Ummmm ... shit. Covert Affairs has been on for like ... over 2 years now, right? It's in the second half of its third season right now. I have successfully ignored the crap out of this show this entire time, which I was perfectly happy about, because as much as I love a good spy show, this one always seemed SO generic to me. I mean right down to the title itself ... Covert Affairs ... how much LESS descriptive can you get than that? You might as well just call it, "Spy Show". Or as I just saw on another blog which made me laugh out loud, "Secret Stuff." The previews always made it seem like a possible Alias rip-off too, not just because it's about a female spy, but it seemed to focus on the whole "balancing friends/family and my secret spy life" theme as well. Because of my past deep love of Alias, this made me angry, so I purposely didn't bother to check it out.
