Dallas Adult Entertainment: USA Network delivers summer’s best intelligence
OKLAHOMA CITY – 7/18/2010 – Add another hour-long law enforcement procedural to the already crowded summer TV schedule. This time, “Covert Affairs” may have the formula figured out and the potential and charm to last.
“COVERT AFFAIRS”
Years ago Roger Ebert called Piper Perabo film’s most photogenic actress. She translates across the small screen with remarkable ease, as well.
When the CIA is in a pinch for a language specialist, they pluck Annie Walker (Perabo) prematurely from the Agency training grounds, “the farm,” and throw her into action. By the end of the episode we learn there may be more to her early exit and it may have to do with a certain steamy, whirlwind romance in Sri Lanka.
Almost immediately she’s forced to the learn the ropes in D.C. and gets tossed into a high profile case where she must use both her Russian tongue and her “call girl” looks.
