DVD Reviews of DARK ANGEL SEASON 2 (DVD) ENG DOL SUR/FRENCH DOL/SPAN DOL/1.33:1

DVD Review: Dark Angel Season 2
Summary: 5 Stars

The video was in excellent condition and arrived earlier than the expected day. I personally loved Dark Angel and wish there had been a season three.

DVD Review: One hot series.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of my favorite shows and I haven't found any show since that I have been so pleased with. Though you don't have to purchase season one to understand what is going on in season two I would highly recommend that you do. You will get your money's worth and I am sure you will love it as much as I do. If you think its just a girl show you are very wrong because every male I have talked about it with says they loved it too. Several have bought the sets like I have. I am now purchasing the books because unfortunately the show only lasted two seasons on the air. The network was crazy for not continuing it. If you have watched Supernatural which is on now you will notice that Jensen Ackles character's personality is very much the same as it was in season two of Dark Angel. Alec (Jensen's character named because he is such a smart alec) brings more humor to the show and paired up with Jessica (who is usually taking things very seriously) they make a great team.

DVD Review: Dark Angel rides again
Summary: 4 Stars

I enjoyed the second season as much as the first. It gets more into Sci-
Fi in the second season. This leaves it wide open for a movie. Who knows.

DVD Review: DA Season 2
Summary: 3 Stars

I think is good but I is nothing compared to the first season. It too sci-fi for me.

DVD Review: Not as good as season one
Summary: 3 Stars

The second season started with promise but its shift in direction was ultimately disappointing. The writing had a different focus and spirit. The first season had its political undertone, with Eyes Only's subversive broadcasts, an oppressive Military Protectorate (via the sector police) and the U.S. as a "broke ex superpower" mired in depression. This political undertone largely disappears in the second season as the level of violence is ramped up, and this plus various gags change the character of the show. The Holloween episode was so inane I couldn't watch it again. The focus of Eyes Only became more trivial. Nonetheless, some of the episodes were very well done, such as the Berrisford Agenda with Jensen Ackles, and the finale, Freak Nation.

A bizarre snake cult replaces the secret government Manticore project as the main villain....moving the show further away from reality. As one reviewer points out, the commentaries are a worthwhile addition on this DVD. Apparently the shift in the show was motivated in part by the more conservative political climate after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Nonetheless, I do recommend this DVD, especially if you got hooked on season one. It's unfortunate the show was cancelled after season two, as there were plenty of loose ends and potential directions they could have gone in. I did read the two follow-up novels, but unfortunately they suffer from some of the defects of season two compared to season one and do not resolve all the loose ends adequately.

Description of DARK ANGEL SEASON 2 (DVD) ENG DOL SUR/FRENCH DOL/SPAN DOL/1.33:1

Various

The second and last season of Dark Angel, the inventive James Cameron show about mutants during a future Depression, has some real strengths as well as one or two bad ideas that partly explain its much-regretted cancellation. Among the strengths are Alex (Jensen Ackles), the thoroughly unreliable mutant charmer whose flirtations with heroine Max (Jessica Alba) complicate her doomed love for Logan (Michael Weatherly), the crippled newshound whom she cannot now even touch--she has been infected with a deadly virus tailored specifically to kill him. The distrust this sows between the doomed couple does not always avoid soap-opera clich?s, but often produces fine performances from all three, especially Alba.

On the deficit side, John Savage's memorably ambiguous villain Lydeker from season 1 (who is alternately the mutants' nemesis and their protector) disappears to be replaced by the melodramatically sinister Agent White (Martin Cummins). White appears to be just a shoot-to-kill operative of the state and turns out to be another sort of superhuman, a product of an occultist breeding program going back to the dawn of history. After White's first ruthless killing, Max's reluctance to use deadly force is tested to near-implausible limits. The show ends with a rousing and moving finale, "Freak Nation", in which a theme often neglected in this final year--Max's relationship with her fellow couriers at Jam Pony--reaches a powerful climax. --Roz Kaveney
