Dark Angel

Dark Angel was a SF series produced by James Cameron (and who directed the pilot) that aired at the turn of the century. It ran for two seasons.

Former child star Jessica Alba plays the lead as Max, an "enhanced" human supersoldier who's hiding out in the shattered city of Seattle (this city, along with its outlying areas, was hit by a massive EMP burst in the past) after escaping from her captivity by the government in the far-flung future of 2019.

But in Cold Comfort, the seventh episode in the first season, it looks like the government has caught up with Max.

After being captured, her wrists are tied together in front of her with a zip tie, and her shoes are removed, leaving her barefoot.

I like the sassy look she gives one of the guards when he warns her to not try and bite her way free of the zip tie around her wrists.

The first season of Dark Angel is the best version, with its dark noir blend of action and dystopian cyberpunk science fiction.
