A reimagining of the popular 1970s TV series about a female athlete who is given bionic strength.
Jaime Summers (Michelle Ryan) has been going out with a good looking professor, Will (Chris Bowers) for a few months. On paper, it looks like a mismatch, for Jaime is a bartender and also cares for her teenage sister, barely making ends meet. One day, on a date after Will's class is finished, Jaime even questions him as to why he is interested in her. He tells her its precisely because she doesn't feel like someone his own father would have pre-programmed him to meet. This, even though she is pretty and smart, too. Not long after, the two of them are in a terrible auto accident and, as Jaime lays in a more dire situation than Will, his true identity is revealed. Yes, he teaches classes but he is also a member of an elite committee that is studying bionics for the national defense of the United States. Also, he is a surgeon. Rushing Jaime into an operating room, against the objections of other committee members (like Miguel Ferrer), he gives Jaime two new legs, a new arm, a new eye, and a new ear, among other things. He also gives her the power to heal quickly, with some newfangled antibody. In short, he sees Jaime as a potential heroine for the USA but, also, he loves her too much to lose her. Coming out of the operation, Jaime is aghast with the changes that have happened. These secrets are extremely weighty but, whoa, there's more. Will's team made a previous woman bionic, with terrible results. Sarah, as she was named, turned to the "dark side" almost immediately and is still out there. She may even have been responsible for the auto accident in the first place. Will, again, breaks protocol and lets Jaime leave the hospital to sort things out. Running home at an incredible rate of speed, Jaime tries to fool her sister into thinking she was on a ski trip. But, sis isn't buying the lie. With Sarah still a huge threat, among others, the Americans need Jaime. What will she choose? This is a much darker and more violent series than the original, with Lindsay Wagner. Which is not to say its any better. The new angles are interesting but the ambivalence on whether the technology employed is a good or bad thing creates unease. Ryan, who somewhat resembles Kristin Stewart, is spunky but not overpoweringly pretty or talented. Bowers, on the other hand, is quite handsome and a primary magnet for the show and Ferrer is fine at the helm. Also, the female playing Sarah is nasty, nasty. Sets, costumes, and production values are high, making for a good looking series. If you like science fiction, you might want to try this show on for size. But, fans of the original show might not like the changes.
I loved the idea of this remake and I think the actress is good enough to do it. But I am left feeling very disappointed.<br/><br/>It is almost like the writer had a list of cliché ideas next to him and ticked them off one by one. The whole 1st episode is infected with old ideas.<br/><br/>The one thing that really annoyed me was the mis-timed pace of it. One minute she is with her sis and the next she is having a pointless fight on a roof.<br/><br/>There was no time taken at all to develop her character and show the bionic transformation. This just seemed to be an inconvenience and got in the way of the first fight scene. It is almost like this programme is targeted for the Playstation Nation who are too impatient to sit down and watch a story build so it just whizzes past anything of substance.<br/><br/>Too fast, too cliché and nothing new here at all. Pity. I am struggling to recommend this.
