Uncovering Alias: An Unofficial Guide

Find out what the show was really about.

TV Guide called it “one of TV’s most enjoyably escapist hours ever.” Alias took Jennifer Garner from relatively unknown to a huge superstar. This show consistently appeared on critics’ Top 10 lists throughout its five seasons, has a large, devoted following, and won two Emmys and a Golden Globe. There’s no denying it: Alias is a smash hit. But what is the show about? Ask 10 viewers of the show and you’ll probably get 10 different answers. Even Alias ‘s most diehard fans can’t help but feel a general “huh?” after every episode, despite being able to follow the overreaching arc of this excellent show. But Uncovering Alias is here to help solve the viewer’s questions. Written as a companion to the show — but not a substitute for it — Uncovering Alias features
