Here is my review of JJ Abrams’ latest television project, Undercovers which aired its premiere episode earlier this week. After watching the show, if I didn’t know Abrams I wouldn’t have been able to guess because the show is very different than his usual (Alias, LOST, Fringe). Did you see the premiere episode, what did you think?

Thanks for the warning. The commercials didn't really appeal to me, but with JJ involved I was going to download the pilot.
Now I'll save myself the indigestion.
It really doesn't feel like a JJ Abrams story. You can see his direction in the episode but the tone and choice of story seems more CW than anything. Perhaps a more mysterious/interesting storyline will develop soon?
I'll check out a few more and see.

The male protagonists facial hair should be a reason to avoid this show at all costs.
Sounds like a good reason to me, hahhaha

I was really excited when I heard about this show. I watched it last week and honestly it was disappointing. It is too predictable. I understand that they did not want to go as dark and gritty as "Alias" but it is too fluffy and cute. The show needs a little more edge, intrigue and unpredictability.
This show will probably be cancelled soon. Too bad as we have not had a big budget show with 2 blacks leads.
