Most television series acknowledge the importance of the first season, a precursor to the however many running years a show has. ALIAS has not let its viewers down. JJ Abrams, most famous for his work on FELECITY, comes to us with a breathtaking reinvention of ther spy series.
Syndey Bristow, a strong-willed graduate student has two worlds: one of a regular student who spends her evenings home with her friends and fiancee, Danny. Another of an international spy for SD-6, a black-ops division of the CIA. But, when she decides to bring pieces of the worlds together, by telling her fiancee of her double life, SD-6 has him killed. In a brilliant pilot, Sydney's work life is revealed to be a sham, she is not working for a black-ops CIA division, but a syndicate of an international terrorist organization, the Alliance.
The first season follows Sydney and her pursuit to end the success and livelihood of the group that killed her fiancee and took seven years of her life, mainly SD-6 director, Arvin Sloane. With her father, another agent at SD-6 (Victor Garber), she becomes a double agent for the CIA, working with her handler, Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan), to bring down the men that destroyed her life. Filled with interesting plots, ALIAS provides an incrediblely easy way to spend an hour entertained. With the constant mystery of how much of Sydney's life revolves around those she does not know, the character of Miss Bristow continues to fascinate viewers.
An Excellent Spy-Action Series Much Better Than I First Thought, 2008-07-12
A friend of mine who's a big fan of the show first introduced me to this series at first I thought they would make it to idiotic with Eye candy women like Pamela Anderson's former show V.I.P.(Don't ask me why I watched a few episodes to this day even I can't give a reason.)but I was happily amazed at how suspenseful,dramatic,and lots of action there was in the series. You have Sydney Bristow(Jennifer Garner)who's recruited into what she thinks is an shadow department of the CIA but is in reality a independent group of former special agents with their own worldwide agendas. When Sydney finds out the truth she begins working with the real CIA to destroy this rogue agency. I forgot to write about it but the other reason she now hates this rogue faction is that they had a rule that no outsiders were to know about them or what her true job was but as
Sydney who is about to get married decides to tell her fiance the truth about herself the shadow agency makes sure he can't tell anyone by killing him. I have all five seasons now and while some of the episodes aren't the greatest for the most part are still pretty good. So if you like the spy action shows I say try this series out you might just be surprised at how good it really is... Customers who bought this item also bought:
