and will just leave me hanging once more wanting to know what happens....
Why wasn't her sister allowed a computer hooked up to the internet? What's the deal with the ex's daddy? yada yada.....

after what i thought was a decent pilot(***/5)the rest of the series didn't seem to go anywhere and worse still...it now can't go anywhere as it has been cancelled.
they shuld have just made mini movies like the pilot spaced out through the year or leave the storyline completely and focus on different aspects of the show or just don't remake it:].
the episodes didn't have storylines that helped develop the charaters and they just remained very two dimensional so on that note.
1/5 very poor

This is a bad attempt at a bad programe ,michelle ryan is a good actress and i take my hat of to her for going to the us ,and getting such a great chance to make a big impact , i no the script writer went on strike so who wrote this total trash ,or did they just make it up as they went along , one of the worst tv programes ever made , michelle ryan deserved better
Ouch car crash television, at times literally! May 12, 2008

This is a show light on acting talent, light on action and heavy on dialogue. Seriously, give me a camcorder some B-list actors and a lame special effects budget and i could shoot this series!
People who enjoy the show Heroes will be insulted that this is trying to 'cash in'!
