This show is highly entertaining and incredibly addicting. Once you start watching it it is hard to stop. The plot and characters are great and episodes are generally well tied together. There's a bit of a slow down at one point, but things pick up again no problem. I strongly recommend watching the first season before watching this one, it'll just make it that much better. I can hardly wait to find out what happens next!

My wife has watched this show since the beginning, but I never have as it interfered with my sleep schedule. After recently buying a new DVD player I was anxious to get started watching something. I bought "Alias Season 1" and "Six Feet Under" (which I would also recommend highly). Anyway, my plan was to watch one episode a week, or at most a couple, so I could make it last. So I'm thinking I can get through the 22 or so episodes in 10 weeks. Try 2.

Thats right! I would watch like three a day. I was addicted. Conversations in my house sounded something like this...

"Honey, come eat dinner."
"No, I'm watching Alias."

"Honey, help me with the groceries."
"No, I'm watching Alias."

"Honey, I'm pregnant."
"Wow, thats great, we'll talk later, I'm watching Alias."

I'm really serious. Every episode would end on such a cliffhanger you had to see at least the beginning of the next episode. But then the middle was so good you wanted to see how it would develope. But then another darn cliffhanger and you were locked in the cycle for good.

I can't wait for Season 2. I pre-ordered it at 3 in the morning because that was a minute after I finished Season 1. I'm thinking about starting AA (Alias Anonymous) until I can get my fix.

Season two of Alias was awesome. That's one of the best ways to describe it. I picked this DVD up on a Friday, and watched it over the next two days. I couldn't turn it off. The show has all the right twists in all the right moments, all the drama at exactly right time. This season we see the end of the Alliance, in one brilliant assault at the same time across the globe. Thus, Rambaldi becomes the focus of the CIA for the remainder of the season. There are many plot twists and dramatic moments which made me scream at the screen. If the first season of Alias was the build-up, then the second season is definitely the downward slope of the roller coaster. The episodes are:
1. The Enemy Walks In
2. Trust Me
3. Cipher
4. Dead Drop
5. The Indicator
6. Salvation
7. Counteragent
8. Passage (pt. 1)
9. Passage (pt. 2)
10. Abduction
11. Higher Echelon
12. Getaway
13. Phase One
14. Double Agent
15. Free Agent
16. Firebomb
17. Drak Turn
18. Truth Takes Time
19. Endgame
20. Coutdown
21. Second Double
22. The Telling

Season 2 was great and made even greater by the luscious Lena Olin. Every word that spills from her lips is coated with sensuality. Oh, err... sorry!

As I was saying, season 2 was great. The cast is wonderful. Of course, it's difficult to relate what happens to anything real but it's a minor point this season. The one thing that really annoys me is this: Sidney can kick the butts of 3 or 4 highly trained men fairly easily but she has hard time getting the better of any one woman she challenges.

I wonder if it's Hollywood's ridiculous habit of trying to make us think that women are tougher than men; which of course is absurd. These TV producers must have a good reason for doing this. It might be related to when they get home at night. As Ross would say, "The word you're looking for is ... Anyway!"

I'd also like to see the writers make an attempt at writing at least ONE joke in each episode. It would give the impression that these actors are playing human beings instead of cyber-organisms.

Season 2 is almost relentless with action. And it's fun to watch. Jennifer is perfect and I can't imagine any other actress playing Sidney Bristow better than she does. And Victor Garber is also excellent as the unflappable agent who can take care of ANY problem. There's a bit of a slow-down midway through the season which is disappointing and brings us into the somewhat dislocated season 3. A good DVD to buy if you have season 1 - you might be a little confused without it.

This show is quite simply the best that Tv has to offer currently. You can't help, but get involved in the story and characters. The casting is brilliant and Jennifer Garner is incredible as the heroine Sydney Bristow. This is a must have for the intellegent TV watcher. Great acting, a great story and a wonderful interwoven storyline that keeps you guessing. GREAT SHOW and a GREAT DVD!

The second season of Alias is even more addictive than the first. I am rationing out the viewing of the episodes, waiting for the release of the third season on Sept 7th.

While I caught a few of Alias' First Season episodes during regular tv programming, I actually bought the Second Season to watch at my leisure. What a fabulous show. The acting is incredible and the storylines are intriguing. I found myself watching multiple episodes back-to-back because I could not wait for the next one to begin. There is NOTHING better than watching a tv show with NO commercial interuptions.

The bonus materials on the DVD are also entertaining and gives you something to look forward to after you view the final episode. The blooper reel is hysterical and Jennifer Garner is just a charm. Her acting is magnificent as well as the supporting cast members. Lena Olin is great and I am disappointed that she is not in future seasons. Michael Vartan is as sexy as can be and you will fall in love with his character Vaughn during this season.

I am anxiously awaiting Season Three on DVD which will come out in September.

I got into the show by buying season one on DVD. I had never watched it before but was interest and bought season one. I devoured it in a week or two and while half way through ordered season 2. I quickly devoured season 2. Once again the picture and souns quality are excellent. I enjoyed the extras as well. The character interactions got more intense as Sydney's mom showed up. Plots got more complicated and intriguing. The season finale is a stunner. I will buy season 3 ASAP. This show is adicting.

This tv show just get better and better. it Makes you watch it over and over. This dvd is a must buy.
This is one of the best tv shows ever, on the same list as BTVS, angel and the X-files.
A must buy for people who likes tv shows that makes you think and intertaines at the same time. I was just so blown away by this genius and brilliant show. A must buy...

season two of Alias (the best show on television) continued the tradition of excellence in storytelling, characters, plot twists and intrigue began in season one. everything is great. the extra features are worthwhile (especially the audio commentaries featuring cast members), though the blooper reel could have been longer (you know they have more material than that!). get this season of Alias!
