"Alias" Riding Off Into the Sunset

If you're an "Alias" fan you probably already know this but the spy series "Alias" is coming to an end after 5 seasons. According to CNN.com:

After five seasons, the ABC series that revitalized the espionage genre with a visually dazzling combination of glamor, angst and trickery concludes Monday, May 22, with a pair of episodes (9 p.m. EDT).
The brainchild of J. J. Abrams (who has since created ABC's hit drama "Lost" and directed "Mission: Impossible III"), "Alias" leaves behind a loyal, cult-like group of fans who understood the minutia of the double-dealing plot twists.

I'm not a big fan of the show and agree with this comment in the article:

Yet mainstream viewers were often left scratching their heads over the spies' constantly shifting alliances between good and evil, not to mention their occasional faked deaths. (Even fans were often not amused -- and don't expect to be satisfied with the finale.)
