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! Confusing? This is all just in the first episode of Alias, the brainchild of Felicity creator J.J. Abrams that plays like a cross between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and James Bond. 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' center 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 season, which concludes with a breathtaking cliffhanger, you'll be seduced into Alias' world with, happily, no desire to escape. --Mark Englehart

 ALIAS SEASON 1 March 1, 2010
Christine M. Muffuletto (Apache Junction, Arizona)
Thank you for sending the DVD package so quickly. It's in good condition and we are getting caught up on what we missed. Great job!
LOVE this show! February 21, 2010
jules (Boston, MA)
The first season of Alias completely drew me in. In fact, I developed a thing for strong female butt-kicking characters as a result of this show. I even took up kickboxing and became a certified instructor. This is a role made for Jennifer Garner.
 Great, exciting fun a la 24 February 17, 2010
N. Muir (New York, NY USA)
Looking for something to watch similar to 24 and found this. Was a bit skeptical at first, but very soon became a fan, considering that I'd never heard of it until a few weeks ago. Jennifer Garner is awesome as Agent Sidney Bristow, not to mention gorgeous. Michael Vartan is handsome and totally smitten with her, but I'm juming ahead of myself.
In a nutshell, the story line is this and this isn't a spoiler, they tell you this on the box.: Girl is recruited to work for the CIA and so becomes a field agent. Only, she's told, it's a secret section of the CIA - called SD6, so covert that no one even knows about it. She gets engaged to a doctor and tells him she works for this SD6 - They overhear and the fiance turns up dead. She then finds out that that SD6 isn't really the CIA, but the actual bad guys she thought she was fighting. And that's just for starters - Enter the real CIA and she's now a double agent working to bring SD6 down, managed by her handler Michael Vaughn played by Michael Vartan, nephew of french singer Sylvie Vartan.
Lots of action, and I mean a lot of action. Kind of James Bondsy bouncing all over the world, as Agent Bristow juggles her work life, lying to her friends about what she really does, supposedly working for a bank. Lots of twists and turns, too many to mention without giving more away, but I will say that if you're looking for something that has a fast pace with some good acting, this is a good bet. Five seasons, and each one just gets better than the next.
Well done December 17, 2009
