Dark Angel

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.

This isn't the best show out there, but it is pretty good. The writing is OK (if a bit predictable) and the acting passes(nothing special), but the real reason to watch is Jessica Alba. She does a superb job and I never got bored with the show, which is unusual for me.

I can't figure out why they would cancel it, it had tons of viewers, but if you are looking for more you can read several books that were written continuing the story. For those hoping it will come back you are out of luck because it has been years now since it was canceled, but i still haven't given up hope of a feature film sometime in the future.

Bottom line: If you are looking for a short entertaining show and you like Alba, this one's for you.

I really loved it. The first season is the best. The second one is okay but it does get boring with Joshua. The first one has some good things in it. Jessica tried to know more who escaped Menticore and faces hard time.

I wish, I really wish we had someone starting from season 3 but sadly it wont happen. Jessica has her family and wont be bothered doing this thing again. I have to say she did a really good job here.

Come on James Cameron, make us happy and start another Dark Angel series.

Find someone who looks like Jessica Alba and make it happen, just have a try and I am sure people will like it.

Don't do things just because of money. You have enough of it.

Having it play in Seattle would be really nice. Somehow I love this city.

Thanks

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.

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?
