State of Affairs: Pilot

November 18, 2014 12:34 PM - Season 1, Episode 1

Intelligence analyst Charleston "Charlie" Tucker prepares the President's Daily Brief on the anniversary of the death of Aaron Payton, her fiancee and the President's son, in an attack on their convoy in Kabul, using her editorial discretion to suppress shaky intelligence about the location of Omar Fatah, the terrorist responsible for the attack, in order to free up a Special Forces team to rescue an American doctor with an uncanny resemblance to Aaron.

Five minutes in, I now understand what 'hate watching' is.

NBC’s frankenshow: “State of Affairs” borrows heavily from every other show on TV. It steals looks and situations from other shows without understanding what makes them successful, or laying the groundwork that other shows have.

You made it five minutes? Those flashbacks, ugh, enough already.
