What do you think? Do you still like the Covert Affairs TV series? Are you hoping that it’s renewed for a fourth season?
I really can’t stand Covert Affairs anymore. Sloppy, sloppy writing. Cancel it please! White Collar rules though!!
This is a fantastic show! Every episode is better than the one before, even when you think it can’t get better, it does! I would be heartbroken if this was not renewed!
My only problem with the show is Auggie being blind and being sent to “backup” Annie on missions. Come guys, I know he was a novelty character for the first season but he’s clearly moved beyond that know. Have him fall down in the shower and see again. A shame to waste his acting abilities just having him stare into space all the time.
One of the best series on TV. It just has to be renewed. I love the fact that each episode isn’t a stand alone episode. Each show solves more of the puzzle. My kind of series! The season has more intrigue and more action. Glad they had the sister and her kids move and aren’t in every episode. It works best that she’s only a phone call away. This upcoming episode looks the most exciting ever!
I think this show may be in trouble now. I assumed the numbers would go up as the show moved towards its season finale but they seem to be stuck. CA seems to be doing particularly bad in the 18-49 demo which will be bad for advertising revenue and consequently bad for a show that must be expensive to produce due to the international locations. It is averaging well below a 1.0 in the demo. Maybe a 4th season with less episodes? Tuesday night is not a very competitive night and it is still doing poorly. Next week, Sons of… Read more »
Love the show but get rid of Lena, that storyline has really hurt the show
Love the show! I hope it gets renewed.
please cancel this show is so boring!!!!
I don’t like it at all…
DO NOT CANCEL!!!!!
Great show – can’t wait for new episodes ..
I stopped watching after the season 3 premier. What I have heard since then is disappointing. I am not rooting for it.
I like the cast but think the writing has become really poor. The ratings look like the are down a lot from season 2 and season 2 was already significantly down from season 1. I hope they are able to make some changes behind the scenes to make the stories better so the show doesn’t get cancelled. They’ve lost 50% of their audience since season 1 which is obviously not good.
We have enjoyed this great show ever since it debuted. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL this most pleasant escape from the glut of reality shows and many others geared toward viewers with IQ of no more than 10. Thank you for your consideration!

All of the episodes are recorded and cherished. They are delightful, perhaps a bit predictable but wonderful. I watch them repeatedly and enjoy every moment. Please, please keep renewing this series. It is one of the very best.

I love Covert Affairs. Never miss it. Sometimes I watch the second showing too! It is my favorite Tuesday night program. Please renew with additional episodes per season. I also own the complete DVD set for each season.
This is a great series. I hope they renew it.
