This show had a lot of promise, but it always seemed like it was more about setting up what-if's and cliffhangers over deeper substance. Jessica Alba plays her role here better than in a lot of projects she did after. It is also undeniable that she is hard to take your eyes off of at any point during this series. Take an insanely beautiful woman and put her in tight black leather and this is often the case. Dark Angel never really got a chance to grow and evolve into what it could have been. The story lines would goto places that seemed odd for the original premise as it went further but could not find its way back. Maybe it eventually would have? We will never know.
