This is much more violent than the original. I would not let our 12 year old watch it. The characters all have major issues and bring a lot of 'darkness' to the show. It is only the first episode so I am hoping it will focus more on the 'cool' effects rather than one character trying to kill the people that she feels betrayed her.
I grew up watching the original and this is definitely not the same show. Now, it's been many years since the original and I wasn't expecting the same show and I must say WOW. It was great, entertaining, but not for the younger set. It is definitely an adult program. My husband and I can't decide which to watch, Private Practice or Bionic Woman. Thanks Tivo.
This program was not what I expected, it was very violent, small children to grade school should not watch this due to the vivid imagination they have. I thought the language could have been left out. The graphic car scene was very violent. I grew up watching the older 70s version of the Bionic Woman and this threw me for a loop. This program is not one of the ones I'll be watching often unless the language and violence is toned down for children since I have a grade school child in my home, and I don't particular like the images I saw from the first showing. Parents should reconsider watching this with your children.
