Alias - The Complete First Season

Pros: Great stories, believable acting, beautiful cast, breathtaking cliff-hangers, cool gadgets.

Cons: Not enough support from fans! Little bonus material.

The Bottom Line: Get this DVD set before it's too late. ALIAS has a great story and you should find out why from the top.

Review: Since many of the other reviews on here have already touched on the storyline, I will not elaborate too much on the actual plot in this review; instead I will just say why this is a MUST get DVD set.

ALIAS caught my eye when it first...

Pros: See Below

Cons: See Below

The Bottom Line: Didn't you hear? Alias rocks!

Review: As a rule, I ve always critiqued television shows differently than films, but the line between the two is becoming harder to discern, as television programs these days are becoming so damn cinematic. Case in point: ABC s Alias. This corker of...

Pros: Like 24, contains action with plot twists and turns with a funny "Q"-like character

Cons: Plausibility is more than a bit strained at times, reminding that it's just TV.

The Bottom Line: Would make a great gift for fans of shows like 24 and Mission Impossible because it contains similar characters and plotlines. Should be watched in order for story continuity.

Review: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to run out and buy Alias: The Complete First Season. DVDs like Alias, which have intricate, ongoing, evolving plots are difficult to review without spoiling the fun.

If you have...

Pros: action packed spy adventures with just enough romance to keep it interesting!

Cons: can be slow moving at times; you have to be patient!!

The Bottom Line: Love the whole series as a great action and spy adventure!

Review: I remember seeing the previews for the very first episode and thinking, "Are you kidding me?! Do they really think people are going to watch some bimbo with an orange wig on?". Well, after a nice long meal of crow, I have to say that I was hooked...

Pros: Very well done, big budget action/drama with some subtle humor.

Cons: It's not very intellectually stimulating or thought-provoking.

The Bottom Line: From the vast wasteland of network television emerges one very nicely done action series. It's not deep or thought-provoking but it grabs you and holds your attention.

Review: Overall, network television sucks, and has always sucked. Contrary to popular belief, it does not exist to entertain you. Its purpose is to sell advertising time to corporations who have products and services they want you to buy. To accomplish that...

Pros: A winning central character, great supporting cast and breathtaking stunts.

Cons: Requires suspension of disbelief.

The Bottom Line: Alias is recommended for fans of both action and drama. If you liked Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the Bourne Identity films, you will most likely love this show.

Review: I was never a big fan of the James Bond movies. Sure, I liked them. They had great stunts, over the top villains and witty double entendres. I just didn't care about it. I mean did anyone really care whether or not James Bond was gonna die? There...
