Overt Love For Covert Affairs

I’m not a fan of spy movies. I’d even go so far as to say I’m anti-spy movies. Covert Affairs escapes the trappings of the high suspense spy film by haphazardly throwing our heroine Annie into situations she is not equipped to handle. Though we get the episodic chase scene, the rest of each episode is filled with the budding friendship of Annie and Auggie (played deftly by Christopher Gorham of Ugly Betty and Harper’s Island fame) and Annie’s quest to prove herself in a sea of much more experienced agents.

The plotlines seem farfetched to me, though this could be the way of the CIA in actuality for all I know. The stories are just complex enough to provoke a bit of thought without becoming too muddled and I find this to be the deciding factor in whether to add this fandom or not. The cast really seems to work well together, and the guest stars are superb. The addition of Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes‘ Mohinder) to the lineup makes the rest of the cast seem even more legitimate somehow. Peter Gallagher is solid as the husband (and CIA bigwig) of Annie’s boss, and Annie (Piper Perabo) is growing on me with each new episode.

The first scene of the series played far too long (or so I thought), but now I’m really anxious to see how Annie’s prior relationship will come into play in her future. I’m sure it will be quite the (covert) affair to remember. *ahem*

Covert Affairs has quickly become my “Summer Show” this year and I look forward to seeing more next season.
