Dark Angel - The Complete First Season (2000)

bad

I liked it but that doesnt change the bad acting, awful supporting characters, horrible lines, ect. This show could have been a lot better. While there are a load of things about it i didnt like the one thing that REALLY annoyed me was the characters lines. The characters sound like a bunch of kids pretending they are play fighting. The only one who really sounds (and acts) down to earth is michael weatherly's character. The whole girl power thing really sucked. I like strong female characters but this was a joke. Jessica albas constant threats about beating the crap out of someone gets annoying after a while. Her friend in the series origanal cindy's defining quote is "yeah you better run cuz origanal cuindy just came outa compton on ur @$$," as jessica alba just dispatches a group of 5 200 pound body builders behind her back. She couldn't even take on one (he ran away after seeing albas character take on his partners). All in all if your anything like me your gonna have this in your collection at some point or another but if you like high quality acting and so on, I would watch an episodwe or two before buying.

LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!!!

So sad that there wasn't a third season. They got picked for a another season for like a day but then they dropped them. Dumbest move the network made. July 30, 2008

Best show that got cancelled

This show was made before 9-11 about a post 9-11 world. It deals with USA in a depression after terrorist sent up a nucular air pulse that killed all the computers and sent the world back to the dark ages. With crime running out of control our hero Max (the lovely Jessica Alba) is a geniticly enhanced super soilder who escaped from her test lab prison. I still can not forgive Foxfor cancelling this show. BAD FOX! BAD FOX! July 2, 2008

Why I Loved Jessica Alba

I don't know if you like Jessica Alba; the star. I don't. But I loved her riveting and imaginative sitcom! I never missed an episode in a time when there wasn't "On Demand" or a sitcom DVD mainstream. You're lucky. This is very cheap for a great season if you appreciate a dark story, a Buffy-like, gun hating heroine with only a few trusted friends and a bloody past. Although I do not recommend straying from Season One, there is a controversial and interesting plot throughout. May 28, 2008

Loved the series - my comments are about the different DVD sets available

Amazon has the complete first season DVDs listed twice, once for $28 and once for $36, and the only difference between the two items seems to be the picture on the front. The second season is also listed twice, for $28 or $40.

However, the complete series is listed for $45. I just received my order, and it really does contain each set of season disks. I recommend getting "Dark Angel - The Complete Series" unless, for whatever reason, you're interested in only one season.
