In the year 2009, a genetically enhanced female super-soldier named Max escapes, along with others like her, from a secret government institution codenamed Manticore where they were made and trained to be soldiers. Months after her escape, terrorists detonate an electromagnetic pulse weapon which destroys the vast majority of computer and communication systems in the US, throwing the country into utter chaos.
Ten years later, 2019, the series follows the life of the now 19-year-old Max as she struggles to search for her Manticore brothers and sisters, while trying to live her life, learning to trust and love, and evading capture.

The show starred Jessica Alba as Max, a genetically-enhanced supersoldier spliced with feline DNA who searches for others of her kind, while trying to lead some semblance of a normal life.
The tone of the second DarkAngel installment is definitely different: while the previous season consisted just of Max’s evasion of Manticore, season two concerns Max’s assertion of her abilities and her use of resources to fight the Manticore Corporation and bring them down once and for all.
DarkAngel: Before the Dawn (2002) is a prequel to the television series, taking a more detailed look at Max's past between 2009 and 2019.
DarkAngel is the new sci-fi series from James Cameron, the same man who brought you modern classics like The Terminator, T2, Aliens, and all-time box office champ Titanic.
The main problem with DarkAngel, is that while the backdrop for the story is pretty intriguing, the story itself really isn't.
This was certainly true for Farscape in the beginning, so I'll reserve judgment on DarkAngel for the time being.
