This is JJ Abrams' second big hit after Felicity and launches him on his way to being one of the biggest name in Hollywood. It's a simple concept of a hot supermodel 007 Jenny Bond in a secret worldwide spy organization. It's completely unreal fantasy. There is nothing but popcorn fun here. The problem is that as this fantasy universe gets rolling. It made less and less sense. The twists and turns lead to too many blind alleys. It's too serious and eventually, the show collapses under the weight of it's convoluted story. The good thing is that it introduced the world to Jennifer Garner and Bradley Cooper. Now can somebody tell me what happened to Michael Vartan?
