TV Review: Painkiller Jane - "Catch Me If You Can"
Published May 11, 2007
-- Even before it aired, other reviews and comments really seemed to pin their hopes on the fourth episode, as if saying, if you haven't got what it takes now, you never will. And as mentioned, the episodes are now being aired out of sequence so there's goes any pretense when I look for evolution of character traits and story arc.
The Doc is in this episode for less than a minute and Joe Waterman, mentor guy is nowhere to be seen.
Now that I've read about the show I've started noticing the short cuts as a result of the small budget. I hadn't even thought of the budget before, but apparently it's no one million dollar an episode deal. Of course, the blue screen of death from the out-of-control train in the opening scene of episode three was a big clue as well. In this episode it's obvious they're wandering around a back lot of the studio.
Lastly, I've been enjoying some of the reviews titled "Painful to Watch" that complain about the show being cliche-ridden. Comedy gold.
