Product Description Sub-titles are: English for the Hard of Hearing, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish. .co.uk Review The second and last series of Dark Angel, the inventive James Cameron show about mutants during a future Depression, has some real strengths, as well as having one or two bad ideas that partly explain its much-regretted cancellation. Among the strengths are Alex, the thoroughly unreliable mutant charmer whose flirtations with heroine Max complicate her doomed love for Logan, 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 clichés, but often produces fine performances, especially from Jessica Alba as Max. On the down side, John Savage's memorably ambiguous villain Lydeker from Series 1 (who is alternately the mutants' nemesis and their protector), disappears to be replaced by the melodramatically sinister Agent White. White appears to be just a shoot-to-kill operative of the state but turns out to be another sort of superhuman, a product of an occultist breeding programme 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. On the DVD: Dark Angel's Series 2 release is ungenerous with special features, giving us an interesting but short documentary in which James Cameron, producer Charles Eglee and various designers describe how they created this rundown future Seattle with a mixture of location shots, set dressing and CGI, as well as a preview of the Dark Angel game. --Roz Kaveney

The End for Dark Angel?
Dark Angel, the hit TV series by James Cameron, was discontinued after its second season, much to the fans' dismay.In the year 2019 the U.S. has become a third world country in the wake of the Pulse - an electromagnetic shockwave unleashed by nuclear terrorists in 2009. This is Max's world, a broken world, an unforgiving place even for a genetically engineered soldier like her. On the run from her creators and constantly in search of her past, Max joins forces with the idealistic cyberjournalist "Eyes Only." She's a revved-up girl trying to make a run-down world a better place.Season Two picks up several months after the first season. Max, believed to be dead by her friends, is given a life saving transplant and incarcerated within the Manticore compound. No-one can get the better of Max for long though, it isn't long before Max has found a way to escape, destroying Manticore and releasing the other transgenics.Max soon realises the universal truth - that people are afraid of what they don't understand. As more and more of her fellow 'transgenics' become the objects of hate with the city of Seatle, and are hunted down by the ruthless NSA operatives who seek to destroy all evidence of Manticore's existence. Max assumes responsibility for releasing the transgenics into the 'real world' making it her own personal mission to ensure their safety from those that would seek to harm them.

dark angel series 2 review
i bought dark angel series 1 & 2 from the same seller since it is my favourite tv show from when i was young and i really wanted to own it on dvd. series 2 arrived before series 1 did, i suspect that it was due to the holidays that the second parcel took some time to arrive. the box and dvds were in a great condition for being a used item and i am very pleased with the order. i highly recommend this seller and know that i will buy more items from their store.

The item: prompt delivery; value for money; all discs working nicely!The content: Yep, sure some of the acting could've been better, but it is what it is. And with that, I enjoy it as much as I did when it first aired.

Exceptionnelle !
Aujourd'hui on ne sait faire que des séries bourrés de cota d'acteurs et de personnages qui se ressemblent tous !La série raconte une histoire et ne fait ni politique ni ne donne des leçons de morale.Dans la droite lignée des séries avant tout fait pour l'histoire on y retrouve un personnage attachant vivant dans un monde où les USA se sont effondrés.Une série exceptionnelle ! A voir absolument

Incredibile meglio del nuovo, meglio dell'edizione italiana
Ottimo prodotto usato come nuovo, Verissimo è arrivato sigillato la versione tedesca è tutta in unica confezione sei dischi tutti insieme, meglio della dispersiva, poco pratica e con gran spreco di plastica di quella italiana.la consegna è arrivata in 6 giorni invece dei 12 previsti.Fantastico per non parlare del prezzo Incredibile
