I hope it fails. Burn Notice is the best show on television and USA just wants to cash in on the "spy" angle for a show. Except Covert Affairs is more cheesy and less about how a spy really operates. In Burn Notice, they actually use a former covert operative as a consultant for the show. Even that show Royal Pains is a Burn Notice rip off. EXACT same premise. A doctor gets "fired/burned" and has to do free lance. Unlike BN, I don't think he's trying to get back in the medical community. Michael is trying to get back in..b/c in the intelligence field, being burned is probably the WORST thing to be. White Collar is kinda cheesy. Leverage? I don't even know what the f&*( that is. There's a reason Burn Notice has 6 million viewers a week. This show is a wanna be Burn Notice. I hope it fails.

After 2 episodes of Covert Affairs, I not only wanted to scratch my eyes out, but I wanted to rewind and get the 2 hours back from my life! I have noticed that USA network is really a hit or miss when nit comes to their original series. White Collar: good, Burn Notice: Yuck. Leverage: Good, Covert Affairs: total crap! Best wishes and thanks for stopping by! Krisy @Heather,

Also, I've seen commercials for a new JJ Abrams spy couple show, but I haven't seen it yet... Alias was just awesome. :-) I haven’t seen Covert Affairs, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Alias and can’t imagine this new show being better.
