I want to ask the directors and producers, please bring Covert Affairs back for a 6th season. Season 5 ended with so many cliffhangers that need to be resolved. The story is obviously not finished yet. Auggie and Annie has unfinished business and belong rogether, Annie's new job offer with needs to be explored Calder and Stephanie' s potential romance, Arthur's senator run.. please, these plots have yet to be resolved. There is some really good content left. F it is a money issue, I am sure you can make a plan. This is an excellent show and needs to end with the proper unravelling of all plots and sub plots.
If you like Piper Perabo, you will probably like this show. Her character, Annie, is a CIA agent who hits the ground running right out of training. It helps that she is something of a prodigy--excellent with weapons, amazing at hand-to-hand combat, and a whiz with languages. Though she sometimes has to confront her personal fears, for the most part she is determined to tackle any problem by immersing herself in the heart of the matter.
I have watched this show from its inception and, seasons later, I am still interested. The character of Annie is multi-dimensional. By now, we know her romantic history, her personal quirks, and her weaknesses. Auggie is her personal handler and personal friend. He usually augments her in-the-field forays from HQ with his superior intelligence IQ, but he has been known to accompany her on location.
One thing I really enjoy about the series is the location filming. They film around the world, adding authenticity to the production.
For those critics who say the series is unrealistic (every series has them), well neither is Bond. But the writers know how to create stories that are filled with intrigue. And many of the show's story lines feel like they have been ripped from the pages of global news reports.

I just recently started watching Covert Affairs again and forgot what a fun little show this was. Is it believable? Absolutely not. Will you still have fun watching it? Absolutely! This series about is CIA officer Annie Walker (Piper Perabo) who goes from an unknown new recruit to one of the best agents in the entire agency. She chosen at first because of her linguistic skills and thrown into the field with little training. To help her is ex special operative Auggie Anderson (Christopher Gorham) who was blinded in the field and is in intelligence now to guide Annie from afar. He becomes her most trusted friend and the two of them have great chemistry as actors.
I like the show but what bothers me is that it takes Annie almost four seasons to dye her hair. In season four she never took the time to wear a cap or sunglasses which makes her harder to be recognized. It puzzles me why she never disguises herself.
