The premise was hardly new, but still somewhat interesting, for a while.
Your Average TV Nerd (who is a projection of what writers think real nerds/geeks are) somehow gets involved with NSA, CIA etc.
Cue the usual "fish out of water" comedy bits about a hopeless guy dealing with life-threatening situations in a clumsy but surprisingly effective and successful way. All of that with the help of the token Hot Chick, who quickly becomes his love interest, and of a hardened veteran who may or may not be fond of our little cute spy anyway.
Things go definitely downhill as seasons go by, with more and more regular people becoming involved, and by the final season almost every single character is a spy or at least a supporter.
Needless to say, such incremental growth of the amount of actual spies in the show kills the whole premise... Once the "average Chuck" has turned into a skilled intelligence agent, what's the point in watching?
For the hackneyed love story with Sarah? For the convoluted web of spying relationships all across the board?
Not really,and indeed the show's quality has declined sharply. Not that the beginning was that great either, but at least it was sort of funny to follow Chuck threading the water in his newfound "career".
