Tonight marks the return of Glee and New Girl, which have both been on hiatus for a few weeks. So which one have I chosen as my must-watch? Neither! I've definitely missed these two shows, but there's another series returning tonight that I've been missing for months: Covert Affairs (10/9c on USA).
This show is truly one of my faves. It mixes the spy scenarios of Alias with a beautiful, charming female lead character a la Alias and gorgeous guys who help the lead character and may also be a potential love interest for her, kinda like - what show was that again - oh yeah, Alias! But this compelling show also has a few of its own unique things going on. Two of the topmost CIA peeps are married, which leads to some pretty interesting conflicts of interest. The female lead, Annie Walker (played by a perfectly cast Piper Perabo) has an attractive righthand man in Auggie (Henry from Ugly Betty), who just so happens to be blind, which doesn't slow him down one bit. While seemingly a potential future love interest for Annie, Auggie also seems to be quite the ladies man. Which leaves the door open for a bunch of other Annie suitors, from the CIA agent she didn't know was a CIA agent, to another operative she met in the field, to a doctor whom she met when he was treating one of her family members.
Between her dangerous missions and her men, Annie has her hands full. Boy, would I love to have her hands. Minus the missions.
