It seems somehow more fitted for 1970 - maybe 1950 - than 2010.April 06, 2016
It's perfect summer television -- just turn off the excess brain cells and let Agent Walker do the seduction, and the shooting, for you.July 23, 2010
The mood is bright and whimsical.December 13, 2016
Covert Affairs isn't as complicated as Alias, nor does it have the sci-fi/fantasy element that show had, but it does have promise and Annie Walker could be a nice addition to USA's stable.July 23, 2010
USA promises "characters," and Annie Walker is all of that.September 26, 2016
Piper Perabo is perfect in the role. Eerily, she even resembles Jennifer Garner to an extent, as it's impossible not to make comparisons to Alias.July 23, 2010
Covert Affairs is a zippy character study, and it puts Perabo's features to playful use in the earliest moments of the pilot, filling the screen with them in a context where they're begging to be studied.December 13, 2016
I'm not ready to start the Piper Perabo Appreciation Society just yet, but she's surprisingly good in the role of Annie Walker, a fresh-faced CIA agent who's trying to put her past behind her and get started out with the agency.July 23, 2010
If the CIA is even remotely like this place, we are all doomed.
