Summary: Converting Everyone....
Review: I started watching ALIAS when my friends wouldn't stop talking about it in the midst of Season 1. Now, in my freshman year of college, I bought the first season, and thought I would introduce my roomates to it. Needless to say, we spent (literally) 3 1/2 days watching ALIAS! We could barely break for dinner! Its such an incredible show, with its intricate details, superb acting, and phenomenal plots! It is truly a must see television show. I don't have time to watch much TV, but everyone knows that, on Sundays at 9, everyone in my room and others are watching ALIAS. No questions - ALIAS is awesome!

Summary: WARNING: A well thought out script.
Review: My wife has watched this show since the beginning, but I never have as it interfered with my sleep schedule. After recently buying a new DVD player I was anxious to get started watching something. I bought "Alias Season 1" and "Six Feet Under" (which I would also recommend highly). Anyway, my plan was to watch one episode a week, or at most a couple, so I could make it last. So I'm thinking I can get through the 22 or so episodes in 10 weeks. Try 2.

Thats right! I would watch like three a day. I was addicted. Conversations in my house sounded something like this...

"Honey, come eat dinner."
"No, I'm watching Alias."

"Honey, help me with the groceries."
"No, I'm watching Alias."

"Honey, I'm pregnant."
"Wow, thats great, we'll talk later, I'm watching Alias."

I'm really serious. Every episode would end on such a cliffhanger you had to see at least the beginning of the next episode. But then the middle was so good you wanted to see how it would develope. But then another darn cliffhanger and you were locked in the cycle for good.

I can't wait for Season 2. I pre-ordered it at 3 in the morning because that was a minute after I finished Season 1. I'm thinking about starting AA (Alias Anonymous) until I can get my fix.

Summary: ALIASS IS ALIENATING!!!
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: ALIAS Season 1 : Wow what can I say!
Review: Alias has possibly got to be the finest TV show ever. Not only is it superbly written and directed but the acting is pure quality. It is truly a pleasure to watch.
Having watched the first season I just had to watch it again on DVD. Once you start watching it you just can't stop. Unfortunately, I am unable to view the second season due to it being aired on a channel in the UK which isn't available to everyone (Channel 5). However, having just seen that ALIAS 2 is out on DVD in December has just cheered me up.
Just have to say - the cast are fantastic.
Anybody not familiar with the series - trust me you'll love it!

Summary: good series
Review: I've been watching Alias since the beginning and it is one of the better shows on TV and probably the only one I really try to catch. First season DVDs were great.

But if you want to see the awesome series that Alias obvious emulates you should check out La Femme Nikita Season 1. It is an amazing series and honestly far better than Alias.

Summary: Review based on TV
Review: Season 2 smoothly picked up from where the previous season ended - the meeting between Sydney & her mom. Some personalities were given more depth & character in this series, such as Jack, Dorevko, & to a point Sloane. They are all human, with their own strengths & flaws. Some characters also present in Season 1 were given more active role like Will, Francine & Stark. Of course, not to mention the exciting development in the various relationships among our characters, which ended in a great 'twist' in this season's last episode. Truly a cliffhanger, which leaves its viewers anxiously waiting for Season 3 to be shown on air.

The only drawback in watching this series in TV is the presence of commercials, which come during the most exciting cuts. I highly recommend to view this series in video, for non-stop viewing. Surely, I will watch all episodes again as soon as I get hold of my Season 2 video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Addicted to Alias
Review: I only recently started watching Alias. I had seen advertisements for Season 1 on DVD and it looked like a pretty good show. So I went to a website and read summaries of every episode so I would be caught up for the Season 3 premiere. After watching the first two episodes of Season 3, I realized that this show is AMAZING!

So I immediately went out and bought Season 1 and I am so addicted to it! I can't stop watching these episodes! First of all, the soundtrack is amazing...the music adds so much to the show. The plots are always so suspenseful and almost always end with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more. I just can't believe that I hadn't discovered the show earlier, since it quickly became my favorite show ever! It's almost too tough to wait an entire week to see a new episode.

Fortunately, Alias is so good that you can watch these episodes over and over again and they'll never get boring; there's always something new to find. I was so excited though to hear that the Second Season would be released soon! I know the summary of each episode, but that's nothing compared to see the action on tv! I really cannot wait to buy season 2, because it is so full of suspense, especially the season finale!

(...)It will addict you so quickly it is not even funny. The acting is superb and added to the music, you get a perfect show. It's a shame that this show doesn't get more recognition, because it's the best show out there!

Summary: ALIAS RULES
Review: hey there.. Alias is the first show on television that I actually take off work to watch. Congrats to JJ Abrams and his amazing writing and to all the cast members for allowing JJ to express his skills.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great show, but where is the soundtrack?
Review: I think we all agree that alias is the best show in history, of course it's closely tied with buffy and roswell!! but what the show does not have in common with buffy and roswell is a soundtrack!!! Come on guys produce an alias soundtrack!!!!!
