The mission of this arm of the CIA is to combat SD-6, a secret terrorist organization whose agents believe that they, in fact, work for a secret organization of the CIA that combats terrorism. This first season of the series begins as Sydney begins work as a double agent for the CIA, who want to destroy the organization and its leader, Arvin Sloane. Sent all over the world on various undercover missions, Sydney must sabotage SD-6's efforts while maintaining her cover so that she can help take down SD-6 from the inside. Quite possibly the most entertaining show to debut on network television in the last decade, ALIAS is a fast paced thrill ride buoyed by Ms. Garner's performance as well as her penchant for wearing some outrageously risque disguises on her missions.

When television is overflowing with frivolous reality television and sit-coms desperate to be the next Friends, Alias is like a breath of fresh air.

Each hour of the show is exhilarating escapism of the first order -- well-acted escapism (Garner and Garber are the standouts), but escapism nonetheless.
