Show Summary

EDIT

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.
During the theme, the opening voice-over was as follows:
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.
Dark Angel was filmed on location in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.moreless

Dark Angel, Jessica's best

9.0

By Hunterkiller66, Sep 17, 2012

I loved this show. I wish it had lasted longer than 2 seasons. Though the second season felt a bit cut from the same cloth as X-Men, it was still unique enough science fiction to be compelling. Manticore needed stronger villains, but Jessica Alba has yet to make a movie as compelling as this James Cameron masterpiece. Netflix has to add it to its instant offerings

Best role ever for Jessica

8.5

By BlueFlame, Sep 03, 2012

I've yet to see a movie/t.v show where J.A is as comfortable and believable as she was throughout this series.

Sure it could have done with a bit more grit, and the continuous U.S.T between Max and Logan dragged on far too long; but it was an enjoyable show with likable characters. Plenty of 'sass' and humour, mixed with the sci-fi futuristic stuff. Dark Angel definitely deserved another season!

By RaymondKulbac, Jul 08, 2012

This was the best freaking show ever no pun intended.Jessica Alba was so hot and very believable as max it also had and all star cast b4 all star cast were popular now ev show has an all star cast . I wish fox or even james cameron would make a movie .I also feel that it could still b a hit show a season three would be awesome if Buffy the vampire slayer and angel lasted so long y didn't this this show is 100 times better than both of them . i wish tnt or fx would have done instead of fox fox sucks bring back season three cause i still want to know what was going on with Ames& his freaky shit so if james cameron reads this make the freaking movie & @ least finish the storymoreless

Dark Angel: Should It Come Back?

8.0

By ElmoNichole, Apr 19, 2012

**WARNING: SEASON 2 SPOILERS** In my own personal opinion, the plot line of Dark Angel, a bunch of genetically enhanced kids escaping from a secret government agency, was a bit O-T-T, but it was still a very interesting show. Max, the heroine of the show, a Transgenic escapee from Manticore and played by Jessica Alba follows the typical 'I just want to be normal' superhuman stereotype, and at the end of season two it was plain that the writers were struggling. Still, the show itself was entertaining at times, and heartbreaking at others. However, the most disapointing thing about Dark Angel was that it was never really finished. They do not tie up all the lose ends in the show, like what about Max and Logan and the virus, or Ames White and his breeding cult were bringing about the doomsday, but it never happened. And what happens with the transgenics in Terminal City?? Personally, I think they should start again with new actors and actually finish the story this time. But, of course, no one can replace the wonderful job done by Jessica Alba(Max) and Jensen Ackles (Alec).moreless

Who run the world?! (GIRLS)

8.5

By Loralee_jk, Mar 06, 2012

LOL that song comes to mind!

I loved this show when it came out? I was like 9..11?

I loved the flashbacks of Max as a kid & all her crazy brothers & sisters :)

Know what I didn't love? Logan! He has ruined that name so hard! Sorry Wolverine!

Hes a dick! He was nice @ the start, but I mean srsly! Max should be with someone of her 'own kinda' and I get the play on that they were trying to make re: racism or something. But srstly! She's a freaking half animal & probably robot. Ya she should be with her own kind!

And Alec was the best! She just didn't like competition. She was soo mean to him! He did better then she did in like 1/2 year then she did in 10 years.

But ya. I'm so happy for Jessica Alba now! Her 2 daughters are soo cute!moreless

POLL: Fave character?
This one has Alec and I added Lydecker because he plays a good foil.
