Max is a genetically-enhanced human prototype hunted by her former military handlers through the edgy, underground street life version of 21st century America. Max is aided in her quest - both to avoid capture and reunite with her "siblings" scattered in the aftermath of their escape - by Logan Cale, an idealistic cyber-journalist battling repression and corruption in post-apocalypse.

''''They designed her to be the perfect soldier...''a human weapon...then she escaped. In a future not far from now...in a broken world...''she is haunted by her past. She cannot run, she must fight...to discover her destiny.

max and other like her where part of an governement experimnet.basically the government got all this women to have this babies.once this women was with child.the government did experiments on the unborn baby with cat dna.

this made max and others liker her perfect killing machines b/c of the cat dna.the cat dna made max have superstrength to fight,she as superhuman refelexes to react faster than any person on the planet,she also as superspeed where she can run very fast,she has very good eye sight in the dark,and she can see very far away.she also can heal very fast and give out blood to anyone.she is a good fighter..

the governent trained them all in martial arts,and taught them things that make them very smart and basically perfect.

the problem came in when the children started to think they could take the government down.they all wanted to be free so they all escape the place that made them and they all made their way in the world.

max kind of grow alone wondering if any of the others made it out like she had b/c when they escape the ppl that made them were killing them to stop them from getting out.basically once they were out the place called maticore they all where on their own.

max works at jam pony which is like fedex.she delivery boxes.she then meets logan who then helps her find her brothers and sisters if she help him with taking down bad guys.

max soon learns the government made them b/c a great threat was coming and they wanted an army to fight this threat.max soon learns that they are others like her but they arent land soliders like her or her brothers and sisters..she meets soliders that were made for the water.she even meets soliders that were made for underground.(this soliders are seen in season 2 and they dont look human btw)max soon learns that that maybe maticore had a good reason to make them espeically considering max learns the faith of the world depends on her and her actions.

the show is very good.jessica able is very good with all the stunts.season 1 she was learning how to do them all but by season season 2 she was doing all her own stunts.

there are alot of characters with depth and personlity.this show is very good with characters like angel,and buffy the vampire slayer if u asked me.....

season 1 was good b/c it was a good way to start of the show but i found season 1 to be kind of boring plot wise.the acting wasnt so good and the story had not alot of depht to them.i only stayed watching b/c jessica was good to look at but at the same time i enjoyed seeing what was gone happen next in every episode. even though i didnt really like the plot.

season 2 was very good i have to say..the acting by jessica was very good.you wouldnt even notice that was jessica in season 1 when u watch season 2.i like the plot more b/c the show was more scifi.alot of fans didnt like it though.i loved it b/c its how i thought the show was gone be when it firsted started off but didnt.i like how the writers gives us more information on this soliders.i like season 2.

this show would have been given a higher rating by me but i didnt like how fox axed this how they way they did.a season 3 would have been great.i also never really like the fact max lived in a pulse future.basically max lives in a world where bascially everyone is very poor and dont have alot.

its a shame the show lasted only 2 seasons.the show does kind of wrap up loose ends but it leaves questions unanswered..i will say watch this show.i like the action.the characters are very loveable,the acting got better in season 2,but i like the stories more in season 1 and like the plot better in season 2.but its a good show.moreless

i think it all ended far to soon, and if they bring it back for another season or movie they could make a lot of money out it so why not.moreless

"Superb"

By tomo_21, May 08, 2011 Report Abuse

i think they should make ethier another season of even a movie with the war between people and the mutants, i also think that it would be better if Max and Alec got together and logan finds out and tells the people who are huntiong them down as revenge. They should start with the war starting. Max should go into heat and get with Alec, but afterwards she should say something like "thats the first time i've did this and not regret it" and Alec should reply "me too", and that should be the start of them, and the reason for logan betraying them.moreless

Max is a genetically engineered super soldier with amazing abilities.

"Superb"

By song85, May 08, 2011 Report Abuse

While this show ended prematurely, it was an exceptional show. Dark Angel tells the story of Max who escapes with 12 of her brothers and sisters from the facility that they were being held. Present day is in the future where nuclear bombs have wiped out infrastructure and its everyone for themselves. Max has amazing abilities that come in help as she tries to find the rest of brothers and sisters, and uncovers secrets about the organization that made them and trained them to be killing machines. Mas also helps her friends and others along the way, but she is wary to hides her true identity from almost everyone.moreless

"Perfect"

By AuntyBubbles, May 08, 2011 Report Abuse

Oh my god i really really really loved this program. At first i ahd never heard of it before and then one night i was flicking through the tv channels and came across an epsiode of Dark Angel. i was completly hooked and couldnt wait for the next one and decided to get the box set and then realised there was only few seasons. This was such a good program why did it have to end?? jessica alba plays a great character in this as max. the storyline is different and intriguing.. come on jessica you know you want to come back as the Dark Angel!moreless

Dark Angel centered around Max Guevara a genetically engineered super soldier who escaped the confines of her quaters along with 12 of her fellow soldiers in 2009. Finally free Max must keep a low M.O. to prevent her re-capture.moreless

"Great"

By Adamman89, May 08, 2011 Report Abuse

Dark Angel was far from a perfect show, but that didn't stop it from having a lasting impact as a true cult classic. One thing that was to be counted on from Dark Angel each Friday night, was yet another demonstration of the human spirit, and the struggles we all have, to live happy, normal lives. Despite the fact that the main character herself was not entirely human.

I would reccommend this show for anyone interested in seeing a true heroine not waiting for her male counterpart to save the day. Max kicks butt as well as any guy, and get's the job done without breaking a sweat. So, if you're into lots of action, sci-fi type story line angels, and the true good fight of good vs evil, this is your show.moreless

This one has Alec and I added Lydecker because he plays a good foil.
