    Why did i watch that? PAINfully i persisted..but i can watch no more.. hide show

    Sorry i will have to be negative on this one. Painkiller Jane is just plain stupid.
    How annoying when Jane does so much commentary at the beginning of each show. I just don't understand the idea of these people "neuros" being locked away because they are different,with the possibility they may commit a crime some day. How did the team survive before Jane. Capturing neuros would mean that Jane should have been locked away. Why didn't they lock her up because she was different? The title of this series alone is killing me. The acting all round is bad. Jane should lose the attempt at the posh pout or as i would call it, "the don't i look stupid pout" Anyway,i have seen many episodes so i have been fair and my criticisms are based on the pain i received from watching this series. Goodbye Painkiller Jane and team.

    After a rough start Painkiller Jane found it's way and became a decent show. With nothing but a host of c grade actors Kristina Lokken being the most well known. The show had everything against it and the writers had some trouble finding hide show

    After a rough start Painkiller Jane found it's way and became a decent show. With nothing but a host of c grade actors Kristina Lokken being the most well known. The show had everything against it and the writers had some trouble finding their way. Although most of us stuck around an hour to get us through to Stargate Atlantis and a very smart move by the programming directors at scifi. Pretty standard scifi show each week our hero's go after the monster of the week and Kristina did her best to be the resident hottie. The stories took shape around episode four and we really started to identify with the characters and the world they were immersed in. Sadly after an abysmal start not enough people were left to bring the show back. Lots of folks missed out on this nice lead in due to a bad premiere. The show left off on a new direction it was about to take but we'll never know. Good news is the show is on dvd and I would suggest adding it to your collection it's worth the twenty-two or hours we were given.

    This Show was based on the comic book "Painkiller Jane" hide show

    Kristina Loken Played Jane. The Show was quite Intertaining I think it should be brought back ..... I know a lot of people that were disapointed When they found out it was canceled .... it was a great tv seires with good actors and a great story line that left you wanting more every single time you watched it , and I beleave that it would have been a very much watched show with the age group of 18 - 29. It need to come back on Sci - Fi or at least show reruns of the Episodes that did air.

    Glad it isn't coming back hide show

    This could have been a good show. For the life of me I do not know where it went wrong. Maybe they did not have enough money to make a good show. Maybe they just did not care. I thought the first few episodes were pretty good but it went downhill REAL fast. I like Kristiana Loken, and I do not blame her for the shows demise even though she was listed as an executive producer.

    As hard as they were to watch I actually did watch every episode and even though the season finale did leave a return open, I am glad that the SCI FI channel decided against it.

    7.7 Good

    Started off fresh.... Then aggghhhhh!!! hide show

    I must say this this time of year is a bit of a nightmare for me. There are hardly any decent shows on TV and I spend the whole summer waiting for September and the start of all those great shows.

    Well I thought this time there might be something I could watch. Painkiller Jane....

    I must say, I enjoyed the first few episodes and was actulally looking forward the the next weeks new epsisode. Unfortunatly this didn't last and I have found the last 6 or 7 episodes a real bore, the acting has got worse if that is possible. Where did they get those Eastern European accents from??

    All in all, I can't say I'm supprised its been cancelled.
