Summary: Alias renewed my faith in tv again!!!
Review: Alias, is by far the best television show on prime time tv these days. Watching the DVD of season one intensified my opinion of the show. I found myself watching all six discs in a weekend. The episodes are addicting! The action, characters and plot are incredible. I'm counting down the days until season two (which should be out by now-fans are waiting...)and grin and bare it watching season three-with commericals and having to wait a week:(...Jennifer Garner is amazing as well as her chemistry with Michael Vartan-it only increases the desire to watch more! Victor Garber's character is fantastic! I watched season two last year and know what to expect, but can't wait!!! Anyone who likes good, woth-while tv, watch Alias and be surprised by the standard JJ Abrams just rose!!!

Summary: THE BEST ON TV ... ALIAS
Review: Unlike the standard programming on T.V. here is a show that is a standout. Not since La Femme Nikita on USA has there been a show this much fun to watch. Not only do you get romance, international intrigue and great gagetry, but you get a show with a heart. Sydney Bristow is a great female role model and played by one of Hollywoods up and coming. Jennifer Garner is outstanding as is the rest of the cast. Do yourself a favor and purchase this set...it will only leave you begging for Season 2 and 3...Enjoy

Summary: ¡Qué bueno!--Great Spanish language track!
Review: Many other reviewers have discussed the quality of the show, and it is outstanding. As a Spanish instructor and native speaker, I love the fact that it is dubbed in Spanish. The dubbing is excellent, even on the techno gadgets that typically cause problems for other languages. If you are a Spanish speaker or are trying to become one, this is a very fun way to increase your exposure (English subtitles along wiht the Spanish track allow you to check comprehension!). Muchas gracias to those who decided to include the language track--we will buy the entire series if they continue to dub in Spanish!

Summary: BEST ACTION TV SHOW EVER MADE!
Review: The show is just amazing. Once you start watching this tv show-consider yourself hooked. I definitely am hooked. This show is just pure "genius". There are so many twists and turns that would pretty much make you glued to your tv set and on the edge of your seat until the very end. The writing is very creative and the all the actors are excellent in portraying their parts. This show is simply-AWESOME!!!!!

Summary: TOTALLY ADDICTIVE!
Review: I am not a fan of any serial shows so understandably, I have missed Alias on its 1st season. Good thing though my husband bought the entire Season 1 set & now, I am losing sleep several nights in a row trying to watch as many episodes as possible. I have found my new idol in Sydney Bristow .... total girl power! The shows may be too charged up- what with new venues, various costumes, new risky projects, etc. - but that only makes the spy world more alluring :) Although you can watch the episodes separately, I strongly advise you watch them in their chronological order. It makes more sense that way. Besides, after watching one, I assure you, you would get hooked & wouldn't dare miss an episode.

Summary: Saving the world one great outfit at a time
Review: What do you get when you combine a gifted writer frustrated with coming up with new teenage angst with an actress who had a small but pivotal role in the first season of his show? You get a hit show from J.J. Abrams featuring Jennifer Garner. It took me a bit to warm up to this show (being the hard-nosed Femme Nikita that I am), but after catching a marathon run of the first few episodes, I was hooked. Add to that the fact that one of the cast members is the excellent Victor Garber and another the magnificent Michael Vartan. Drama, action, exotic locations and actors who can act! Buy this DVD, but please watch the show as well on ABC. Even though Alias has legions of fans, new ones are always welcome. Ignore the rumors that state the show is too *difficult* or *involved* to watch without having seen every previous episode. The writing is quick, intelligent and often self-explanatory.

Summary: Amazing Action and Drama!
Review: Not only were all the episodes in the first season completely puzzling and action-filled along with heart-pounding suspense that will make you sit at the edge of your seat biting your fingernails, but it has a lot of surprise events and drama mixed into it! It's an amazing series about a girl who is a CIA agent and still in college. She's a very talented girl and yet what did she do to get what she did? In the first episode, her fiancee already dies because she told him about her work as a CIA agent. Then she finds out her father isn't who she thought he was all along. Along with that, every other thing she thought was true turns out to be a lie. Throughout the whole season, she goes through the most dramatic things you can think of, the biggest shocks of her entire life, and crazy adventures! It's amazing. Drama...suspense...action...mystery... What more could you want?

Summary: Sexy, Stylish, and Action Packed!!!
Review: Sydney Bristow ( Jennifer Gardner) works for what she thinks is a group of the CIA known as SD-6. Then when her fiance is murdered for her telling him about it, she learns that SD-6 is not part of the CIA, and that it is actually a terrorist agency that works against the United States. Sydney then contacts the real CIA to become a double agent to help bring SD-6 down. The hard thing for Sydney is not to expose SD-6 for what it truly is to the rest of the SD-6 operatives. Everyone is still under the assumption that SD-6 is part of the CIA. Thrown into the mix is her father ( Victor Garber) who is also a double agent working for the CIA, her mission handler who gives her counter missions and who she must fight romantic feelings for Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan), her SD-6 partner Marcus Dixon ( Carl Lumbly), and her two best friends who she must lie to - Will Tippin (Bradley Cooper) and Francie ( Merrin Dungey). Worst of all, there is Marvin Sloan (Ron Rifkin). He was like a second father to Sydney; he recruited her into SD-6; he is the man who Sydney despises the most; and most importantly, he is the man who runs SD-6... Alias is a sleek, sexy, and action packed spy thriller that is guaranteed to turn you into an instant fan. The missions themselves provide for endless action, numerous close calls, and awesome fight sequenes. I also like how the show goes all over the world with the missions. With each mission, comes a new disguise for Sydney, and she looks good no matter what she dresses in! The acting is top notch. Not only is Jennifer Gardner extremely sexy, but she also provides for great acting and fighting scenes. Victor Garber is amazing s Sydney's dad. He is cold, calculating, and always looks out for himself. Ron Rifkin is amazing as Arvin Sloan, because even though he will make you despise him, he can also be extremely charming and likeable. Michael Vartan is great as Michael Vaughn. The sexual chemistry between him and Sydney is outstanding, and watching them fight their feelings for each other is even better. I must say though, one of the funniest and underrated characters on the show is Marshall the tech guy played by Kevin Weisman. Each week we get to see him demonstrate a new invention. The way that he does it will make you laugh. Alias is the most exciting and action packed show that is on right now. The acting and different missions both seperate Alias from the rest. I was absolutely thrilled that Alias was put out on DVD. There are some great extras, and each episode is shown without commercial interruption!

Summary: Something for everyone
Review: I started watching Alias part-way through the airing of the first season and quickly became addicted. This show truly has something for everyone--action, drama, suspense, romance, comedy, mystery. You name it--Alias has got it! I was ecstatic when these DVDs came out since I had never seen the pilot or a couple of the early episodes (and they truly are FABULOUS!). I was amazed how much more I got out of even the episodes that I had seen, knowing the show so much better now. Three of the episodes feature audio commentary. The season finale has commentary by the entire cast, and it is hilarious! I've watched that over and over. They are soooo funny! Additionally, the extras highlights include a gag reel, making of the pilot and info about the stunts. I'm just enjoying the ease of navigation and convenience of the DVDs. Even if you haven't gotten into Alias yet, I highly recommend these! Basically, if you enjoy the movie "The Bourne Identity," you'll enjoy Alias. :)
