Covert Affairs Audience Reviews

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Carina Ullberg I have just finished looking season 5 episode 16 and my thought was "Oh, but ... what ... I want to know".I liked Covert Affairs, I liked the acting - well almost everything. It was a series with after thoughts, action, romance, sorrow, some sex ... well it had about everything you can expect. I do become a little displeased with the fighting scenes. Why did all the men tried to strangle her? Every time? Isn't that a very difficult way to take out a opponent? Did the director have some special hangup with strangulation? Or is it consider special with a man strangle a female? Is it sexy or what? In my eyes it just is dumb. It is one of the first thing you learn to cope with if you have trained just a small amount of jujitsu for example - escaping a man trying to strangle you. And why should not a CIA-agent know those very simple thing ... They should be able to do something better than letting every man try to strangle her.And the heals? And the sound of the heals when she is trying to sneaking toward a room or in a stairway? That is not very truthful is it? And when she did fight wearing high stilettos, why did she not put the heal in the opponent?There was a lot of action flaws in my opinion but some how I really liked it. It was entertaining, thrilling, funny, sensitive and sadness (crying) - Yes, I do liked the series and I am a little sad that there was no more season.A question - does the spy earn that much money so they have afford those shoes and those clothes? I don't think those are very cheap :)
atlasmb If you like Piper Perabo, you will probably like this show. Her character, Annie, is a CIA agent who hits the ground running right out of training. It helps that she is something of a prodigy--excellent with weapons, amazing at hand-to-hand combat, and a whiz with languages. Though she sometimes has to confront her personal fears, for the most part she is determined to tackle any problem by immersing herself in the heart of the matter.I have watched this show from its inception and, seasons later, I am still interested. The character of Annie is multi-dimensional. By now, we know her romantic history, her personal quirks, and her weaknesses. Auggie is her personal handler and personal friend. He usually augments her in-the-field forays from HQ with his superior intelligence IQ, but he has been known to accompany her on location.One thing I really enjoy about the series is the location filming. They film around the world, adding authenticity to the production.For those critics who say the series is unrealistic (every series has them), well neither is Bond. But the writers know how to create stories that are filled with intrigue. And many of the show's story lines feel like they have been ripped from the pages of global news reports.
sandimcg 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.
kessler10 An excellent Season 4 stretches the range of this already-fascinating series: with good writing, and some fine acting --Perabo is great to look at and a very good actor -- I could watch her face for hours, as she works through her emotions, she has a really fine range. Itzin too, though: he is by far the greatest entertainment in the show for me, after Perabo. From his initial entry to his latest scenes, Itzin's body carriage, gestures, and most of all the expressions in that fabulous face, then the wonderful voice and mellifluous accent -- villains require pathos, and Itzin's villain definitely provides that, his Richard III would be wonderful. Teo Braga and Calder Michaels -- Cardona and Harper, like Itzin, are able to grab center-stage with their personas in every scene they do. Particularly Cardona, up against the spectacular Perabo, his dark furies complement her glamor and personality beautifully, you can feel both the strains and the warmth building between those two, dynamic tension, nothing in drama can be better than that. I hope there's much more done with them: Bring Teo Back!The casting generally has been done really well, and I really like the acting. Joan and Arthur steady everything -- Braithwaite does a good job of being sinister, I can't wait for him to get the nose-punch he deserves, maybe from Auggie or even Annie? -- Oded Fehr is wonderful, he manages a sparkle which literally brings Annie to life when she and we need it, and I agree with the comment someone else made here that we need Eyal back for some Season 4 comic relief. Tony Curran would be great for that purpose too.The only disappointment for me has been Dudek: her character and acting both were embarrassing and out-of-place -- I know she has her fans, and her role must too, but that flouncy dress she wore in Stockholm was nauseating, which I guess was the point there -- I'm glad that's over, tho. The story is great. I never cared whether the Battlestar Galactica would find Earth, & I don't want to see an ending here, I'm just really enjoying the ride.
