A group of genetically-enhanced children escape from a lab project. Years later we meet Max, one of the escapees who now works for a messenger service in the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest. In a future of political, economic and moral collapse, a genetically enhanced superhuman prototype named Max escapes from military confines and dwells amidst the decadent underground street life of *Seattle* to avoid government agents who want to bring her back into the fold. Searching for others of her kind who were scattered in the aftermath of her escape, Max encounters Logan, an idealistic cyber-journalist battling repression and corruption in post-apocalypse America. Eventually, Logan calls her to the highest part of her being and Max becomes his samurai as the pair takes on the ruthless power-brokers of the new millennium. Max and Logan's odyssey leads them closer to the secret of her past, deepening and complicating their relationship in the process. 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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Bottom line: If you are looking for a short entertaining show and you like Alba, this one's for you. It's official, FOX has decided NOT to renew Dark Angel, it's once greatest drama. This series is (or should I say was) about a young woman,and all of her fellow "government projects" escapes from their base camp and attempt to live a real life. Set in the mid 2050 somethings, the series shows that almost everything is done electronically and track down anyone at anytime. Thus have all of the experiments hiding to avoid being caught an killed.<br/><br/>The young woman, Max falls in love with a human being, who is also against the government and is trying to put things back how they should be. However, at the finale of it's first (or second) season finale, the government injects her with an infection that prevents her from touching her lover, Logan.<br/><br/>Confusing? It usually is if you're reading something about a series when you've never seen it! Now, the SERIES FINALE, which by the way, occured AT LEAST three weeks from this date, takes out the slightest possability of this being a spoiler, is in the next paragraph.<br/><br/>The series finale, directed by James Cameron, featured all of the humans who hate the projects (known as transgenics-mispelled?) versus all of the transgenics. Simplar terms- Humans vs Projects Not to ruin the ending for you, I'm just going to reveal that there isn't really an ending to this series. Cameron ended it in a certain way it could go back on the air. We'll have to see, but not this year.–––––––––––––End
