Covert Affairs The Complete Series: Blu-ray Review

In television history, there have been quite a few classic espionage shows. There was Mission: Impossible, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., the British classic The Avengers and Charlie's Angels, just to name a few.

In 2010, on the USA Network, a new show created by Matt Corman and Chris Ord debuted. That show was Covert Affairs. Now, 16 years after its debut, Universal Home Entertainment is releasing the entire series on Blu-ray for the first time ever.

Synopsis: Annie Walker, a brilliant CIA operative and linguist with girl-next-door charm, the instincts of a born spy, and a hunger for adventure, is plucked straight from training at the Farm and assigned to the Agency's Domestic Protection Division, tackling high-stakes cases at home and around the globe. Guided by Auggie Anderson, a skilled, blind operative who becomes her mentor and closest ally, Annie navigates dangerous missions while keeping her covert life hidden from family and friends.

Covert Affairs ran for an exciting 5 seasons and thrilling 75 episodes. Now it is generally accepted that the first couple of seasons are definitely better. The series suffered a bit from fatigue in the later seasons. But there is no denying that the series is still entertaining and a lot of fun to watch.

Universal Home Entertainment has transferred these seasons to Blu-ray in 1080p and is presented in 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The audio track is an English Dolby Digital 5.1 track and there is subtitles in English and Spanish. There is also an English descriptive tack as well.

Covert Affairs looks and sounds good in HD. But it doesn't look as though there was any restoration given to these episodes. But this 19-disc Blu-ray set is the first time this entire series has been available on Blu-ray. So that is a definite upgrade. Universal also added some nice bonus features. Take a look at what is included.

Featurettes include:
*Welcome to the Farm
* Blind Insight
* Celebrate the ADA
* Covert Affairs on Location
* Set Tour
* Action Reel
* Behind-the-scenes featurettes
* Deleted scenes
* Gag reels/blooper reels

Not only do you get the whole series run, but all the bonus features seen above. Talk about a lot of bang for your buck. Also, each season receives its own Blu-ray case and all 5 cases are housed in a slip box. 

So if you love a good adventure TV series, why not give Covert Affairs a try if you haven't already? You might find yourself a fan. If you would like to add Covert Affair The Complete Series on Blu-ray to your home video library, head over to MovieZyng or Amazon and order your copy today.
