Reviews: ‘White Collar’ and ‘Covert Affairs’ Come Back, But Only One Impresses

by admin on June 7, 2011

Filed under: ,

‘White Collar’ and ‘Covert Affairs’ both kick off new seasons Tuesday (at 9PM ET and 10PM ET respectively), and though they both abide by certain USA Network formulas, in execution they couldn’t be more different.

‘White Collar’s’ return is a sprightly, enjoyable affair — stylishly shot, well acted and deftly threaded with moral ambiguity — whereas the spy drama ‘Covert Affairs’ is surprisingly leaden.

I could go on about what ‘White Collar’ is doing right these days — and I will in a bit — but first, after a year of trying to crack this show’s code, I’ve finally figured out what ‘Covert Affairs’ is: It’s the spy show by and for people who’ve never seen ‘Alias.’
