What can i say that had not been said before about the groundbreaking show ALIAS?
1) Sydney Bristow, played by Jennifer Garner, is the most kick ass female spy character in a tv show since Emma Peele. And, thinking it over, possibly better than Emma Peele. She has style, panache, beauty, brains, dangerous hands and legs, speed, quickness, cerebral qualities far superior to all those around her, and oh----oh those disguises!!!!!
2) the show opens in an upside down world, with Sydney working for what she thinks is the CIA---but before long we learn she is working for a rogue Intellegence organization whose interests are opposed to the USA. She further learns that her Dad, her supervisor, is a double agent actually working for the real CIA! She is then recruited to also work as a double agent for the CIA.
3) Milo Rambaldi
4) the computer/tech guy for the bad guys is hilarious.
5) Sydney's partner, who is unaware he is on the wrong side of things, behaves with dignity and grace.
6) Michael Vartan has his finest moments as an actor playing Sydney's liaison (and love interest) with the CIA.
7) Bradley Cooper, who is very young here, is terrific as Sydney's sort of dopey roommate that writes for a local paper in LA. He's just great--he kind of dreamily has a crush on Sydney, but he's too nice a guy to actually move in on her. He's just a perfect walking rom-com of a character.
8) Ron Rifkin as the head of SD-6, is appropriately evil, and cerebral. Perfect.
9) the rest of the cast and series evolve from the brilliant first season to flower into one of the greatest shows ever committed to TV.
A highly influential show that must be studied by all film majors.
