Dark Angel isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it is compelling television that teen sci-fi fans will enjoy. While the dialogue sometimes falls flat, overall the show is well-scripted and well acted, and Alba does an excellent job of carrying the series. While definitely part of the "girls kick ass" school of TV dramas (see Alias and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Max's sensitive, introspective side also emerges as the series progresses. As more information about Max's enhancements roll out, viewers are treated to a richer portrait of the main character, learning exactly how and why she acts as she does. Alba's character Max, who has been genetically enhanced by shady governent agents to become a superior fighting machine shows real development over the course of the series, growing into a better friend and more moral person. DARK ANGEL creator James Cameron offers a richly imagined view of a post-apocalyptic near future where the world has been thrown into chaos thanks to a terrorist bomb.
