Amazon.co.uk Review
Created by JJ Abrams, Alias plays like a cross between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and James Bond. Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) is a super (and super-sexy) spy, fighting nefarious villains and working for the good guys--or so she thinks. Recruited as a college freshman for espionage work, Sydney found her true calling with SD-6, a secret division of the CIA. When her hunky doctor-boyfriend proposes to her, she decides to let him in on the truth she's not supposed to tell anyone: she's not a grad student with a demanding job for an international bank, but a secret agent who constantly puts her life on the line for the free world. But when SD-6 discovers her security breach, her fiancé is brutally assassinated, and Sydney suddenly finds herself face-to-face with the truth: she's been working for the bad guys. Deciding to become a double agent for the CIA and bring down the evildoers, Sydney gets one more surprise--her estranged father (Victor Garber) is also working for SD-6, and the CIA as well. Welcome to the family, Syd!
Confused? This is all just the first episode. With its double-edged tension (how long can Syd play double agent?) and one heck of a MacGuffin (the dreaded Rambaldi device, the mythic creation of a Renaissance genius), the show leads its viewers from episode to episode with visceral, compelling action, not to mention the nascent romance between Syd and her CIA handler, Vaughn (Michael Vartan), and her clashes with her heretofore distant father. Sharp, smart and always suspenseful, Alias' centre was held by the gorgeous Garner, a stellar action heroine and an even better actress who could pull off Sydney's exotic undercover missions and conflicted emotions with equal dexterity. By the end of this first series, which concludes with a breathtaking cliffhanger, you'll be seduced into Alias' world with, happily, no desire to escape. --Mark Englehart

With ALIAS reaching its third season in America, and Five showing ALIAS SEASON 2 over here, maybe its about time you caught up with Jennifer Garner, Victor Garber, Merrin Dungey, Michael Vartan, Ron Rifkin, Amy Irving, Lena Olin and guest stars such as Quentin Tarrintino and Faye Dunaway with Roger Moore popping in too!
The Plot (No Spoilers)
Sydney Bristow is a college student who leads the secret and thrilling life of a Double Agent for the CIA and a secret terrorist group named SD-6. Sydney's problems dont stop there, her father is also a double agent and her flatmates are beginning to suss her real identity. As well as that, not all is what it seems with her long deceased mother, Laura Bristow, and the season builds up this epic storyline to a jaw-dropping finale that was only rivalled by that of Season 2'S Finale.
Characters
Sydney is a highly developed character, and each of the other characters has their own themes to them, everyone from quirky Marshall to the dangerous Sloane and his cancer stricken wife, Emily. Sydney is strong and independent, and in season one, very much out for blood. But watch out for Season 3 When it comes to UK, Rumour has it Sydneys darker than ever...
Style
Alias OOZES style at every edge. From the beat of the technospy music to the dark, gritty feel and the astounding cinematography. Its a real experience watching this series.
Intellegence
24, CSI, Law and Order. None of them can compare, or come anywhere close, to the astoundingly crafted, jaw drapping, cliff hanger ridden, fast paced, heart wrenching storylines of every episode. Where ever Sydney goes, in a red wig, a blue dress, a chinese maid outfit, everywhere, she brings oodles of intellegence with her. The whole thing has obviously been PAINSTAKINGLY planned out, and to great effect.
Overall Scored : 100% (1st place)
Alias is simply THE best television show of all time, bar none, You wont believe how quickly youll get hooked. And thats not all, the show also stars the Jaw Droppingly Beautiful Jennifer Garner who is a hollywood superstar in her own right as well as an all star ensemble cast. Astounding Acting, Production, Direction, Scripts and Characters make this highly watchable series a classic
BUY THIS DVD!!!!
Jennifer Garner plays Sydney Bristow an agent working for what she thinks to be a top secret branch of the CIA, but when she makes a grave mistake and someone she loves is killed as a result the truth is revealed about SD6 (the organisation she thinks is good and a part of the CIA). And so her quest to bring about the end of SD6 who are responsible for her fiancees death. Abrams trademark twist and turns are rife in every single episode and there are enough cliffhagers to leave you open mouthed at the end of virtually every episode. The scripts and stories are very well written, clever and very fast paced. Garner plays Bristow perfectly, not only is she insanely beautiful but she pulls of some awesome stunts. The rest of the cast are equally as good, particularly Ron Rifkin as the the head of SD6, and the man Sydney swears a secret vendetta against.
Each episode is packed with non stop action, taut emotion, gripping storylines and cool gadgets. There are edge of your seat stunts, exotic locations and this show always keeps you guessing. As well as some one off episodes there is an intriguing story arc involving an ancient profit called Rmabaldi who's dangerous inventions are being used by terrorists to bring about chaos. This arc is introduced pretty early on and continues throughout the entire series and makes for some great ideas and viewing. It mixes drama, thriller, crime and elements of science fiction flawlessly.
If you're worried about this being cheesy and dumb then you'd be wrong. This series is just like Abram's Lost and Fringe, it blends quality production values, great actors, gripping storylines and arcs and will no doubt hook your from the pilot. Don't hesitate and do yourself a favour, get this right now. The only problem, and its very small, is the slightly annoying techno music, but this is reduced as the series progresses and is all but gone in the subsequent seasons.
At £10 this is a steal, don't hesitate, you won't be dissapointed. For fans and those interested there are also a plethora of bonus features that include commentaries on many of the episodes, featurettes (makings of) and deleted scenes. It is very well packaged in a pretty sturdy card slip case in which are three regular DVD cases that contain two discs each.
