Third pilot of the week is Alias. When a young woman reveals to her fiancé that she works for the CIA, he is executed by a hit squad hired by her employers. How she deals with this, whether her employers are actually the CIA, and what she needs to stay alive and redeem the loss of her lover are the questions addressed in the first part of the series – which is essentially yet another Nikita rip-off with a couple of twists. That’s not to say it isn’t entertaining, because it is. That’s not to say it isn’t exciting, because it is. And that’s not to say it doesn’t have potential, because it does. But it’ll have to do something new pretty soon to maintain people’s interest.
