Editorial Review:
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
Golden Globe Award-winning actress Jennifer Garner (Best Actress In A Television Series, 2002) is Sydney Bristow. Syd's not exactly your average grad student. Her life might appear normal, but she's hiding a secret life working as a spy for the CIA. Sydney's world is turned upside down when she learns she may work for the very enemy she thought she was fighting. Now she's entangled in a covert lifestyle where she is forced to question the allegiances of everyone, including those closest to her. Entertainment Weekly says ALIAS is "a spy-fi roller coaster of killer gadgets, double roundkicks, triple crosses, poignant confessionals, cliff-hangers, sliced-off fingers, conspiracies, outrageous outfits, exotic locales, flirtations, mythologies -- and that's just before the first commercial break." Now see the 22 mesmerizing episodes that launched it all in this 6-disc set. You'll also experience never-before-seen extras that give you special access inside the world of ALIAS. See the show everyone has been talking about that has redefined series television. This edge-of-your-seat collection with its heart-pounding action of unpredictable plot twists will have you gasping for air and begging for Season 2!

Rating:  - Stunning Heroine, Fabulous Script, Interesting Plots and Victor Garber
Most television series acknowledge the importance of the first season, a precursor to the however many running years a show has. ALIAS has not let its viewers down. JJ Abrams, most famous for his work on FELECITY, comes to us with a breathtaking reinvention of ther spy series.

Rating: - An Excellent Spy-Action Series Much Better Than I First Thought
A friend of mine who's a big fan of the show first introduced me to this series at first I thought they would make it to idiotic with Eye candy women like Pamela Anderson's former show V.I.P.(Don't ask me why I watched a few episodes to this day even I can't give a reason.)but I was happily amazed at how suspenseful,dramatic,and lots of action there was in the series. You have Sydney Bristow(Jennifer Garner)who's recruited into what she thinks is an shadow department of the CIA but is in reality a ... Read More
Rating: - Great Season
Great season to watch. First couple episodes you could tell they didn't have as much funding, but it gets better and better.
Rating: - The best season of Alias by far, you won't be able to turn it off!
Alias was a great show through the entire season, but the first season is by far the best. If you never watch any other Alias episodes, watch this season. You won't be able to turn off your DVD player.
Rating: - nice boxed edition
Great for catching up on missed episodes. I paid 49.00 for it when it was first released.
