Summary
James Cameron's Dark Angel premiered in 2000 as a genre-bending sci-fi series starring Jessica Alba. The pilot episode had a two-hour runtime, which required Fox to ask its local affiliate stations for a special programming favor to accommodate the extended premiere. Despite being a hit at the time, the show is rarely discussed today.
