Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great show.
Review: Season two started out normally enough. Syndey Bristow is a double agent for the CIA working to take down SD-6, an organization she joined believing that they were part of the CIA but in fact was pure evil.

Jennifer Garner as Sydney makes you believe in the set-up. Victor Garber, used better here than in the first season, is terrific as Sydney's fellow double agent dad. The addition of Lena Olin as Sydney's long thought dead mother was a stroke of pure genius. The scenes between Garber and Olin are electric.

Things went along very well for about half the season, then everything changed. In one episode, the entire writer's bible for the series had to be re-written. It's surprising they even kept the series title. Just as the shock value of that wore off, they did it again in the season finale with a couple lines at the end.

This season is not to be missed for fans of the series, the stars, or of good acting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alias equals top entertainment!
Review: Alias is the best action drama on tv today. Jennifer Garner, golden globe winner, plays the part of sexysmart Sydney Bristow, an undercover CIA agent. (Also starring Victor Garber, Michael Vartan, and Ron Rifkin).

But that's only the beginning! The plot is way too deep to explain in one review!

The one thing about Alias is that you cannot just watch one episode and catch on. What makes it fun is that it doesn't revolve around politics, like other 'government' shows. It is a continuing heartstopping adventure, with pulsing techno, amazing stunts, dramatic scenes, outstanding plot, and dynamic characters. It is created by JJ Abrams, a GENIUS by all means of the word. I promise you will want to see more! After one show, I had to see it all!!

Content:
The show is for mature audiences, (In my opinion, 15 to any age) but there are only a handful of times throughout the season that they use brief foul language. Some sexy scenes, but mostly brief as well. Overall GREAT show!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is gonna rock
Review: Alias is an awesome show. It's like an adrenaline rush whenever I watch that show. It has its moments here and there, but if you're into the whole big prophecizing stuff and secret agents and all, this could be a good pick.

Anwyay, I love this show and let's just say that ABC rocks by putting out the dvds!!! Jennifer Garner's great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No Other Show Can Beat Alias
Review: Alias is just... amazing. It's genius, it's [kickin], smart, mind-blowing, intense, and mesmerizing and with the elements of glamour and fun and humore... and if you're addicted to this show--- it's life.

Right when you think you've got Sydney's spy life and family figured out- everything twists around and things go the other way. JJ Abrams is truly brilliant!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Another mostly great season of TV
Review: Back for it's second season Alias continues on with the great writing and mostly good plots(it's still somewhat comic book but a lot of fun). Sydney has now found that her mother is still alive and wanting to switch sides (her ex- husband Jack Bristow seems to almost pathologically hate her). That's one of the better subplots this season with quite a few twists and turns (you never know what's coming up next)Later in the season SD-6 is finally shut down (all in one episode, which I missed the first time around, which was really confusing to me). The season had a lot of odd turns (3rd season looks like it will really start out strangely)and several interesting guest appearances by actors/ actresses I didn't expect to see on TV including Rutger Hauer, Faye Dunaway and Christian Slater.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best shows on television
Review: Alias is the second best show on television, second only to 24. The nicely intricate plot twists and gripping action all help to contribute what a fantastic show this is but what really makes this show so special are the performances from a fantastic cast. In particular, it's the complex and layered relationship between Sydney and Jack and Irina that is really the heart of the show. That's what the show seems to be about. That and Sloane's obsessive search for this ramboldi device. This show has made me fallen for Jennifer Garner. I love her. She's amazing. Victor Garber takes what could be a very unlikable character and brings the humanity out of Jack Bristow making him sympathetic. Lena Olin is wonderful in a very complex role in which we're not sure whether she can be trusted or not but we want to believe her because Olin is so good. The rest of the series regulars Michael Varten, Bradley Cooper, Ron Rifkin, Carl Lumbley and Kevin Weissman as the lovable but dorky and goofy Marshall, are all exceptional. This is the second best show on television and has become one of my all time favorites as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have for any fan
Review: If you are a true Alias fan, you will need the Season 2 DVD set. Season 2 had so many great plot twists and interesting moments that you'll be able over and over again.

Alias is an outstanding show, combining espionage with relationship drama with a splash of humor. You can sit back and enjoy it or get into the deep subplots and spend days wondering and analyzing what something really means.

Season 2 also just got 11 well-deserved Emmy Nominations. Congratulations to the cast and crew of Alias on an outstanding year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This show is a MUST for everyone!
Review: If you haven't watch Alias, I can honestly say that you are missing out. Although it may be hard to catch on, after watching a few episodes in a row (like how I did in the middle of season 1) You'll catch on. The show is breathe taking and amazing. There is no other show that is as compelling as this one. The acting, writing, directing, editing, special effects, make up, costume, settings, etc...... is the best for any tv show. It truly is amazing! A must for everyone! Hopefully it'll be out for many more seasons to come.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alias Season 2 Review
Review: One of the most brilliant shows ever made is now available on DVD. This is an Alias fan's must-have! Outstanding!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action-packed and emotional.
Review: While I can't speak for the first season, I can and will do so for the second -- this is NOT just an action series. The series becomes very turbulent in both the storylines and the characters' lives. Picking up at the first season cliffhanger, CIA Agent Sydney Bristow comes face to face with The Man, who just happens to be a woman, and not just any woman -- it's Irina Derevko, the agent's mother.

The first few episodes (except, perhaps, the first) are a bit on the slow side, but the action picks up once Sydney agrees to see her mother, who turns herself in to the CIA in the first episode. The emotional conflicts are just as gripping, if not more so, than the missions and developing story lines of SD-6 and the Rambaldi artifacts. (IMHO, the best thing about the series -- this season in particular -- is the characters' interaction and growth.)

To sum it up without spoiling it (more than I have) for those who haven't seen it, here are some highlights: a friend is lost, a friend is gained, a friend is framed, three romances -- possibly even a fourth, fifth, and sixth -- blossom, an enemy is defeated, another one is released, another friend dies, and some very loveable characters are "freed".

The entrance of Irina into the plot was what drew me to the series, which now ranks near the top of my favorites list. I HIGHLY recommend this DVD collection. There is only one catch -- this season's cliffhanger finale is MUCH more painful than the previous one.
