Summary: The best show you never saw
Review: The only thing you will hate about this DVD collection is the fact that you haven't been watching this show from it's inception. It is a remarkable romp in the world of spy life. Jennifer Garner is addicting -- gorgeous, vulnerable, smart, fiesty -- she' perfect in the title role. Writing gets a little cheesy every now and then, but you can sit through a few minutes for the rest of the explosive action, intrigue, and drama that happens. I bought this set because I was always interested in the show. I became addicted and watched every episode within three days. I cannot wait for season 2 to come out. I'm trying hard not to hear anything about the current season so I don't spoil it for myself. Anyone who loves smart, fun, intense TV will love this show.

Summary: One of the Best Shows!
Review: I am here to tell you, If you do not own Alias Season 1, go out right now and buy it! You will get addicted to this show. I have been watching since the premiere and I feel lost if I have missed a week. I got my niece, my friends and my dad hooked on this show. I am so excited that Season 2 is coming out in a couple of weeks! I will be one of the first ones to buy it. As you can tell, I highly recommend this show. You will forget to eat and sleep, believe me!

Summary: RICHLY ENTERTAINING -- THE BEST SEASON OF TV YOU'LL EVER SEE
Review: There has never been before, nor do I ever expect again, a season of any TV show as much fun as the first season of Alias. Following season one, Alias is still one of my favorite TV shows, but season one easily takes the cake for my favorite season of any TV series, ever. Alias is to spy thrillers what Star Wars is to science fiction: sheer escapist fun with enough underlying drama to give it some depth. Since it's designed to be escapist entertainment, it's not intended to be realistic (there's even a little science fiction worked in), but it's no parody either -- the superb acting, which IS emotionally realistic, is a pleasure to watch. Alias is a rich labyrinth of tense espionage, twists and turns, thrill-ride suspense, mysterious secrets, inter-organizational intrigue, character humor, and poignant drama performed by a top-notch cast. It's wonderfully complex, as any great spy-thriller should be, and in this case, complexity has never been so much fun. Alias is very serialized, so you must see it from the beginning! If you haven't been watching and you want to give it a try, then I can't recommend the season one DVD set heartily enough. If you've been avoiding trying Alias because you've assumed it's just another hot-chick action show, then, quite frankly, you have absolutely no idea what you've been missing. Although it is true that Alias is part action show and that Jennifer Garner is "hot," Alias is NOT just another hot-chick action show. On the contrary, Alias is in fact richly entertaining at a great many levels. This is reflected in the fact that season one was nominated for eleven Emmy Awards (of which it won two) and that Jennifer Garner won a Golden Globe Award for best dramatic actress for her role as Sydney Bristow in season one. The wonderful thing about this show is how it can have depth and wonderful acting but not be afraid to be a whole lot of fun at the same time. This show is SO MUCH FUN! Buy this set and prepare to sit on the edge of your seat!

Summary: I am addicted to Alias!!!
Review: I am a 34 year old woman and I am addicted to Alias. This is a fantastic, thrilling, complicated, action-packed series. I have never loved a tv program like I love alias. Jennifer Garner is a power-house of actions. She is a layered and complicated heroine. The supporting cast is awesome. The look of the show is amazing and every episode is like watching a movie. I am left breathless until the next episode. Seriously, folks, I love this show. For all of you who have missed this show because it airs opposite the Sopranos, you must not let this show slip away. The dynamics of all the characters and the plots. It is like a masterpiece painting that has been made into a jigsaw puzzle. Please buy this series and please watch the show on TV. You won't regret it!!!

Summary: My New Addiction
Review: I never seen this show before I bought the DVD set, I became addicted instantly. The plot has more twists than a pretzel factory. And the story keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's like Bond...only better. The writing is superb with a dry-humor to it. And the action sequences are great.

Summary: ASTOUNDINGLY AWFUL!!!
Review: This has got to be one of the most cliche shows I've ever seen. The plot has been done before and Alias makes a mockery of this once extraordinary plot. Jennifer Garner is a very blase actress. She speaks in a monotone and her acting techniques seem very forced. Not to mention the fact that she's too plain-looking to even be starring as a lead in any show. She belongs in character roles, or better yet off the acting stage completely. Her movements are very robotic, forced, and unprofessional. This was once an interesting and provocative plot, but has now been butchered and virtually destroyed by the Alias cast and crew. I wouldn't use these DVD's as a coaster!

Summary: Essential Review to Understanding the New Season
Review: Love Alias the show, Sydney, Jack, Marshall but sometimes miss an episode. So many nuances and twists, revisiting Season One is essential to learning about the quest for Rimbaldi, the history of Syd's mom and her connection to Rimbaldi, and how/who killed Sydney's financee. (which will all lead to a futher understanding of her disappearance at the end of Season Two). Watching it over again will lead to a better understanding and enjoyment of the show. If you've never watched it before and love an intelligent plot line, quirky characters and a tough chick who can fight but actually gets hurt sometimes (Syd is not a superhero!) then this Season One is Great Fun!

Summary: Complete rip-off of LFN
Review: I watched the pilot of this show anticpating something wonderful, what I got, however, was a wannabee LFN show with fluff. Jennifer Garner, while attractive, has the emotional depth of a cabbage and the interaction between characters was non-existent. Where LFN was dark, edgy and full of questions, Alias was warm and fluffy, concerning itself with making Sydney look good every episode. If you want to see a good spy show, with great characters and plot, watch the series that inspired this brightly packaged knock-off, watch La Femme Nikita.

Summary: Must Watch!
Review: If you're not watching this show, start watching it immediately. JJ Abrahms is utterly brilliant in his ability to bring a show together. There is much intrique, drama, romance, and action. Why more people are not watching this show is beyond me.
