Can it get any better!?

JJ Abrams, the genuis behind this show, proves that the arc for Sydney and the gang is very clear in his mind. This season Jennifer Garner's Sydney gets to work alongside her sister Mia Maestro. Victor Garber is still the coolest man on TV as Sydney's dad. The ubersexy, kickboxing sisters blast the screen with their moves, the vilains are more evil than ever, including Ron Rifkin's Arvin Sloane - oh he is trying... but can he be trusted. Can anyone! This is espionage at its best. And to top it, dear Marshall, the IT guy, gets more screen time (I love him!). Interesting to find out where the story will go next season with a pregnant Jennifer Garner... Check out JJ Abrams' new show Lost for more outstanding entertainment. Either this man has the creative mind of a genius or he has the best writing team in Hollywood! OK enough with the praise - just watch his work people!

A MUST SEE...WOW!!!

The whole 4th season of Alias was amazing!! It is one of the cleverest T.V programmes that you will find and if you want a boxset where every episode is important and interesting then you've found it!!

Almost there...

Ties up most of the story lines from the last couple of series, if a little too easily.

Almost a little disappointing until the last few minutes and then bang, really makes you want to watch season 5. Great cliffhanger.

Less Rambaldi

The 4th outing of Alias seems to have benefited from the deeper characterization seen in the more successful TV series Lost(same writer).

There are some good story developments throughout the series, and the added benefit is that the domination of the 3rd series by Rambaldi is not as evident.

The Rambaldi obsession undermined the whole of series 3 in that surely the CIA has actual terrorists,nasty criminal gangs and actual threats to National Security to contend with?

Whilst the sets are more lavish and Sidney's costume changes are still a plenty note the episode which is set in London as money may have started to run low. The stolen Police car used as a getaway is circa 1980? (not very inconspicuous!)

Great start to another great series!

You can expect all the twists and turns of the previous three series. It's a great start to another great series, however, if you haven't watched the previous three series i wouldn't recommend it.

The most boring espionage yet

What has happened to this show? Used to be tightly plotted with some neat twists and turns but now it just resembles a soap opera except with Guns.

The same group of people lurching from one incident to another, no build up of storyline, good guys and bad guys incapable of killing each other despite numerous chances and no interesting new characters introduced.

And Jack Bristow is living proof that if the wind changes your face will stay that way.

Uninspired and all in all very dissapointing

alias rocks

i dont know how they do it but season after season i am even more hooked - the only dissapointment is that it ends at series 5 (which ive yet to watch) but the excitement/suspense is bigger and better each series and jennifer garner is fantastic in her role as always xxxx

Alias Season 4

Having watched and loved all the previous seasons of Alias I must admit I have been disappointed with this one.. each episode is individual, they do not relate to one another. There is a slight storyline in the fact that can Sloane be trusted?? Watchable but could be better!

I like Alias

Its a shame that they seem to just drop the whole motivating force of the first three series, but the stories continue to be good and you've got to stay on the train now its so near the end of the line
