The Bionic Woman: Angel of Mercy (1976)
Season 1, Episode 3
8/10
The first 'regular' episode of TBW gets the series off to a good start.
30 April 2017
Most of the screen time is just Andy Griffith and Lindsay Wagner bickering. They have a great, natural chemistry and it's fun watching them interact.

The story is simple: Jaime must rescue an American ambassador who is trapped in a Civil War-torn South American country. In these early days, Oscar Goldman is still a little unsure and nervous about sending his newest agent. Even Jaime is a little uncertain. All of which adds to the drama and makes the show more believable and interesting.

The uneasy partnership between Jaime and her pilot evolves quite a lot over the course of the story. He starts off gruff and suspicious, but she gradually earns his respect. The script and the performers really make it work.

Jaime impresses quite a lot in this story. It's obvious that she's scared on more than one occasion, yet she never gives up. She's resourceful, admirable and very likable.
