Premise

The Ottawa Citizen described the series as, "A clear-eyed, right-wing, steak-and-potatoes Calgary Mountie is teamed up with a tempestuous, sophisticated, chain-smoking Montreal séparatiste, who also happens to be a CSIS agent. They fight international terrorism when not fighting each other."

Production

The series was the first production from Serendipity films, which was formed by Montreal-native Robert Lantos when he sold Alliance to Atlantis to form Alliance Atlantis.

Reception

Richard Helm of The Edmonton Journal described the series as "laughably awful", adding that "...Cover Me also stands as a cautionary tale about what can happen when a broadcaster wades into a populist TV genre with which it's totally unfamiliar."
