I really like this program and am disappointed that it has been apparently abandoned by NBC and is slowly fading away. The cast is excellent. Vera Farmiga and Jon Seda are very effective in their roles as UC agents - always strong and never in doubt of their abilities, but sometimes overwhelmed by the demands of their jobs. Bruklin Harris and Jarrad Paul are convincing in their support roles. Jarrad Paul in particular, as Cody, provides a very enjoyable humorous antidote to the tense story lines. Oded Fehr is powerful and compelling as the UC team leader, Donovan - his character has begun to evolve from "controlling new guy" to inclusive leader and to develop unique relationships with team members. The individual story lines and arcs have all been engaging - I particularly enjoyed "The Siege," which was a gripping story about a prison riot that occurs when "Jake" and "Alex" are working undercover in the prison.
It's very disappointing that NBC has declined to promote UC: Undercover. In fact, many weeks go by between the airing of episodes, making it difficult for loyal fans to know when to look for it. I also find it puzzling that networks in general are reluctant to give shows like UC: Undercover an opportunity to settle in a bit before a decision is made about the program's future - this is one program that, while appealing from the first episode, has gotten better and better with each episode. Hopefully they'll let people know about the double episodes in March so that fans who won't have seen it for over 2 months will know it's on!
