The new cast members are set aside for a throwback Max-and-Logan hour where she fights her way out of the titular hospital with his outside tech support. Having forgotten about “Dawg Day Afternoon,” “Harbor Lights” was what I remembered to be my favorite Season 2 hour before this rewatch, and I’d still recommend it as the episode that illustrates “Dark Angel” in its purest form. Max, Logan, Alec and even freelance photojournalist Sketchy (the underused Richard Gunn) have parts to play in what is almost “Die Hard in a Sewer.” It’s capped by White upping his Evil game and shockingly murdering Annie, leading to a sweet moment where Alec and Max hug the grieving Joshua.

But the tunnels are delicious, and a bevy of extras on the streets gives full flavor to the accelerating public bigotry against transgenics. The plot isn’t original it’s just Joshua and his blind girlfriend Annie (the wonderful Kandyse McClure from “Higher Ground”) being pursued by sector police through the sewers.
“Dawg Day Afternoon” (episode 18, written by Robert Doherty) Here are my rankings of the 21 episodes of “Dark Angel” Season 2: 1. I wouldn’t want to live in “Dark Angel’s” 2020 rather than the real one (although, admittedly, it’s a closer call than it should be), but I love visiting the post-Pulse world.

Dimly lit yet colorful (via neon or judicious lighting) alleys, sewers and warehouses – plus Joshua’s homey (in both senses) house – make this show a pleasure to look at. Watching it on DVD, I think “Dark Angel” might actually make Vancouver and its surroundings look even better than “The X-Files” does. I didn’t notice it so much on my first viewing because I got Fox over-the-air and it didn’t come in crisply.

Alba has said she likes Season 1 more, but she does professional work here, as does Weatherly.Įvery David Mamet film, ranked (except ‘The Water Engine’)ĭurand (later of “The Strain”) is outstanding, and future “Supernatural” star Ackles is a natural smart-alecky talent – even if I had reservations about the presence of both of them.īut what propels “Dark Angel” Season 2 back toward “great” territory is David Geddes’ cinematography. Still, the writing of the overall narrative is tight in the back half, as that “X-Men” (and sadly, real-world) theme of bigotry plays out, often with TV news clips and protesters providing a scope beyond our heroes. But the plots of the mutant-of-the-week episodes tend to be similar. The creature designers usually do a bang-up job creating humans with fish, mule, sand frog, etc., in their cocktails, and dog-man Joshua is a particularly winning design. Worse than that are the episodes that introduce a mutant, whom White aims to track down, and whom our heroes then rescue from White. It’s a hoary device in addition to ripping off the Rogue-Gambit tragedy that said, I don’t desire lots of scenes of Max and Logan “gettin’ busy,” as Joshua would put it. Max and Logan’s “they can’t be together” dance is solidified by Max’s virus – one last gift from Manticore – wherein Logan will die if she touches him. “Dark Angel” Season 2 has a lot in common with “X-Men” – the recent series “The Gifted” came to mind a lot on this rewatch – and the weakest episodes are those that heavily draw from that popular franchise (which had jumped from comics to the big screen by 2001).

This gives him skin in the game in the buildup to the finale, although it’s always a little strange that a cult that aims for genetic purity loathes Manticore’s X series – like title heroine Max (Jessica Alba) - which is made genetically pure via their births in labs. Lydecker (John Savage) is supposedly dead, but we know he’s not really, but he doesn’t return from his vehicle crash in episode three.Īmes White (an effectively sneering and slimy Martin Cummins) starts as a pathetic villain – tasked with tracking down and executing the escaped Manticore mutants – but evolves into a more interesting one when we learn he’s part of a breeding cult.
