Covert Affairs-Season 1-Cool Takings

Neutralising Reality of the CIA
A cool sleuth tv series, one can really enjoy the slow pace of its action.

No, I do not believe that CIA actually works in such a manner.

Unspoken Charms
There is just too much focus on using the youngest operative in all operations that is dear to the motherland.

I did enjoy the fun though of the charming lass in the persona of Annie Walker and Oggie, the blind maverick behind situation resolutions.

Walker and Oggie
The series ended with the shooting of Ben as a cliff-hanger but everyone expects him to live to put the zing back into Annie Walker's love life.

Otherwise the Piper Perabo character will just go wasted!

Homeland-An Explosive Finish!

Edge of the Seat Suspense!
Though Season 1 was slow; trying to work out the background details; Season Two was nail biting with a  cat-and-mouse game played by Congressman Brody, CIA agents Kerrie, Saul and David Estee.

Nicholas Brody
The introduction of Israeli agents into the picture also created additional suspense.

The Second Season ended with a bang when Brody's car blew out a memorial service for the deceased Vice-President. The hundreds of dead victims was quite a sight.

Carrie Mathison
It also help tie loose ends with Brody leaving the country and Kerrie deciding to continue her service with the CIA.

Jessica Brody
Family-wise, it also allows a new beginning for Brody's family to have a new surrogate father through Mike.

Saul Berens
Let us see whether the Third Season can sustain the suspense.
