Anyone watch State of Affairs yet? SPOILERS

Yeah, I watched it.

It's not nearly as horrible as I thought it would be from the reviews. Agree with you on the cliche.

I don't think anyone would wear heels like that to that job at 2 in the morning. Sure, maybe she changes into them before going to the white house, but no. No stilettos to go running from floor to floor.

How she "lost" that security guard tailing her? Then climbed on the outbound truck? Whatever.

That line in the cemetery from Alfre Woodward about how she doesn't want to hear from the CIA analyst but from the woman who was supposed to give her grandchildren? I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

And listen, if I came home and my front door was open AND my gun was missing, I'm calling the cops, not going in further.

I didn't watch, but I wanted to. I see it's back on Saturday night at 9:00 Eastern.

it was ehhhh for me too. I am ? on Katherine Heigel anyway and kept calling her Izzy but other than that it was OK.

tiffanytwisted I had trouble reading the texts also. I didn't have a pair of glasses handy and felt like a jack in the box while trying to get close enough to read them. 

Funny you talk about the text messages. I get the whole blue/green thing, but for TV they need to be black text in a white box so they can be read. That really bugged me. The jury is till out for me as well. I'll give it a few tries, but not sure this one will make it. Some of the context is pretty complicated - I'm not really well versed on the conflicts in the Middle East.

I'll watch until I lose interest. I completely missed the twist at the end? Couldn't understand exactly what she said. I stopped watching How To Get Away With Murder after the third or fourth episode so we'll see if this one can hold my attention longer. I can always go back and have a marathon watch once the series goes on break to catch up.

I actually liked the texting and didn't find it difficult to read.

I'm giving it a couple more episodes, not sold on it at thus time.

The jury is one its way out for me. I might give it another shot but I found the show completely ... lacking in any credibility.
I really cannot imagine that the CIA would permit a senior analyst, one in charge of the daily briefing book, the nightly "exposure" that was shown here -- and hauling strange men to her home is too far fetched.
I really doubt that any Washington inside has an entire other wardrobe in their office -- she went to work at 2 AM, changed into a dress for the briefing (which in other works happens early each morning), into another dress for the funeral, then was back hustling in the bar that evening.
How is it that the director gets stopped by what purports to be Secret Service and no one checks?
The office staff helping Izzy "escape" and get info once she was dismissed and AFTER the director leaves the office show up in the POTUS office with the director.
That isn't all inclusive, but enough for the staging and plot points.
My biggest issue, I guess, is Katherine Heigle. I liked Izzy in Gray's Anatomy; the actress' leave taking was unfortunate; some of her other shows were ... okay, but generally not my choice of a movie. But for this sort of role, I think she lacks the gravitas to be taken seriously -- then to have one of the first scenes taking off her clothes ....
I'm willing to work with a movie and usually enter into the "willing suspension of disbelief" that fiction sometimes requires ... but common' .... I expect some semblance of credibility from the movie as well.
So far --- this is stupidly incredible. And if Black List was moved to February ONLY to make a place for this aberration, then I'm going to be really unhappy with the network!!
