Digging the new USA show Covert Affairs, which appears to be a stylish bubblegum espionage action/romance series.  Good production values and effects, even though the makeup is, of course, a bit over-done.

Wide-mouthed Piper Parabo is looking very toned, very hot, and is growing into her features quite nicely in her mid-30s.  She’s acting better than I remember her having done, and although I don’t speak the (many) languages her character speaks, I’m convinced by her accents.  Seeing her character have to play a role within the show, she’s showing good range.  It’s also nice to see charming and boyishly-handsome Christopher Gorham, a fave of mine, back on a show — I haven’t seen him around for a while.

So far — and my predictions in the past have been notoriously bad on the nature of programs based on their pilots — it is coming across much like Alias without the fantasy element, and with some nice intrigue.  Provisional recommendation.
