Summary: What it is all about
Review: I watched it when it was a t.v show so i know a lot about it so i am going to tell you people who didn't get the chance to watch it when it was on t.v what it is all about. The show took place in the future and there was this place called maticore that was designing soliders for the military.The soliders were genetically engineered and very strong.One day the soliders escaped and one of the soliders names was Max. The show followed her and her life after escaping Manticore.If you buy this dvd you can see how she fights off the government and escapes them over and over again with the help of her friends and the other Maticore soliders. This is a great show for people who like a lot of action, some comedey, and adventure. I myself highly recommend the first and second season of Dark Angel.

Summary: Great Show! Worth Buying!
Review: This show is very well written and directed. The casting is also excellent as the actors on this show all did a wonderful job. The first season was a little better but this second season alone still leaves other shows in the dust. Since the show was cancelled due to high production costs at the end of this season, the final episode leaves some questions unanswered but I still highly recommend this set of DVDs. You won't be disappointed!

Summary: Another great season! (Some spoilers...)
Review: Having never seen the show when it was originally broadcast, I bought season one and got hooked, so naturally I had to get season two. I had read some negative reviews about this season but after seeing it for myself I realized that those reviews were misleading...Yes, season two was different in a lot of ways from season one, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment. One big difference was that Lydecker (John Savage) was phased out and replaced by Agent White (Martin Cummins). Although I really liked John in the first season I eventually found Martin to be quite good too. (You really get to hate White after a while!) Another difference was the advent of the transgenics in season two. Other reviewers have stated that the show became a "freakshow" in season two but in my opinion this only happened in the last couple of episodes. Joshua was definitely an interesting character and a good addition to the show. Some of the other transgenics were quite good too, notably "Mule" who was in a couple of episodes. (He was cute and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him when he met his fate.) Some of the new characters I actually preferred to the first season - I found Alec in season two to be very funny and fun to watch, as opposed to Zack from season one who was about as interesting as unbuttered toast... This season still retained all that made the first season great - the chemistry between Max and Logan, Max's friends at Jam Pony, great action scenes, humor, and even a few genuine sad moments. (However, I was dissapointed that there were no episodes when Max was "in heat"; I loved those episodes from season one!) The extras are not quite as good as the first season but still not bad. Another commentary by Jessica and/or Michael would have been nice, as well as more audition footage. (I would have loved to have seen Martin Cummins' audition for Agent White!) All in all, if you haven't seen this season, don't listen to the negative reviews - buy it!

Summary: What? That's It?
Review: So let's see. Season 2 deals with the fallout of Manticore, a Breeder's Cult, and racism against transgenics. My my, how could it get good? You never find out what's up with the breeders cult or even have a final faceoff between Max and White. You don't find out what happens between Max and Logan, or even the Freak Nation for that matter. They never find a cure for the virus Max has. And humanity is still a group of dumb old morons, even after 2000 years of evolution. Why couldn't they finish this with a happily ever after twist; is that oh so hard to do? Even the creators say there were several disapointments, in the final episode, with their audio commentary. Atleast I know they agree on that. I know I wouldn't mind seeing Amy Dumas and Jessica Alba duke it out again. As for Freak Nation, I say keep on fighting.

Summary: Why did they cancel this show?
Review: After watching this season, I can find no reason why they cancelled this excellent show. Second season is pretty much a completely different show from first season, but it is still awesome. Second Season focuses more on Manticore and the Mutants whereas first season was more about Max finding her brothers and sisters. I prefer first season myself, but I still love second season. Bling and Herbal are no longer in this season and their absences arent ever explained. But there are four new characters in this season. Jensen Ackles plays Alec, a twin of Ben from season 1 of this show. He was really a great addition to the show. He brought a lot of comedy to the show and a lot of drama at the beginning of the season. Ashley Scott plays Asha, a character I didnt care for too much only because I really like Max(Jessica Alba) and Logan(Michael Weatherly) together and she was only in the show to try to tear them apart. Scott even says so in the special features in Max:Ressurected. Kevin Durand plays Joshua, the first creation of Manticore with canine DNA. Joshua made the show more about science fiction. So if you like that, you'd like him. Martin Cummings plays Ames White who kind of takes over Lydecker's(John Savage) role as the bad guy. Although I hate him more than I ever hated Lydecker. Just watch Dawg Day Afternoon and you'll know why. Some of the best episodes of this season are Designate This, Fughettaboutit, She Aint Heavy and Freak Nation. The special features aren't as great as the first season. For one, there isnt any commentary by Jessica Alba and Michael Weatherly which was extrememly funny and interesting for And Jesus Brought a Casserole in first season. Also the bloopers werent as funny and were only about half as long. Of the three featurrettes, only Max:Resurrected was interesting. It was about 15 minutes long. Go buy this today!

Summary: Straight to DVD
Review: You ask me, (and okay, you didn't) they should make a 3rd (4th, 5th, etc...) Season that's just straight to DVD, hell with Fox (or whatever channel was hosting it before). I'd snatch it up in a heart beat if it was on DVD (Don't bother with TV anyway).

Summary: Too Bad No Season Three
Review: The acting and plot archs are even better than Season 1 DA, and we can probably never find a better collection of handsome, talented male leads. (Logan and Alec = eye candy for the girls!) However, since the season's finale was filmed before the cast and crew knew FOX would cancel the series, don't expect a satisfying wrap-up of the storylines. If you are like me, you'll find yourself totally entranced only to curse the bureaucratic know-nothing lackeys at FOX who allowed the series to end without closure for its fans. Still, though the series ends prematurely, it's well worth the time and money investment by any DA or sci-fi fan. DA remains one of the most clever and visionary science fiction dramas.

Summary: Dark Angel is...
Review: Such a good show, with great potential for another season. The only thing that James Cameron doesn't have, is the guts to kill off one of the main characters, like on Buffy or especially Angel. That's the only part where he fails, and he never kills the bad guy within the season, they always have to hang around. Dark Angel was very creative, funny at times and dark at other times. Though, Alec made a very good point in Hello, Goodbye, where he says, "We're not like them, we don't belong with them." to Max, and of course, he is right. I always thought it was weird for Max to hang with Logan and Cindy, because they don't live in the same worlds. There's no way they can understand what each other are going through, which is why I think Max and Logan could never work out. Max was trained to be a soldier, not a good lover, and she tends to keep to herself, a lot, which is not good for someone like Logan, who probably needs to hear her feelings out loud, it's just my opinion but Max I think, is destined to be alone. I haven't read the books yet, but I did start, this show was brilliant none the less and in no way, should have been cancelled, that's a disgrace and Fox should have brought them back because the books aren't the same as the show, speaking of:
Designate This- 5/5 A great beginning to the second season, where Max is infected with an virus that is set to kill Logan if she touches him. Meanwhile, Max meats Alec(Ben's twin) and Joshua(the dog boy) in a cave
Bag Em'- 4.5/5 The new bad guy arrives to terminate some of the remaining X-5's from when Manticore was blown up in the previous episode, and that bad guy, is Ames White. Martin Cummings is the new and better bad guy. Lydecker was awesome, but he never really seemed like a real bad guy at heart, and it shows near the end of the season where he betrays Manticore, and here is shown helping out Logan. And, Alec is forced to help some of X-5's being hunted.
Proof of Purchase- 5/5 Alec is captured by White and he promises to kill three of his own kind, so White installs a bomb in his neck, not very big, but it will get the job done. Alec has 24 hours to kill 3 transgenics(however you spell that). This was a cool episode!
Radar Love- 4/5 Things get complicated between Logan and Max while some guy working for White tries to kill everyone within the city limits.
Boo- 4.5/5 A dream sequence featuring a headless villain Max must defeat, Logan playing bingo, Normal & Sketchy hunting transgenics and Max denying who she realy is.
Two- 4.5/5 Joshua's old pal is back and killing because he is angry. Kinda a gross episode, but Max and Joshua connect well here.
Some Assembly Required- 4.5/5 Zack is back and has a new arm and eye, in robot function while he works with a bunch of steel heads. Max rescues him but it turns out, Manticore had fed him some stuff about Logan being a traitor, and Zack goes all terminator on Logan.
Gill Girl- 4.5/5 The mermaid story. White tries to get rid of mermaid who happens to be a transgenic.
Medium is the Message- 5/5 White stages a setup to kill his wife and send his son to school, where he can become involved in White's breeding cult.
Brainiac- 5/5 A big guy named Brain, designed to forgettable, oh and psychic(sorta, he uses different words), tries to help Max uncover a traitor amongst the S1W.
The Berrisford Agenda- 5/5 Alec delivers a package with Max to the same place where he killed a girl he loved a few years back, when he worked for Manticore.
Borrowed Time- 4/5 Max finds a temporary cure for the virus, lasts 12 hours but the virus comes back afterwards, meanwhile, Logan meets another transgenic who is captures humans.
Harbour Lights- 5/5 Max gets shot in the crossfire while trying to protect a kid, the CIA makes some great discories about what she is. White tries to cover it up, oh, and tries to kill her too.
Love in Vein- 4/5 A psycho transgenic has people hooked up on his blood, he's building an army. The best part is where Max kicks their girly butts.
Fudgedaboudit- 5/5 It's funny! About a girl named Mia who can hyptnotize people and make them forget everything they told her, she finds out all their darkest secrets(Max is an X-5, Logan is Eyes Only), makes Alec get back into the ring, he kicks everyones butt, until Max decides to take him on. Everyone bets on Monty Cora(aka Alec) while Mia bids everythin on Max.
Exposure- 5/5 White has turned the table and has been working with one of his breeding cult partners to eliminate the transgenics once and for all. Max captures his son.
Hello, Goodbye- 5/5 Logan mindlessly touches Max and goes into the hospital, Alec is captured for a murder his twin commited and Joshua meets a blind girl.
A Dawg Day Afternoon- 4.5/5 Joshua escapes into the sewers with Annie(the blind girl), while he is chased by some punks. They get on the news and all the cops are there. Max is forced to rescue Joshua, while he leaves Annie behind for the cops, but she only finds Ames White.
She Ain't Heavy- 5/5 Max meets her match, X5-453, as she tries to kidnap Max to protect her family. Logan is finally tracked down and White's crew destroys all Logan's equipment. Joshua goes to terminal city, to join the other, so called "freaks".
Love Amung the Runes- 4.5/5 And we begin to reach the finally, where war is starting to enrage between humans and transgenics.
Freak Nation- 5/5 A two hour finally, which is really just over an hour, thanks to adds, 20 minutes longer then the regular episodes, and this is where the war really starts.
A Great season with good special features to keep you going, like a documentary, and the always funny bloopers. Be sure to buy this, a truly classic show!!

Summary: How do you DO THAT?
Review: how do those guys make such a move like jumping down a building and like setting a place on fire and then not runing but walking away, how do u do that?
it's so obvious that stuntmen help out but the special effects, generally how do u do that.
Dark Angel sits down a building and then they show the tap thinggy on the back of her head we go in and then bam, she's in action.
dark angel was really really good, i don't know why did it end only two seasons.
the first time i saw dark angel i wanted to puke, and then slowly i moved to liking it when i saw the action.
And then i had to love it.
Who ever didn't watch it, buy it now at Amazon.com, Now!

Summary: I WISH THEY HAD A SEASON THREE.
Review: Dark Angel second season was great. If you like Dark Angel season One you will love this one. I like the last eposide with Lita from the WWE that was hot. I also like the eposide where Josh meet the sexy blind lady, Why she have to die soon early? I also like Max sexy friend on the show Oringal Cindy, she is hot. I wish they had a season Three. The people over there at FOX are crazy Dark Angel was the best show they had. It was way better then Alis, Buffy the vampire and that boring show people go crazy over FRIENDS i hate friends it sucked, I couldn't relate, where were the black people? We should write FOX and demand that they bring back Dark Angel for one more season, at least let them finish up the book and let Max and Logan finally do the wild thing, you know?!
