For me most of the intelligence TV shows or movies are pretty much the same just different actors. Covert Affairs, Spooks, Strike Back, Nikita, Chuck, The Americans, etc all basically have the same premise. We don't even care that much how believable they are.
But what brings us back week after week are the characters. Because really do we honestly believe all these missions happen week after week? I am intrigued about the Russian element to the show. I liked the characters so far for the most part. I'm kind of iffy on mommy dearest.
I believe this show does it as well as most others but I love the twist with the parents being Russian spies. Yes I know it has been done, The Americans. Before everyone jumps on me I am not saying they are in the same caliber as The Americans, but I think there will be room for this one as well.
Intelligence Agency TV shows are quickly replacing those gawd awful reality shows and really aren't we all glad for that.
The first time I watched State of Affairs I knew I didn't like it but watched the next one and realized I shouldn't have wasted my time. I enjoyed Covert Affairs, but they wrecked this with the last season. I loved Nikita but I think they went as far as they could go, but I loved the characters. Strike Back was a series I quite enjoyed, but even that show was starting to be the same every week.
I believe this one has a chance, but then I really liked Intelligence and they cancelled that. I think this show is just about entertainment as were most of the others and I think this will be a show I will watch weekly, until they screw it up with the partners sleeping together.
