Review of Painkiller Jane

10/10
Based off a comic book.
2 May 2007
The show is based off a comic. The show started off in a less than stellar manner with the shaky camera work and revealing all the twists before hand. The voice-over was also excessive in the first episode. These problems were fixed by the second episode. The voice-overs were still slightly excessive but by this week's episode, the third episode, it is fitting. They have it in the beginning and end. I don't know about others. But to me it gives it more of a comic book vibe. There also seems to be some attempt to adding a moral or concept in the beginning and having the episode based around that. I'm not big on moral tales, but this show pulls it off nicely. The show is increasing tremendously every week, with the story lines and character development in each episode, which is another way it relates to comics. I think the actors are getting more comfortable in their roles. This show given time could be a major success.
