Dark Angel is an American cyberpunk television series that premiered in October 2000. Created by James Cameron and Charles H. Eglee, it starred Jessica Alba (pictured) in her breakthrough role. Set in 2019, the series chronicles the life of Max Guevara (Alba), a genetically enhanced super-soldier who escapes from a covert military facility as a child. In a post-apocalyptic Seattle, she tries to lead a normal life, while eluding capture by government agents and searching for her brothers and sisters scattered in the aftermath of their escape. The first season, which was shown on Tuesday nights in the U.S., received mainly positive reviews and won several awards, including the People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama. For the second season the show was moved to the less desirable air time of Friday night, and received some criticism for new plot elements. It suffered from a ratings drop and was cancelled. A series of novels continued the storyline, and a video game adaptation was also released. Dark Angel is considered to have gothic and female empowerment themes, with Max following a long line of strong female characters in Cameron's work, including Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley.

 * Support. I completely forgot that the show was set in 2019; it is kind of strange/surreal to think about it. Aoba47 (talk) 23:15, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
