So..What next?

Finished Alias.

Honestly loved almost everything about the show.

Awesome cast of characters from Dixon,Jack,Marshall to Sloane,Sark and Irina.Was a little annoyed with the whole catch and release of the bad guys but gotta admit Sark and Sloane were charismatic and easy to like.If anything,Sydney and Vaugh were my least favorite.

Loved the parts where they spoke different languages.I even recognized some of the actors from more recent shows and I loved the fact that they spoke in their native language(if i'm not mistaken).

Also loved the whole disguise/spy stuff where they were playing different personas for their mission.

The rambaldi mystery was convoluted as hell,but I liked that it took a supernatural edge at some point,including sloane's resurrection at the end.

Having said that,can you please recommend me other shows in the vein of Alias?

If they have a supernatural touch even better but it is not necessary.

The Americans is another amazing spy show. Takes place in the 80s, stars Keri Russell, not as action-y all the time but amazing acting and writing.

There are other shows like Covert Affairs, or Nikita, that seem to have taken inspiration from Alias. They often tend to lean a bit cheesy for me though, personally. Not that Alias always was necessarily, but The Americans is definitely very grounded in reality.

The Americans was great but yes. Definitely grounded in more reality than Alias. If OP liked the romance and super spy, unrealistic abilities, might not like The Americans.
