Dark Angel

Corruption, untrusted media, armed militias, good coffee hard to come by, and the almost mystical safe haven called Canada.

Reality in the US? I don't know, but for sure the premise of "Dark Angel" set (coincidentally?) in 2020.

James Cameron, we need closure! For 2020. And the show. Is a season 3 with a moderate happy ending really too much to ask?

I have watched this series for the first time on DVD. Actually, I just finished last night. I agree with the many of you that there were things that could have been done better. However, I really enjoyed the series! I only wish it had survived at least 2 maybe 3 more seasons. Sure there are many "cliche'" scenes and some "bad acting," but over all, for me at least, it was a very enjoyable escape into a world of unending possibilities. There were many memorable characters. Of course Jessica Alba as Max is a great reason to watch this series, but so is Jensan Ackles. I grew to actually like Alec. Who can forget the lovable mutant Joshua, the romantic struggle between Max and Logan, and the excitable action sequences? I'm just saying, many people are focusing on the negative aspects of this show. If you look for things to complain about, you'll find them. But if you just sit back and enjoy it, not worry about how "lame" something might seem, you might actually find something quite satisfying to watch. I give this show a 9.5 out of 10. But that's just me.

The pilot was awesome, and the first season was great. We couldn't wait to watch it every Friday. Jessica was excellent for the part and played it extremely well. The supporting cast also did a great job, and the characters and plot was working very well.

When the first season ended, we couldn't wait for the second season. Unfortunately, as the second season progressed, it appeared that the story writers were running out of steam. It seemed to me that they made a wrong turn with the plot along the way, and they couldn't seem to find a way to get back on track. It was an awesome show, it definately had potential, and it is unfortunate that it had to end like it did.

Dark Angel is one of my all-time favorite tv shows. Jessica Alba was at the top of her game and kicked as the main character, Max.

I will never forget how awful I felt when it was canceled right after reporting it was confirmed for season 3. It's been almost 20 years now and I'm still sad about it.

I have had both seasons on DVD since they went on sale and I watch them at least once a year.

I feel like canceling this show was one of the worst mistakes Fox has made, or Camron (not sure where the fault lies) and it would have been successful if they let it have a few more seasons.

For anyone interested, there are a few books. Book 1 takes place before the show, book 2 takes place during the time of the show and book 3 takes place after the show ended and most importantly, it ties up all the loose ends left when the show ended on a cliffhanger.

If you get a chance to watch Dark Angel, I absolutely recommend it.

Oh! Season two bonus: Jensen Ackles goes from a small part to part of the main cast.

I agree with a previous poster that said the show needed better writers...and more specifically, better DIALOGUE writers. I loved the show and wish it would have continued on for more seasons. I felt Jessica Alba did an excellent and convincing job acting with what she was given.

And to the poster who said she wasn't athletic enough...you're a complete idiot! One of my first thoughts was that, besides her acting and her looks, she was perfectly picked BECAUSE of the athleticism.

I hope that they either bring the show back, or they do a feature film with the original cast.
