TV Series (2001-2006). 5 Seasons. 105 Episodes. Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) is a young, athletic, college graduate who was recruited her freshman year as a secret agent for SD-6, a top-secret branch of the CIA. After a few years -- after Sydney confides her lifestyle to her boyfriend, the evil head of SD-6 -- Arvin Sloan, has him killed. Sydney learns that SD-6 is part of a rogue international agency called the Alliance of 12, out to rule the world. She becomes a double agent, working with the real CIA to bring down SD-6 with the assistance of her handler, Michael Vaughn, and her estranged father Jack Bristow -- also a double agent.

Critics' reviews

"Abrams has fashioned a beautifully conceived espionage drama around star Jennifer Garner, complete with moments of light wit and deep emotion running beneath action sequences of stirring derring-do"

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"The characters and situations are so derivative, and the plot is so full of cheats, that the series has become wearing"

Virginia Heffernan: The New York Times
"An improbable, heart-pounding and-tugging mix of fantastical '60s spy chic and emotionally realistic drama ... Ridiculous, over the top but unashamed, it manages to thrill and win our hearts."

James Poniewozik: Time
"Hip, bright and done with a great deal of flair. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"The joy of this series really comes down to two things: lots of action and some babelicious butt-kicking. Not something to be proud of for enjoying it, but true."

Tim Goodman: SFGATE
