BIONIC WOMAN: THE REBOOT - COMPLETE SERIES (NBC 2007) Michelle Ryan, Miguel Ferrer, Katee Sackhoff, Isaiah Washington, Molly Price, Lucy Hale, Will Yun Lee, Chris Bowers, Mark Sheppard

From executive producer David Eick (Battlestar Galactica) comes this high-octane action and thrilling reimagining of the 1970s sci-fi classic.  

In the Bionic Woman reboot, Jamie Sommers (Michelle Ryan), is a young bartender, struggling to make ends meet in San Francisco, while serving as a surrogate mom to her teenage sister Becca (Lucy Hale).

Nearly killed in a violent car accident, Jaime is given a second chance at life by a cutting-edge operation – performed by her boyfriend, Will Anthros (Chris Bowers) – that repairs her body with cybernetic replacements. Jaime's top-secret modifications include: two bionic legs, a bionic right arm, a bionic right ear, a bionic right eye, and nanomachines called anthrocytes which are capable of healing her body at a highly accelerated rate and protect her natural physiology from the rigors of using bionics.          

Equipped with superhuman strength, enhanced vision, and unmatched agility, Jamie is thrust into the world of espionage as a reluctant hero for a covert government agency called the Berkut Group. Jonas Bledsoe (Miguel Ferrer) is responsible for Jaime and assigns her missions for the Berkut Group.

But Jamie's new abilities come with a heavy price as she struggles to balance her dangerous double life with her relationships, personal ambitions, and growing concerns about the agency’s true motives.

The dynamic cast also features Katee Sackhoff as Sarah Corvus – the "first Bionic woman" and a nemesis of Jaime. Corvus' bionics are malfunctioning; she believes that Jaime's newer bionics may be the key to repairing hers, Isaiah Washington as Antonio Pope – an advisor in the Bionics program – an "outsider with a mysterious agenda" with the power to either help Jamie or bring her down, Molly Price as Ruth Truewell – Bledsoe's second in command, Will Yun Lee as Jae Kim – a specialized operations leader with the Berkut Group, and was romantically involved with Sarah Corvus, and Mark Sheppard as Anthony Anthros – the father of Will Anthros and one of the original developers of the bionic implants. He escapes prison at the end of the first episode. Although intended to be a recurring character, the series left the air before he could return and further his story arc.

With intense action, dark intrigue, and complex moral dilemmas, Bionic Woman delivers a gripping journey of one woman's transformation into a superhuman force.

This DVD collection includes every heart-pounding episode prduced, with bonus features that explore the technology, the groundbreaking special effects, and the impact of a bionic hero for a new era.
