    This is quite watchable, I guess it has been over shadowed by Heroes. It doesn't have the slick production of that show but its quite entertaining. How lame to give this a O because it spoils your Google searches?

    PKJ has a good premise and could have been a good show. Generally a show that has super people should be about the super people, like Heroes, or show both the Feds and the super people like The 4400. Showing just the Feds side of things can be good like in Alphas but in PKJ it just doesn't work because the writing is so bad. Its not terrible but the plots are just too bland.

    Sexy girl changes hair colour, makes all the wrong decisions, and is somehow rewarded for it despite the entire scenario being her fault. Awesome.

    The funniest thing about this is that they ended it on a cliffhanger because they actually thought they could make a second season.

    What’s most mind-boggling about this show is how it manages to get every single thing wrong.

    This creaky, cliché-strewn, and pretty cheap-looking sub-X-Files enterprise needs to drastically improve if it wants to become as death-proof as its lead character. [13 Apr 2007, p.69]
  3. "Painkiller Jane" has been reincarnated as a far lamer show than it was on first view more than a year ago.
