Katherine Heigl, makes her dramatic debut tonight, Monday, November 17th at 10/9c headlining NBC's new series, State of Affairs.

Alfre Woodard co-stars as President Constance Payton.
These two powerful women share a professional and personal bond. Terrorists killed the president's son, who was Tucker's lover.

There's been heavy NBC promotion for State of Affairs, Alter Ego, obviously in an effort to retain that loyal Blacklist audience at 10 PM on Monday.
We've all heard of Heigl's reportedly "difficult" reputation stemming from her Grey's Anatomy days. We've also seen her hopes of a big screen film career fade, replaced by a cold remedy commercial.
While it's not likely to match the quality of The West Wing, anyone who finds political dramas such as Secretary of State intriguing, probably will sample State of Affairs at least once. I intend to do so, therefore I haven't read any reviews yet because I don't want them to influence my opinion even subconsciously. The headlines alone indicated mixed reviews.

Alter Ego, these days, I'm watching Castle out of habit more than anything else. For example tonight Caskett honeymoon at a dude ranch. (YAWN!) I hope the show improves, because it's been limping along on lame plots for a few seasons now. Except for the storyline last season that introduced James Brolin as Castle's super-spy father, it's been mostly lackluster.

I decided to nix Castle tonight in order to record State of Affairs. Luckily, the plot for Castle tonight sounds exceedingly stupid, so I don't think I'll miss much.

Same here, I haven't liked Castle since they hooked up and I use to love it. I watched SOA and so far I am undecided. Will have to watch a couple more.
I know I don't care for Madam Secretary at all.

I read an extremely scathing review before the episode tonight. Written by someone who obviously is not a fan of KH. I liked the first episode. It has promise.

Ditto here. There is WAAAAAY too much estrogen lately if you ask me. What's up with all these hard-a$! female driven shows? Nope. Hope it tanks.

The first half I was bored but it seemed to get better the second half. I always try to give a show 3 chances. For me TV is just entertainment and when I have to try to figure out these complicated plots I get bored with it. Heigel always plays a character I would never like in real life both on TV and in movies.
