I know! Dark Angel is one of the biggest mysteries of all time for me. I was so surprised how much I liked S1. The characters were likable, realistic, and flawed, but still sympathetic. I really liked Max. I felt for her. She just wanted to find her family and she was learning what it meant to be human.
By S2, there was so much different and wrong I don't know where to start. I can't even explain WHAT is wrong with it. On paper, the season sounds fine: a bunch of transgenics that Max let loose are having trouble assimilating. It makes sense that many would be failed experiments. It makes sense Max would want to clean up her mess. I loved the new characters, especially Joshua. (Despite Jensen Ackles being the reason for me to watch Dark Angel, it took me a while to really like his character here.) But the execution? OMG. Still no sure what they were smoking.

But I still mourn for what it could have been.
