Dark Angel

Three episodes in so far. This show's working for me about 70/30 -- most of the 70 being on the concepts (I'm a sucker for a good post-apocalypse) and Michael Weatherly's lived-in performance as Logan Cale. Jessica Alba is sometimes flat, but sometimes she gets a real spark of charm that smooths over those bits quite nicely. The whole angle with Manticore is already wearing thin -- the hapless pursuer trope has been done better and John Savage is way too much of a dick for me to buy.

I think I'm on episode 5 right now. And you're right. Things just got very complicated in an interesting way.
