I was ready to write off Dark Angel as a fun time capsule of the early 2000s, but as it turns out, not all of it was reminiscent of a Delia’s catalog or a TRL-era music video.ĭark Angel is set in a post-apocalyptic, economically-depressed America, more specifically Seattle. To be honest, barely halfway through the pilot episode I had already gleaned everything I needed to know to write the above paragraph. This appears to be a BMX-themed bar… But It Wasn’t All Bad Not to mention the fact that the show seemed to be overly fascinated with action sports, from BMX to motocross, which made sense during the height of the X Games, but not so much now. Even though Dark Angel was set nineteen years in the future, the fashion, the music, the dialogue, and even the special effects all place it squarely in the beginning of the aughts. This may come as a surprise to no one, but a show that debuted in the year 2000 doesn’t exactly age well.
THE DARK ANGEL ACTRESS SERIES
So I unburied the DVDs (the series isn’t streaming anywhere, at least not legally) and popped them in the DVD player to see how their 2019 compares to our present day. So why am I revisiting this show now? Well, as it turns out, Dark Angel was set in the year 2019. The series ran for just two seasons before being cancelled and becoming a footnote in a Family Guy joke. The James Cameron created, Jessica Alba starring TV series, Dark Angel premiered in 2000 on FOX.
