The first season of the critically acclaimed
Alias comes to DVD with anamorphic widescreen transfers of all 22 episodes, including the uncut 65-minute pilot. The series was shot in the HDTV format, so the picture quality is excellent, far surpassing that of the original standard-definition television broadcasts. Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound is available, as is a Spanish-language option. Notable extra features include six deleted scenes, a gag reel, a production diary, and a ten-minute documentary focusing on the show's stunt work. There are also commentary tracks on four episodes: "
Truth Be Told," "So It Begins...," "Q and A," and "Almost Thirty Years." The high quality of the picture and sound make this set a must-have for fans, and newcomers will find it to be the perfect entry point into an enthralling series. ~ Skyler Miller, All Movie Guide
