Bionic Woman (2007)
1/10
Blatant, god-awful drek

Warning: Spoilers
I wish I could get the hour of my life back that I spent watching this absolute homage to crap. It's hard to tell what's worse, the writing or the acting, but does it really matter. Michelle Ryan is the most uninspiring lead imaginable, although you cannot fault her for the horrendous script she has to attempt to breath life into. And when I say horrendous, I truly mean it. Shame on writer Laeta Kalogridis for churning out ear-splitting dialogue that would be considered poor by anyone who's completed an education beyond the first grade. Miguel Ferrer is wasting both his talent and time by appearing in a series that apparently exists solely to employ a cast and crew of hacks. Every feeling, emotion, and reaction is completely forced and an affront to the intelligence of the average viewer. Furthermore, the music used is HORRIBLE and obviously a desperate, tacked-on attempt to draw in female viewers. Nobody who works on this show knows the meaning of words such as "subtle" or "finnese". Perhaps when it goes off the air (which cannot be soon enough), this show can be shown in wards housing comatose patients in order to keep them company, but honestly, it is probably not even worthy of such use.

PS: Notice that the doctor is clearly shot in the right shoulder and when they load him onto the ambulance in the next scene, the paramedics state "male victim with gunshot wound to the left shoulder." Yeah...Nice production work NBC.
