Alias: Die Agentin

This show is one of the most consistently entertaining shows I have seen. If you've a mind to, as many seem to do, you can find any number of reasons to rate this programme lowly but it is undoubtedly one of the best shows of recent years. It doesn't take itself too seriously but manages to involve the viewer time after time with character development and the intricate plotting. Garner takes on the lead role enthusiastically and, even in the most absurd situations, carries it all off with great aplomb. Victor Garber, as Jack Bristow, is the mainstay of the show and deals with everything that comes his way in a professional and confident manner. All the other characters (and actors) fulfil their roles superbly. Anyone who thinks this show is poor either enjoys badmouthing or cannot appreciate simple enjoyment. Sit back and enjoy.

I've seen many series, and movies which are cop or espionage procedural or a mix of both, like 24,prison break, etc. But when it comes to Alias the the first roll is a woman and a hero ,it makes me more excited. Sidney Bristow became my roll model while I watched it, though I think to have all those talents together is imaginary or fantasy ,however I loved the dream sold. And the most important is that it has almost a happy end ,unlike most of similar movies or Tv series. The button end is that it is a fun, fast paced, moving spy series that shows everything you expect from it and makes you believe the unbelievable.

Give or take, Garner was 30 years old when Alias hit the big screen and there was no turning back for her.

Have heard so many different stories about how she was "discovered" in Tinseltown that I do not know which to believe.

What I do know is that, for a period of time, JG was the new "it girl", she could do no wrong, and audiences simply could not get enough of her.

Alias, which ran for 5 years, was simply an OK premise taken to heights of high-camp based solely on the star power of Garner.

She was hot, she could act, she could do stunts, she had great reaction shots, and she made it all seem so easy. Even her film roles in his period are worth a look (which is another section of the IMDb entirely).

Recommended for teenage boys of all ages.

I just finished the first season. So far it is amazing !! I haven't seen a very good series for a few years now. So far it's amazing. It reminds me other very good series, I used to watch in the past. I was surprised to see Quentin Tarantino playing in 2 episodes, so far. Most actors are very good in their role and convincing. Even if it is old, it doesn't looks old. Very good job so far.

I remember this show debuting when I was a teenager. I was so engrossed in it that I was considering one day becoming a government agent. Looking back at this, it still holds up. Between the clever story telling, and character development, it also shows a bit of the spy cliches that I fell in love with. It's also pretty crazy to see a young Bradley Cooper and where he would go from here. The gadgets and technology that is used in the show may look dated but I think it gave Alias its charm. I would love to see Abrams try to come back to this project and bring it to the modern day audiences.
