The Six Best Shows You May Not Be Watching
by Matt Roush
Alias
Why You Should Watch:
Only 24 does nail-biting spy intrigue so well, and Alias has a lighter, more
escapist touch.
Why You May Have Missed It:
The time slot is brutal, pitting Alias against shows (The Sopranos, for one)
that also appeal to discriminating viewers.
While You Weren't Looking:
Everything changed. Rogue agency SD-6 was wiped out. Sydney (Jennifer Garner)
is now openly involved with CIA "handler" Vaughn (Michael Vartan). Arch-villain
Sloane (Ron Rifkin) had Syd's roommate, Francie (Merrin Dungey), murdered and
replaced by a double. Syd's enigmatic mother, Irina (Lena Olin), defected to
Sloane.
Moment to Remember:
Sydney shot her mother, but Irina escaped. Later, the earrrings Irina left
behind for Syd began emitting a Morse code signal: "Truth takes time."
Alias was mentioned along with Everwood, Angel, Without a Trace,
American Dreams, and Boomtown.
