Covert Affairs

This is the first good spy-type series I've seen since 24 (looking forward to its return on FOX)and Alias (such fun with all the disguises, gadgets and mystic aspect). I was SO happy to have recently discovered Covert Affairs! This show is thoroughly entertaining if you enjoyed 24 and/or Alias. And - stop comparing - they're all different. I definitely enjoy the characters in this show. I am now into the 4th season and, even though there are some things that should be made logical with just a few sentences of explanation, and there is the inevitable craziness in all shows - like getting from the U.S. to Europe in just the right location in the middle of nowhere in - seemingly a few hours instead of a day - just in time for someone (like the elusive Ben, Eyal or Teo) to save Annie's life. Of COURSE, we're happy - big phew! And who cares if it's implausible - it's a TV show that needs to keep moving along. Purists will nit pick, but I would say anyone who likes this genre will find it totally intriguing entertaining and compelling. I always look forward to seeing what twist is coming up next. I hope it keeps going for years without the writers getting bored and killing off the best characters and ruining the series.

My brother started watching Covert Affairs and recommended that I watch with him and since I had nothing better to do I said why not? I'm glad I did because I ended up really enjoying it. It's actually a pretty decent spy series. Piper Perabo was perfect for the role. She's not only beautiful but a good actress. It's the perfect summer show where you don't have to think too much but it's also not a dumb show either. Like most spy shows that came out around this time a lot of it's not believable but if you can get past that you'll have a good time watching this series. It's also one of the rare shows where each season is just as good as the others.

Almost exactly around the middle of season 3, it suddenly gets better and stays that way. Up until then, it is watchable but only if you have nothing better. The writing, the action, the subterfuge, it becomes an eminently bingeable spy thriller.

I want to ask the directors and producers, please bring Covert Affairs back for a 6th season. Season 5 ended with so many cliffhangers that need to be resolved. The story is obviously not finished yet. Auggie and Annie has unfinished business and belong rogether, Annie's new job offer with needs to be explored Calder and Stephanie' s potential romance, Arthur's senator run.. please, these plots have yet to be resolved. There is some really good content left. F it is a money issue, I am sure you can make a plan. This is an excellent show and needs to end with the proper unravelling of all plots and sub plots.

I like the show but what bothers me is that it takes Annie almost four seasons to dye her hair. In season four she never took the time to wear a cap or sunglasses which makes her harder to be recognized. It puzzles me why she never disguises herself.
