Carina Ullberg I have just finished looking season 5 episode 16 and my thought was "Oh, but ... what ... I want to know".I liked Covert Affairs, I liked the acting - well almost everything. It was a series with after thoughts, action, romance, sorrow, some sex ... well it had about everything you can expect. I do become a little displeased with the fighting scenes. Why did all the men tried to strangle her? Every time? Isn't that a very difficult way to take out a opponent? Did the director have some special hangup with strangulation? Or is it consider special with a man strangle a female? Is it sexy or what? In my eyes it just is dumb. It is one of the first thing you learn to cope with if you have trained just a small amount of jujitsu for example - escaping a man trying to strangle you. And why should not a CIA-agent know those very simple thing ... They should be able to do something better than letting every man try to strangle her.And the heals? And the sound of the heals when she is trying to sneaking toward a room or in a stairway? That is not very truthful is it? And when she did fight wearing high stilettos, why did she not put the heal in the opponent?There was a lot of action flaws in my opinion but some how I really liked it. It was entertaining, thrilling, funny, sensitive and sadness (crying) - Yes, I do liked the series and I am a little sad that there was no more season.A question - does the spy earn that much money so they have afford those shoes and those clothes? I don't think those are very cheap :)

ariel-57331 Contains Spoilers. This series can be entertaining and intriguing at times. Christopher Gorman seems to have been awkwardly inserted into several plot lines that don't ring true including the romantic relationship with Annie mid way through the series. They abandoned that one and then several odd romances for Augie and then his abduction in Season 5. I don't know if he pushed for more direct involvement in the show, but these all seem very contrived. Other weaknesses include: a paucity of character development for Annie Walker! She seems to make the same mistakes over and over again. Why can't an agent move through her work without a new romance in every port? Not sure. Also, unsure as to whether they didn't follow the obvious romantic choice of Oded Feyr (Eyal) as these two had clear chemistry and it is never clear why Annnie does not go for him? We have no clue as to why she would prefer Ryan as we never get very deep inside Annie's head, except that she is 100% dedicated to her job.

bjarias A 'covert' agent looking like a medium-sized supermodel, with (of all ludicrous things) a blind guy as her genius CIA sidekick.. it's as far from reality as you can get. And where did they come up with some of the chase-music (at times distracting and downright annoying). And why were they compelled to shorten every scene (even the good ones) to less than 90 seconds, it gets most tedious when streaming episodes. All that being said, it is now into a fifth season (16 episodes.. and with declining viewership, maybe its' final one). MI-5 it ain't.. the sole reason it is still around at all is Piper Perabo. Like her or not she IS the show (garnering it's one award nomination). Coyote Ugly got her recognized.. CA has given her the high visibility most all actors dream about. It will be interesting to see where she goes from here.. and how they decide to finish up this production. The measure of a truly great series is one you cannot stop yourself from streaming episode after episode, and you must watch every minute of each and every one. CA is at times barely tolerable, and definitely does not fit into either of those two categories.

Roeland Roovers I've seen all three series and am now watching series 4 unfold. Until this latest one I liked it very much. The main characters really go into their roles. With a good storyline to get you want to watch the next episode. In the fourth season the two main characters start dating each other. That takes too much of the nice storyline which you could see in the first three series. I will finish watching season four, but if those two don't break up soon I'm done with it. So be smart and just watch until the end of season three, the writers seem to have lost their ability to give the series a nice twist. If you quit after season three you will miss what happened to one of the main characters.
