Alias

I loved watching Alias. It was one of the few series where I would freak out if I missed an episode - it was just that good. Season 1 through 3 were the best seasons though and I think it got rather heavy after that - ridiculous plot lines and Sloane's crazy obsession with Rembaldi, clones...

The cast are terrific - Jennifer Garner's such a terrific actress and she's surrounded by a stellar cast - Victor Garber, Michael Vartan, Ron Rifkin..

It really is a great show - if you don't mind the confusion now and again and just watch it with an open mind, take it for what it is - a really great series!

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 love this show. That being said, it has some flaws. You can tell when it went downhill is when J.J. Abrams stopped working on it regularly. Season 1 is great, Season 2 is great, Season 3 was OK, Season 4 not so great, and I'm going to pretend Season 5 didn't happen. I'd have to agree with some of other reviewers on here, it seems like they ended up with a bunch of different writers that lost direction or understanding of what the show was about and where it was supposed to be going. It started out as a spy show with a hint of sci-fi, and ended up the other way around which was just weird. It seems like the only person who really understood the whole Rambaldi thing was JJ. I think that the actors did a good job with what they were given. Watch Season 1-3 if you want to check it out. Its on Netflix as of 8/16.

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'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.
