Narrative
|
Hip Spy Drama (2001-2006) about Sydney Bristow, an agent for a black-ops division of the CIA, who discovers that, whoops, it wasn’t a black-ops division of the CIA so much as a faction of a powerful terrorist group called The Alliance; so she becomes a double agent.
Pretty much a show full of Impossible Mission episodes, with a twist — Sydney must perform her mission for the CIA, while appearing to be performing her mission for SD-6. There’s also a large element of soap opera though, as she learns all kinds of secrets about her parents and their Mysterious Past.
Unusual for its willingness to embrace a fanciful Story Arc about a centuries-old prophecy.
Also notable for the fact that the show was ReTooled three separate times. Each time, character relationships and roles changed in fundamental ways.
One of the leaders in Wig Dress Accent.
