Alias - Season 1-5 The Complete Set [DVD]

Excellent box's set

I seem a few episodes on TV and liked it that much that I wanted to see them all, so I searched for the best deal and ended up on Amazon, so for a great deal buy this product. 10/10 for a great deal

Arrived Promptly. Slight tear on the outside of the Boxset but as it's a used item that's to be expected. Otherwise arrived in very good condition as described and expected. Have so far watched all of season 1 & 2 and am halfway through season 3 and all discs have played perfectly with no issues. Very happy with this purchase.

I can't believe no-one has rated this supidly good product. Ok ok its a bit pricey but the sure entertainment and the package offset that easily. The package is beautifully crafted with fold down magnetic sides. Inside are all 5 seasons in lovely hardback book style cases. Also included is the coveted hardback book and a bonus disc hidden under a secret (but easy to find) compartment at the bottom of the box. If like me you're a fan of Alias THIS IS the set to get. There's a limited edition worldwide so should retain some value. Of course you need a multi region dvd player but hacks are easy to find or just buy one from Richer Sounds.The programme making is exceptional even though you often have to suspend disbelief it is so worthwhile. The first two series are brilliant, the third one takes it to a different angle continuing into the fourth series which has a great cliffhanger ending leading into the shorter fifth series which introduces a few new characters which although necessary does slow proceedings down a little. The overall ending although not answering every question from the entire series is suitable enough if not over a little quickly. Still this does not deflect from the hours and hours of great fun and pleasure this series brings. Jennifer Garner is HOT and changes outfits 3 or more times an episode, all the cast members are excellent, the production design is great and money well spent on a show that deserved it.Best thing about Alias: Marshall Flinkman, the genius! He's awesome, a true revelation and brings much needed comic timing to woeful situations. The guy's a legend, Kevin Weisman i salute you.Buy it, watch it, love it.

I bought the Alias box set back in 2009 having never watched an episode but it was recommended by a friend so I thought I'd give it a go.... I'm so glad I did!! I've just finished watching it for the second time and it was just as brilliant as it was the first time! I'm not one for writing reviews and have never done so before but I had to comment on this amazing tv series, it had me glued to the tv from the very first episode and I had to keep watching them back to back!In a nutshell, Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) is a secret agent working at SD-6, a secret branch of the CIA. When her boss, Arvin Sloan, has her fiance killed after finding out that Sydney told him she's a secret agent, she finds out that SD-6 is not actually a part of the CIA but a rogue agency that her own father works for! She goes to the real CIA headquarters with this information only to find that they already know, they show her how big the rogue organisation really is and she becomes a double agent to help take them down!If you've never seen Alias and are thinking of buying the box set, I highly recommend you do it - you won't be disappointed I promise! I've also just finished watching the complete Prison Break and Dexter box sets and although I thought they were great, they don't compare to Alias! Just be prepared to have no social life - you'll find yourself making excuses to not go out so you can stay in and watch these episodes back to back!

What's not to like?Alias has it all: double agents, double crosses, triple crosses, Church crosses, Mexican stand-offs sans Mexicanos, cryptic symbols, cryptography, hasty thumb drive computer downloads, MacGuffins, red herrings, fishy explanations, keys that fit yet-to-be-discovered locks, a plethora of world-class, hirsute, ethnic villains, mind-control, subcutaneous chip implantation, hypodermic needle injection in tender places, kick fighting, miniaturized electronic spy gadgetry, international locations. impersonation, explosions, foot chases, car chases, slow-and fast-burning fuses, bug planting, cosplay, gags, blindfolds, good people falling from great heights and bad guys and bad gals being thrown from great heights.There is also some occasional light bondage and light torture stylishly administered to both male and female characters. It is mostly of the raspberry jam on-one's-face, gore-free variety. You won't be tossing your cookies unless you are super squeamish.Did I mention that Sydney also owns a veritable "s-load" (unit of measurement we use in Texas) of wigs, outfits and knee-high boots? Sadly, I have yet to convince my wife to purchase anything similar but I plan to keep trying.Do you appreciate hearing a really good foley artist at work? Well, you can almost smell all those fruits and veggies being sacrificed to simulate bodies and faces being unmercifully punched and pummeled in every episode.Two of the other box sets I have purchased from Amazon that offer the same level of enjoyment are Hustle and White Collar. If you like those you will likely like this series.In short. Well, not so short. Highly recommended.
