Latest episode clacks for this show:
This light summer spy series continues to entertain me, even as it adds a character I’m not all that crazy about.
The big story for the week was the return of ‘True Blood’ on HBO, which remains the biggest hit the network has where ratings are concerned. On the broadcast networks, NBC unscripted continues to hold the lead.
Annie is stuck in Argentina with an Italian to protect and an assassin on their tail. With little support from the DPD, is she able to protect both of them? Plus, an offer Auggie may not be able to refuse!
I worried that this episode was going to be too by-the-numbers, that Annie would seamlessly trick everyone and nab the bad guy lickety-split. Then the episode took some pleasing, surprising turns.
It was a big premiere week on cable as ‘Pretty Little Liars’, ‘Memphis Beat’, ‘Hawthorne’, ‘Lives of Chloe King’, ‘Hot In Cleveland’, and ‘Happily Divorced’ all debuted. On the broadcast networks, the NBA again took the top spot.
After the emotional Ben Mercer storyline of last week, ‘Covert Affairs’ went with an episode filled with good old spy craft.
Three NBA games stole the glory for the week on the broadcast networks while cable offered up a number of summer premieres, including ‘White Collar’, ‘Covert Affairs’, ‘Switched At Birth’, and ‘The Glades’.
