Detective Chu Po not only solves the most crimes but is also a serious gourmet. Killer Li Tze-tung sees every meal as the last in his life, and therefore becomes extremely picky on cuisine. Novice police officer Wu Wei seems straightforward but she has a secret. One night when Chu and Li are forced to share a table, their passion for food forms an unusual bond between them. Later when Wu joins in, their fates entwine and the cruel truth is unveiled as the last dinner draws to a close.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this series.
What are critics saying?

Wall Street Journal by Dorothy Rabinowitz
It promised, in short, steadily absorbing plots and skilled writing, and these the series has delivered ever since.

Slate by Troy Patterson
Covert Affairs is a zippy character study, and it puts Perabo's features to playful use in the earliest moments of the pilot, filling the screen with them in a context where they're begging to be studied.

Zap2it (Inside the Box) by Hanh Nguyen
With Covert Affairs, USA has added another slick and likable drama to its summer lineup.

Philadelphia Daily News by Ellen Gray
But it's Perabo, as an endearing overachiever who thinks on her well-shod feet, who makes Covert Affairs such an entertaining ride.

Los Angeles Times by Mary McNamara
Covert Affairs may not have the revenge factor of "Burn Notice" or the bromantic banter of "White Collar," but it's fast-paced, fun and every bit as charming.

The Hollywood Reporter by Randee Dawn
It's perfect summer television--just turn off the excess brain cells and let Agent Walker do the seduction, and the shooting, for you.

The New York Times by Alessandra Stanley
Covert Affairs is fun and clever and Ms. Perabo has panache in the role.

Variety by Brian Lowry
The pilot rumbles forward on crisp action and light-hearted humor, while hinting at higher stakes that offer room for narrative growth. While easily dismissed as another "Alias" (like Jennifer Garner, Perabo can do wonderful things to a simple skirt and heels), the show also makes clever use of Walker's newbie status.
