Just as executive producer David Eick helped reinvent BATTLESTAR GALACTICA for a new generation, he gives the 1970s series THE BIONIC WOMAN a slick update here. Jamie Sommers (Michelle Ryan, EASTENDERS) lives an average life as an average woman, but a horrific car crash upends her quiet existence. Scientists have saved her life, but she is now the less-than-proud owner of high-tech body parts that give her incredible strength and speed. Indebted to the scientists, Jamie now has to use her powers for their projects while she conceals her new abilities from her younger sister (Lucy Kate Hale, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER). Miguel Ferrer (CROSSING JORDAN), Molly Price (THIRD WATCH), and Will Yun Lee (WITCHBLADE) co-star as people employed by the secretive company. But it's the guest appearances from Isaiah Washington (GREY'S ANATOMY) and especially Katee Sackhoff (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) as the first bionic woman that give the action-driven series an extra shot of energy. Features the complete first series of the show.

A re-make of the popular 1970's television series, Bionic Woman revolves around Jaime Sommers (Michelle Ryan), a bartender who is saved from death after receiving experimental medical implants. While adjusting to her new bionic powers and raising a rebellious younger sister, Jaime agrees to work for the Berkut Group, a quasi-governmental private organization that performed her surgery.

Okay, so this may not be everyone's cup of T, but in my opinion, it's pretty damn excellent. I genuinely experienced all emotions whilst watching this program, laughing at some bits and actually caring about the characters throughout. I think Michelle Ryan is excellent in the role, and as much as the americans gave negative feedback on her accent, I honestly didn't notice. I am gutted this will not be making a return for another season as we were finding out more about the characters in the show and it's certainly left me wanting more. If you're a fan of Michelle Ryan, or if you just fancy a bit of action/drama then this is definately for you. Loved the cast (Sarah Corvus aka the 1st Bionic Woman, played by Katee Sackhoff was fantastic - truly psychopathic & Miguel Ferrer playing the role of Jonas Bledsoe, Jamie's boss, was also an excellent choice). If you haven't seen it yet, give it a go 'cause I honestly believe it's worth it!!
