Score Breakdown
The Review
Alias made Jennifer Garner a star and established J.J. Abrams as television's most exciting new voice. The spy thriller about double agent Sydney Bristow combined action, family drama, and mythology-driven storytelling in a way that directly paved the road for Lost. The first two seasons are masterfully constructed thrillers with one of the great mid-series twists.
Fun Fact
The Season 2 Super Bowl episode drew over 17 million viewers and featured a cliffhanger so shocking that ABC's phone lines crashed with viewer calls.
