It gets better!
If you liked S1 of Alias, then you'll love S2. It is so exciting, and altough some parts are sad, they keep you watching. So many parts of the show are just amazing. The addition of Sydney's mother has you enjoying her company and questioning her motives all the way to the finale. I got so hooked on S2 that I bought S3 before I was halfway done S2, just so I wouldn't have to wait!

Yes, Season 2 is better!!
4.5 stars. There are two reasons why I cannot give this 5 stars. The first is that, while the predictability is not nearly as blatant as Season 1, there are still moments when the plotting is clearly drawn out(e.g. Marshall flies in an airplane for the first time and is so frightened that he packs a compact parachute under his jacket, and it isn't too long before that little device proves to be useful; another section was so predictable I rolled my eyes, as a foreign contact is made more human by revealing something about him personally--why not just put a red bullseye on his back?) However, there are so many twists that I actually gasped at, that all the rest is eventually forgivable. The acting is once again excellent, as is the actual filmmaking. The addition of Lena Olin is the best reason to continue watching this series, where she provides a seductively evil presence with all-too-obvious nods to "The Silence of the Lambs" character Hannibal Lecter. There are plenty of action sequences that are suspenseful and fight scenes where the chroeography is so sharp that it is dance-like. If you enjoyed Season 1, Season 2 will knock you out! The final cliffhanger simply isn't fair in light of the fact that I haven't ordered Season 3 yet; it was another twist I was not expecting. Season 2 is definitely worth picking up.

Top-notch entertainment...
This show is highly entertaining and incredibly addicting. Once you start watching it it is hard to stop. The plot and characters are great and episodes are generally well tied together. There's a bit of a slow down at one point, but things pick up again no problem. I strongly recommend watching the first season before watching this one, it'll just make it that much better. I can hardly wait to find out what happens next!
