First decent TV series I've seen for a LONG TIME
Hi there
I'd almost given up on TV - but a colleague of mine gave me some DVD's of the US series COVERT AFFAIRS -- I must say it's one of the most intelligent series involving the CIA that I've ever seen with decent characters and outstanding actors.
Anyway a great change from boring "Reality" or terrible "Talent" shows.
Any other fans of this show here.
I think it's GREAT.
Cheers

Yes, I watch the show and I quite enjoy it.
I'll confess to being a stereotypical man and when the first promotional clips were shown, thinking,"I'll give the pilot episode a shot, she is cute." Example below, for those unfamiliar with the show....
But it has turned out to be much better than I expected. Clever storylines, great acting, and yes, it's not a reality or talent show (which I avoid like the plague). | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
