Trivia:
Although both shows are listed as only having 21 episodes, they each have 22 episodes when re-aired. The first season has 21, but the pilot is approximately eighty-five minutes (twice the length of other episodes). The second season (and series) finale, "Freak Nation," is an hour and a half, which splits the episode during re-airings. more

Haven't I seen this plot before?, 14 March 2002
Author: D'Amico from Canada

How well I remember the pilot...a little girl named Max escapes from a top-secret government facility where she has been bred specifically to be a super-human. One day, she escapes, but is separated from her 'brother', who she then searches for. It's fascinating to think that what is done in that government facility is possible...and amazing to think that one little girl on her own who has been super-enhanced can escape. Waitaminute...that was the plot of a James Patterson book that came before 'Dark Angel' even hit the screen. Hmm. I guess James Cameron couldn't come up with the idea on his own, or even a name.

The series itself isn't bad. It's not great, but if you don't mind getting mired in to a side-plot, then it's really not bad. The first few episodes of the show were the best, because it was when Max was still concerned about finding out about herself. Then the show seemed to dwindle...it's still well-acted, but some of the writing has suffered. Although it's nice to see that Michael Weatherly ends up romantically involved with yet another of his co-stars.
