Television is small, the Internet is big!

For the third season of its popular show Covert Affairs, Cable TV network USA is releasing a new web series called Covert Affairs: Sights Unseen to give fans and online auds the opportunity to connect more with the characters from the show. 

The prequel web series is set a few years before the show started, and follows Auggie Anderson (played by Christopher Gorham) on one of his early assignments since joining the CIA after being blinded in iraq. Gorham also stars in the web series and directs all its episodes.
