Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

andrea-m-mccrary I've been following this show since the first episode. I believe this show failed for many reasons ... including the lack of a plot from the very first moments. The potential for something interesting was there, but the show didn't take risks and was shallow in terms of characters and storyline. I have enjoyed the past few episodes, and I believe the show has developed quite a bit, but it just didn't have enough umph in the first few tries to keep an audience entertained.

Scotty52 As an African American I like this show. I think it's OK that the writing/plot do not rival the works of Shakespeare or Richard Wright.It is entertaining and has beautiful people as the leads and they are black.I think the casting is interesting and different. I love that they speak different languages and are not typical of the black characters I see on TV and in the movies. And since I have never been spy or no any spies I think they do OK for a TV SHOW. I'm looking forward to the next episode. I like Gerald McRaney's character but could take or leave Hoyt, he may be a little too over the top in his admiration of Steven Bloom. I hope the show stays on but not too optimistic, it seems for a show with African Americans to stay on the air it needs to have a high level of buffoonery and can't just be entertaining.

Scott Miller I like action TV shows, I like throwback shows and I like Abrams, but Undercovers is dreadfully dull.The show has very high production values, but the recycled plots do nothing to cash in on them. Locales and set pieces are interchangeable as the by-the-numbers plots unfold. There's nary an original idea to be found.This might not be such a problem if we at least had good characters, but Undercovers is lacking there, too. We get only the most cursory back story for our leads. They seem to exist only in the moment. Even what we know about their past doesn't seem to jibe with what we see. First, they show no indication that they were ever highly trained operatives. They carry themselves like second-year agents, not the top spies who had to be reactivated because no one else could handle the job. Also, Samantha had a relationship with two characters on the show, but she has absolutely no chemistry with either of them.And that is the nail in the coffin for the show. All the other weaknesses of the show could be said about a similar cheesy mystery show from the 70s/80s: Hart to Hart. But the two leads in that show had chemistry, and it carried the entire series. The only thing that carries Undercovers is Gerald McRaney...but his appearances are too brief to do anything more than remind us of what this show could have been.

tobsydney59 Very entertaining! I loved it! This new spy-fest feels like a cross between the TV shows "Hart to Hart" and "Alias" and the movie "True Lies." Even though the pilot may have seemed a little lackluster at times, this is usual for pilots, since the script has to incorporate the introduction of brand new characters and situations to the audience as well as a backstory. There is obvious potential for fun and exciting story-lines this season, and I'm really looking forward to it! The casting of Boris and Gugu as the main characters is fabulous! They have wonderful chemistry and actually have the "aura" of spy-intelligent tech-geniuses! Also, it is quite refreshing to have a husband and wife team who have a LOVING relationship instead of the unhappy, fighting, "why did I marry you" type of couples running rampant in today's sitcoms. I hope they stick to their guns like "Hart to Hart" and keep this couple in love and in one accord. Movie and TV writers/producers should realize that there REALLY ARE some HAPPY couples out there -- emotionally mature, secure, and enjoying their relationships! It's time to reflect that segment of the population on screen too! Anyway, so far, the show looks like an adorable winner! Loved the globe-trotting locations too! Can't wait for the next episode!
