Covert Affairs (Seasons 1–5)

Covert Affairs (2010) is an American spy series from USA Network that you can watch online on iFILM, with Piper Perabo as Annie Walker — a CIA trainee who gets pulled into active fieldwork far sooner than the standard career track allows.

Annie speaks six languages and has the kind of focus that earns her a fast-track posting — but there may be more to the recruitment than meets the eye. Her anchor at Langley is Auggie Anderson (Christopher Gorham), a military intelligence officer who lost his sight on a previous mission and now runs Annie through the bureaucratic maze he knows better than anyone. Peter Gallagher and Kari Matchett round out the core cast as the agency handlers keeping her on assignment.

The show runs as a brisk procedural that doesn't drown in espionage gloom — each episode moves through a mission while the larger question of Annie's past keeps the longer arc turning. A solid pick for anyone who wants a smart, fast-paced thriller series with a strong female lead. Stream all seasons of Covert Affairs online on iFILM.
