Covert Affairs (Alias' little, less attractive sister)


When Alias came out years ago, America fell in love with Jennifer Gardner. After its cancellation (Thanks ABC) television has been looking for a new hot female spy to step into the stiletto boots of one, Sydney Bristo. And that woman just might be Piper Perabo. Now, there is isn't double agenting going on at this current moment, but that doesn't leave us short on drama. People getting killed, people seducing, flirting, drinking, car chases, etc. Its all here.
My only complaint, so far, is that in DC, the underground public transportation system is called the METRO, not the subway. The fact that they have a chase scene that ends in the Subway completely ruined the fact that this show is suppose to take place in the nation's capital, which also happens to be in my backyard (give or take 40 miles). I have been on the Metro and it has never been that clean, well lit, or had a sign that said "subway." Aside from that one large mistake, the show is pretty interesting. Its certainly not going to win any Emmy's but its worth the time if you want to waste an hour watching Piper run around in heels and fight deadly Russian assassins. Its all very fun.

And because you deserve it.
