I was just wondering if anyone watched this last night and if so what you thought of it? I thought Michelle Ryan was very good, and it certainly left me wanting to watch next weeks episode. Very Happy

I never saw it but according to BBC News, over two million watched it which is a great success for ITV2.

I wouldn't get too far into this one!

It was a great success in the USA for the first few weeks, then sank like a stone.

In the end it was getting similar viewing figures to the (vastly superior IMO) Journeyman on the same network (NBC) -- and that show has been cancelled.

It looks like BW is going the same way.

I'm confused - I thought Bionic Woman HAD been definitely cancelled? Wasn't the decision taken even before the WGA strike? But now it's only LIKELY to be cancelled? Anybody know for sure??

BW started our good in the ratings then it went down, and thanks to the WGA strike, it's been tipped that NBC are considering axing it. Hasn't been denied or confirmed yet.

I am now presuming that they are waiting to see how well it is received overseas and whether they can get foreign broadcasters to cough up money to make a new season - possibly a mid-season replacement (ala Baywatch style). otherwise it'll get the axe

I watched it last night and it was quite good. I'll certainly watch the next couple of episodes to see how it goes.
