    Wish it did not stop.

    I really loved it. The first season is the best. The second one is okay but it does get boring with Joshua. The first one has some good things in it. Jessica tried to know more who escaped Menticore and faces hard time.

    I wish, I really wish we had someone starting from season 3 but sadly it wont happen. Jessica has her family and wont be bothered doing this thing again. I have to say she did a really good job here.

    Come on James Cameron, make us happy and start another Dark Angel series.

    Find someone who looks like Jessica Alba and make it happen, just have a try and I am sure people will like it.

    Don't do things just because of money. You have enough of it.

    Having it play in Seattle would be really nice. Somehow I love this city.

    Thanks

    Cameron S.O.S

    This show started with much promise, but I think it is fading fast. Unless James Cameron takes a more hands-on approach and start doing some of the writing and/or directing himself, this will be another one of those short lived TV series that will be rerun on either TNT, SCI-FI, or FX cable channels ad-infinitum. I think that this show suffers from the same problems that the PRETENDER suffered from: it just keeps recycling the same good guy(girl) vs. bad guy stuff while continuing to build up on the subplots with no discernable solution to the questions the subplots are raising. In order for these types of series to succeed, the producers, in my humble opinion, need to tie the various subplots at some point to THE main plot of the show and relegate the good cop vs. bad cop episodic plots to the back burner.Of course this would mean, one suspects, that at some point the series would be over, because the main plot would be solved. The other thing that bothers me about Dark Angel is the hunter vs. the hunted theme: we've already had this in The Fugitive, The Incredible Hulk, The Pretender, to some extend in The Profiler, and probably others that I haven't even heard of. Can we get rid of it? It is the biggest cliche on TV right now. Cameron said in an interview that he would only come in to direct and write an episode if it could be ground breaking enough and something that had not been done before on TV. Now's the time to do it, Jimbo. If you care about this project, save its life, please! I would submit that that is ground breaking enough.

    Please bring back Dark Angel James Cameron

    I bought every season and episode of Dark Angel and was very disappointed when it was axed. I would really implore that this continues even if set from a few years later, or another version of Dark Angel is made with the original cast, particularly Jessica Alba.

    Jessica Alba is perfect for this role and with the popularity of Arrow, The Flash, DC Legends of Tomorrow, Spergirl and various others, I am positive that Dark Angel in this day and age would be welcomed back with open arms by great deal of people, myself included.

    I've recently been watching them again and they thrill me every time even though I've seen them all before. I am so pleased I bought the whole set and am enjoying them as much as when I first watched them on Television. Please James Cameron and Charles H. Eglee bring it back and continue it from where it was left off. I guarantee it will be well accepted.

    kind regards, Jennifer Atterton

    My heart was broken when it was canceled!

    Dark Angel is one of my all-time favorite tv shows. Jessica Alba was at the top of her game and kicked as the main character, Max.

    I will never forget how awful I felt when it was canceled right after reporting it was confirmed for season 3. It's been almost 20 years now and I'm still sad about it.

    I have had both seasons on DVD since they went on sale and I watch them at least once a year.

    I feel like canceling this show was one of the worst mistakes Fox has made, or Camron (not sure where the fault lies) and it would have been successful if they let it have a few more seasons.

    For anyone interested, there are a few books. Book 1 takes place before the show, book 2 takes place during the time of the show and book 3 takes place after the show ended and most importantly, it ties up all the loose ends left when the show ended on a cliffhanger.

    If you get a chance to watch Dark Angel, I absolutely recommend it.

    Oh! Season two bonus: Jensen Ackles goes from a small part to part of the main cast.

    The show's OK... Alba is awesome

    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.

    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.

    Bottom line: If you are looking for a short entertaining show and you like Alba, this one's for you.
