Just seen this advertised and it looks like my sort of thing. It's on Really (Freeview 20 | Sky 248 | Virgin 267) tonight from 9pm-10.30pm.

Series 1, Episode 1: Pilot
US crime drama series about a young CIA trainee sent out into the field to work at the Domestic Protection Division. Annie is soon in peril hunting for a Russian spy.With Piper Perabo, Christopher Gorham, Kari Matchett, and Anne Dudek.

The reviews seem OK from what I've read. One review says it's similar to Alias. That means little as I have never seen Alias! :(

Has anyone seen it and is it worth a watch?

*no spoilers please* :)
 
Basically what the guy above said, its fine as a filler in between other shows or if you happen to fancy Piper Perabo. Other than that its pretty average.
 
Yup, I wouldn't compare it to Alias AT ALL, okay, its CIA based, thats about as close as it gets.

Alias, basically sci fi, big action saving the world type storylines, and a big ego'd moron in charge so the story went to insanity levels pretty quickly :p

Covert Affairs, newbie spie, little in the terms of badass action, rarely guns, a bit of hand to hand here and there.

Its interesting, there are some good episodes and it can be funny, its more drama than thiller/action/anything else.

Probably better than filler but not great by any stretch of the imagination.
