#2: Painkiller Jane (2007)

“Painkiller Jane,” a 2007 television series based on the comic book character, starred Kristanna Loken as Jane Vasco, a DEA agent who discovers her rapid healing abilities after joining a covert government agency tasked with tracking genetically enhanced individuals known as “Neuros.”

Despite its potential and alignment with contemporary superhero narratives, the show faced criticism for its inconsistent writing and character development. User reviews on IMDb highlight these issues, with one reviewer noting the series’ “complete lack of focus” and “sloppy” execution.
