Covert Affairs

I just recently started watching Covert Affairs again and forgot what a fun little show this was. Is it believable? Absolutely not. Will you still have fun watching it? Absolutely! This series about is CIA officer Annie Walker (Piper Perabo) who goes from an unknown new recruit to one of the best agents in the entire agency. She chosen at first because of her linguistic skills and thrown into the field with little training. To help her is ex special operative Auggie Anderson (Christopher Gorham) who was blinded in the field and is in intelligence now to guide Annie from afar. He becomes her most trusted friend and the two of them have great chemistry as actors.

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.

Classy, smooth and Eyal, what more could a girl ask? Really enjoyed the whole thing on DVD, over and over!

When I saw who the producers are, I must admit, I felt some trepidation. The Borne Trilogy was good (no self-respecting film lover could deny it), but hardly TV series material. All my trepidation flew out of the window less than five minutes into the pilot. I'm not an easy judge to please, but I must say, I'm hooked.

The characterization was fabulous. The writers laid the strong foundation of the friendship/confidant relationship that few shows have managed to convey, and it's just the pilot. I can't wait to see how it's built up. The last time I saw such a thing, it was in BONES, and that was in the middle of the first season.

Piper Perabo plays a smart, overachieving spy missing the stop-digging-yourself-into-a- hole complex. Her character is balanced by a great performance by Christopher Gorham as Auggie, your friendly neighborhood blind tech-guy, a comforting voice in the madness of the "Agency". To top off the show, you have their boss, a preoccupied career woman used to having to find her own way in a job traditionally held by men: Joan Campbell, played by Kari Matchett.

For those of you thinking it's just another ALIAS, you've got another thing coming, just as I did. The only things it's got in common with J. J. Abrams' hit show is the CIA and strong woman lead. It has the action of all the best action films of the decade and the reasonably- subtle humor of BURN NOTICE and CHUCK.

COVERT AFFAIRS is in it for the long-run. I don't plan on missing a moment of it. If it's canceled, it'll prove to be as big a mistake as canceling FIREFLY. Watch it. You won't regret it.

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.
