| | Customer Reviews: Good while it lasted (22 August 2008)This was one of the best shows on tv at the time mainly due to ms alba. The first season was better but the second was nowhere near as bad some people think and it wasn`t cancelled just because it didn`t get the viewers apparently it`s viewing figures were pretty good, it was cancelled mainly because they wanted the slot for america`s next top model and the two main stars then went on to do other things, in jessica`s case become a big star in hollywood. As for ms alba`s acting, i`ve always thought she is a good actress, james cameron thought she was since she was the only one he wanted for the role. I was really hoping that a film version of dark angel would be made to tie up loose ends. if you like beautiful girls and action then this is the boxset for you. ok terrible compared to first season yet saved by a star in the making! (14 November 2007)Yes season 1 was great James Cameron does these types of shows credit however the second season as all before has mentioned is highly flawed both in direction & way to many things added way to soon. However its a great shame re-watching the thing now to just how great it is in general & three stars were borne from this second season MW obviously & Alba (why?) & last but by no means least a very baby faced Jensen Ackles here! The boy saved the show literally for giving depth way & above the material given & also had the best episodes of season 2 being The agenda epi & Hello Goodbye. Well worth the buy on that account plus Michael - Alba - Ackles played well of each other & put it this way the show gave them the key to the door to fame. All three doing well since but I got to say its Jensen Ackles that makes this season worth the buy superior actor in the making & even puts Michael Weatherly in the shade! So for Supernatural fans this is a must & Alex was a worthy addition to season 2 great shame about the rest of it though. Great - But only Thanks to 'The Pretty' (26 April 2006)The second and last series of Dark Angel was below par compared to the first series, mainly due to the bog standard plots and Jessica Alba's limited acting skills. The series is saved however thanks to the lovelyness and superiour acting talents of Jensen Ackles a.k.a Alec, i.e The Pretty/mmmAlec. In particular the episode TBA where his character Alec finally gets to shine and his acting skills on show. This, to me, is the only reason to get this series. If you like this, pre-order Supernatural with Jensen and Jared also starring. Full of lovely fangirl prettiness. Wrong direction... (31 March 2006)Dark Angel season 1 was a great introduction to the characters and storylines of the Dark Angel world. It was set in a believable world. And it was, at times, an exciting series. Series 2 should have improved on that debut with more interesting characters, more action, deeper storylines and even more excitement. It only succeded on one of those accounts. Let me explain. There are a few fundamental problems with series 2. Firstly, it's unbeliavability. It may have been set in the future, but it was a future that could have come to be. Believable, as it were. However, season two brings in human/animal hybrids, and puts the series straight into fantasy. It seems like they were tryting to copy Buffy The Vampire Slayer - we get monsters, vampires, religious cults. We get what are called transgenics, humans who look half human and take on animal instincts. This just doesn't work. It ruins the Dark Angel world. Genetic humans was fine, believable, they are just enhanced beings. But mix them with animals, and it all starts to get a bit silly. But at least the make up is good. The second stupid thing the film makers did was separate ourtwo main characters. Jessica Alba and Michael Weatherly have a scren chemistry about them, particularly in the first series. However, by series two, Alba has been infected with a virus that will kill Logan if he touches here. they spend the ENTIRE series apart. That's no fun. We want to see them together, not force each other away. That's another point - the show is overly depressing. No-one ever gets what they want. If something good happens to a character, teh scripters have to weight that down by then doing something bad to that charactrer, seemingly to make up for their moment of happiness. Not only does that mean the show gets very depressing, there is also no hope that things will ever work out. And finally, the new characters are just plain annoying. Alec, all arrogant, blustering, annoying swagger who needs to get rid of his ego trip, and plain, boring, comic relief Joshua, half dog half human who just gets on your nerves. Baddie this time round, White, is just a sub-Lydecker, who isn't very evil, or menacing, and just comes across as a petulant schoolboy who hasn't got what he wanted. In fact, it makes the characters who were annoying in series one look much better, and its a shame you don't see more of them and Jampony. But, the few things that have kept the series good are it's marvellous action scenes and fights, and two outstanding episodes where Max battles an evil clone of herself (TWO Jessica Alba's...mmmmm) and any episode with Zach in are excellent. However, this is the last Dark Angel series because it was cancelled half way through. That meantthe scripters had to wrap up all the storylines - and that's a lot of story! The final five episodes are fast paced excellent affairs, however, tied in with this problem is the fact that the storylines are just too big, and they never get satisfactorily concluded. If you watched the first series, then you should watch this. Despite being poor most of the time, it does at points exceed and live up to the original series. It was a shame that Dark Angel was cancelled because if it went on to a third series then it would explain what happened to the mutants (or freaks). |
