The Racialicious Roundtable for Undercovers 1.2

Hosted by Arturo R. García

So, based on last week’s open thread, here’s how the tally broke down:

• Nikita: 6
• Undercovers: 4
• Both: 4

Which is close enough for us to keep an eye on both shows for the time being. When it comes to Undercovers, that might not be too long: The Wrap reports that the show’s ratings dropped by 24 percent between its’ premiere and the second episode, “Instructions.” Meanwhile, Law & Order: Los Angeles – starring SKEET FRAKKING ULRICH – looks to be progressing nicely. Seems we can’t win for losing. But does this episode even mark the show as being worth saving? Let’s see what the Roundtable has to say …

Based on a Twitter exchange with Sigrid from Fantastic Fangirls, here’s a theory about this show: is it really a USA Network program that’s found its’ way on to NBC “proper”?

Mahsino: That’s why I’m not into this show. The cheese factor of the show would be perfect alongside Burn Notice, Royal Pains and Psyche. But then again, NBC is still trying to keep making Chuck happen, so I’m not really sure what’s going on since that show is also seems headed to USA character status.

jen*: Oy – it really does feel like a USA show.  Although this ep was in some ways better than the last, I’m still waiting for things to get good.
