Another high rated show that I never got into. Dropped out after ep13.

There are several things I didn´t like. First off the whole look and feel of the show in general. This is a production from 2000 that is supposed to play in the year 2019, the near future you might say, yet everything screams late 80s early 90s to me. That generic soundtrack is adding up to that fact massively. Next, Jessica Alba is not selling the character for me. And I´m not talking about her acting. She was young, unknown at the time and you don´t expect Emmy quality. I´m OK with her performance, No, I´m having difficulty with a 5 ft 5, 120 lbs super soldier. That´s just not right. It´s not convincing. And last but not least the whole concept of the secret-government-military-organisation-genetically-enhanced-children-turned-super-soldier-programm-with-escapees-beeing-hunted-down feels a bit overused. Althought on that point the blame is with me because chronological Dark Angel came before alot of the other shows and I just watched it now.

Anyway, at no point during the 13 episodes I watched I had the urge to continue. And it took me three weeks to get that far, normally I do 5 eps a day. None of the characters got me interested, the plot was predictable. I pretty much felt bored throughout the part I watched. So I dropped it.
