Title: Impossibly good television
Product review: Alias is an amazing labyrinth of a television show: overwrought, spellbinding, stunning, moving, engaging, puzzling, impenetrable, and, oh yeah, human. Sydney Bristow is easy to root for, but for me it's her father Jack Bristow that is somehow the heart of the story: so damaged, so interior, so pressured, it's a wonderful pleasure just to watch Garber's masterfully understated performance. His impassive, nearly blank facade hides deep emotion: hurt, fear, and love for his daughter. Even Arvin Sloane, a truly evil, sometimes creepy, man, is consumed by love for his dying wife. And Sydney, well, she's the star and deservedly: gorgeous, bright, perfect for the role. Wonderful stuff. This is better than most movies because of the sheer amount of time available in a television season to develop plotlines, characters, ideas. Whatever you pay for this set isn't enough. Amazing.
