Covert Affairs: Great Start To Season 2

[richardcuccia · 10/10 · 7 June 2011]

Spoiler Alert !! I was most happy & pleased with this 1st episode of Season 2. Action, pleasant character interaction, a number of story pickups from last season (Annie/Ben, Arthur/CIA lawyers), good writing & acting, plot twists, & all that made CA so charming last year. All of the characters from last year (Auggie, Joan, Arthur, Jai, &, of course, Ben) make an appearances.

If things continue like this s2e1, Covert Affairs will be at the top of the summer ratings again. Again, you will not be disappointed.

Spoiler part: At the beginning of the episode, I was quite happy, and you will be also. Figure it out. :)

I couldn't enjoy this episode because of its ignorance

This episode was embarrassing to watch.

Firstly - Estonia has no promethium mines.

Secondly - there was no mysterious change after we went to Euro. It's simply another currency.

Thirdly - Estonian language is not even similar to Russian language. The Estonian accent is completely different from the Russian accent. These two languages have no similarities.

Fourthly - Those "Estonian" phrases used during the car chase were just some mumblings. After listening to them at least ten times I found not a single syllable that might have given any idea what she was yelling.

Whenever foreign characters/languages/countries are used in (American) movies I find it typical that not even a single research has been done while writing the script.

At least get the names right and don't use Russian names.
