I'm not going to claim this show has aged well, or that it was even all that great during its peak, but it was cyberpunk.
Created by James Cameron, the show was was about a genetically engineered super soldier (Jessica Alba) who escaped from a secret government facility to hide in the cyberpunk city of Seattle. She works as a bike courier with a bunch of other low-lifes and can barely afford rent. She meets up with an underground activist who's trying to expose the lies and cover-ups of governments and corporations. Society has totally broken down and the corrupt police force has checkpoints setup between neighborhoods.
So a totally cyberpunk premise, but the show was basically a CW show before the CW existed. It's all beautiful 20-somethings and cheesy writing. And then season 2 came along and the show was now about all the half-human/half-animal hybrids Jessica Alba helped escape from the secret government facility in the season 1 finale. It got weird.
Here's a clip from early season 2 where Jessica Alba's character returns to work after almost dying in the season 1 finale:

Yes, her friend's name is Original Cindy and her boss's name is Normal.
I'm not sure if I'd call this post a recommendation since I can't find many good things to say about it. But I've seen the entire show and I'm curious if anyone else remembers it and has more fond memories of it than I do.
I remember enjoying the show and thought about rewatching it, but I'm worried that it's best left alone. Rewatching some older shows hasn't worked out lately
