Shaken and Spied- The televisions series Alias.

... Shaken and Spied Exotic lands, disguises and secrecy distinguish the intriguing world of espionage. The knowledge of spies is a mystery to many, leaving us lusting for answers from Hollywood, who in return capitalize on satisfying our need for these "hidden truths."

User Reviews of this Essay

What our users think of this essay:

"A very detailed essay which uses sophisticated language throughout. There is a good introduction about the show, which outlines many relevant details which are later explored in the essay. There are also many comments regarding suspense, and how it is built up in the show - but also in other entertainment, for example James Bond. Good examples are used to suggest why Alias has so many viewers - and each of these are explained in great detail. Alias is made up of so many different elements, all of which are commented about. Overall, this is an excellent piece of writing, and I have no doubt that it would recieve a top grade. TSR User: boosh_slayer"
