Dark Angel...anothe mistake by Fox

[somerfrost]

This was a series that I never had the opportunity to watch, I had heard good and bad comments about it and Fox cancelled it after two seasons (ironically, their excuse was to make room for Firefly...what a joke!). Having time on my hands, I decided to give it a chance and I'm glad I did. Jessica Alba is a very attractive young woman, I doubt I'll get few arguments even here about that, but I was always told she couldn't act...those folks are wrong, she was wonderful in the lead role of Max here. The entire cast is excellent and the story lines run smoothly with continuity, the character development is excellent as well...I found myself caring about all the major characters as well as the minor ones. Michael Weatherly was engaged to Jessica at the time this show was shot and their natural chemistry is apparent. Jensen Ackles was great, especially in season two and Valarie Rae Miller as Jessica's best friend was absolutely spell-bounding! James Cameron created this show and directed the final episode. All in all, a dark show that won't be for everyone but probably should be required watching for all high school kids due to it's very important message and (unfortunately) dead-on depiction of the American mindset.
