Steven Bloom and his wife, Samantha, appear to be a typical married couple, owners of a small Los Angeles catering company. But the Blooms have a secret past -- before they retired from the business and got married, the couple were the CIA's best spies. When a friend and fellow spy goes missing, the couple get thrust back into the world of espionage and realize that the job provides the excitement and romance that their marriage has been lacking. The series was created by J.J. Abrams ("Fringe," "Lost," "Alias").

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Visually sharp but narratively undercooked, Undercovers is occasionally fun but lacks the dramatic tension needed to pull off its blend of action and comedy.

In reality, "Undercovers" is disappointing. There's potential there for a fun show, but when Abrams is co-writing (with Josh Reims) and directing... you expect more than potential. Go to Full Review Joshua Alston AV Club 06/09/2020

But it's still missing the mark for me because it's just not particularly well-executed as a spy thriller. Go to Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today 09/30/2010

J.J. Abrams' "Undercovers" is a woebegone spy drama with nary a hint of intelligence. Call it "The Quantum of Stupor." Go to Full Review Jeffrey Kirkpatrick TV Fanatic 06/09/2020
2/5
I've never been so disappointed in an offering bearing the name J. J. Abrams until now. I can only hope that something changes, and soon. Otherwise Undercovers will find itself over and out. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 06/09/2020
