Alias - The Complete First Season Customer Reviews (46 - 48 of 49 Reviews)

Bristow, Sydney Bristow.
What can I say about Alias that hasn't already been said? It's exhilarating, moving, heartbreaking, tragic and full of hope. The one thing I won't say about it, however, is that it's unrealistic. Yes, I realize that it sometimes slips over the line between fiction and fantasy, but calling it unrealistic is way too technical.

The truth is, no matter what the writers of Alias write, we (the fans) believe it. Can Sydney really beat up 5 men armed with only a broom? Of course. Because this show's writers and actors/actresses have talent that you rarely see in movies, and never see on television.

The dialogue, coupled with the intensity of emotion that Jennifer Garner and the rest of the cast bring to this show makes it completely believable, if not realistic.

Bottom Line: If you haven't seen this series, buy it immediately. I'm sure that 99 out of 100 people will treasure this box set!

If you have seen this series, buy the DVDs. Even if you already have the episodes on tape, the extras featured in this set are well worth it.

Happy watching!

Change of Heart
Ok, so I previously gave Alias Season One a two-star rating. The plots were horrible.

However, I wrote the review before watching the 6th episode. Starting with this episode, the show improves dramatically. Perhaps they got a new writer?.......

Now my husband and I, who almost gave up on the series, watch 2 to 3 episodes every night. Each episode is well plotted, and the ending just leaves you hanging....

I have not given the show the full 5 stars because some plot details should be perfected. For example, what company keeps the same security code for 8 years? or how can you only dig 4 feet and find an underground cave which was built 500 years before?

But it is good entertainment, and the characters are well drawn.

Conclusion: 5 bad episodes in a series lasting now 3 years, can be overlooked. I'm glad I stuck it out.

A new Alias fan.

Alias is simply Amazing
A single episode of Alias is better than many movies. The first episode alone is filled with character development, surprises, plot twists and action to fill a movie. However, after the blockbuster first episode, the action doesn't stop there. The momentum continues with more character development, shocking plot twists, action and an amazing storyline which is pure genius. The script writers on Alias are pure genius and everybody involved with this show should be very, very proud of it, especially the actors. The acting is all top-notch, but not over the top and the show is simply gripping. The show is fantastically action-packed and filled with drama as well which should leave you eagerly anticipating the second season. I'm at college, and having purchased the first and second seasons of the show on DVD, I have shared them with many members on campus and everybody I have showed it to has gotten hooked. Now, that is a recommendation, that everybody who watches it gets helplessly addicted to a show that is, simply put, the best show on television.
