What grade do you give NBC's 'State of Affairs'?

    OK, saw the previews over the last few months but never watched it until last night. It was the episode where the Nigerian(?) school girls were kidnapped by terrorist (-10 pts. on originality). Fortunately I had Pepto Bismol on hand because I felt queasy to the stomach up through the first commercial.
    Really? High profile "Analyst" by day party girl by night who carries clout and clearances fit for the CIA director.
    Barking orders to fresh faced kids just a few years out of college (ok Grad school). I suppose it is believeable if you had know idea how the corporate or government works other than TV shows and a few movies.
    So yeah, epic fail.

    Poor substitute for Blacklist which rates #1 in my book. A poor copy of Homeland with a little of Madam Secretary thrown in for good measure. Misses the boat as far as political tension and "edge of the seat" action. Don't think I will be suffering through it.

    It was a bit shaky, but not bad overall. The #1 problem I had was that the soundtrack overwhelmed the dialogue. It seemed like the incidental music was significantly louder than the dialogue and several times I wished for closed captioning! Other than that I'm interested and I'll watch again.

    I thought it was lousy. Very confusing plot. Only watched for Alfre Woodward. I want the Blacklist back please! Won't be watching again!

    It was decent - but don't need the heavy drinking sex crap ... she can have issues, we just don't need to see it and with her position, makes it hard to believe it .. the problem is KH - too much has been written about her and folks need to give her a chance to redeem herself .. the other issue is, the storyline is much like Madam Secretary and no way will this show kick off as good as that one is now .. has to have time to breathe and settle into our menu of shows to look forward to.. lose the heavy booze sex .. too over the top.. and give the Prez a better writer ..
