InSecurity

I started watching this show without any knowledge of what it was about. I based my decision to watch the first episode based on the title and the description on IMDb when I read the phrase "safe...ish" There are very few comedies out there that are clever, amusing, and have new material. This show has it all and the dialogue is written very well. There are times when I think a lot of the actors are just improvising and reacting to others comments which makes interactions more natural.

I had a friend watch one of the episodes, and besides saying the lead female character was extremely attractive, he also thought the dialogue was entertaining and really grabs your attention.

This show is fantastic in its direction, comedy style, and dry humor. There has not been one episode where I did not laugh out loud. It won't make you laugh for minutes, but it will make you laugh for a few seconds several times during an episode.

I recommend this show 100% and give this show a 10 out of 10.

I spotted this one somewhere so I gave it a chance, and I've seen the three episodes that have aired so far. It's not great, and a lot of the jokes are a bit clichéd and fall flat, but they do get a smile or a laugh often enough that there are *much* worse things, like, oh, -Everybody Loves Raymond-, to spend your time watching. It'll be interesting to see if the writers work their way up or down with the quality. ATM, there's about a good joke every 5 mins, while the intervening stuff is mildly entertaining distraction. You can certainly watch this show in the background while doing something else more significant.

The best conceptual comparison to the show is probably the classic -Get Smart-, only focused more on '99' than Max. It has four "competent" characters('99' + three quirky ones), and two comic-relief bumblers. Some of the humor comes from the quirks of the three, some from the two bumblers, and some from other situations involving the villains... the '99' character is often a straight man for the humor, and that works fine.

Whatever you do, don't go in expecting the vaguest sort of realism -- note even the level you see in -Burn Notice- or -Chuck-. As was "Get Smart", this is lightly absurdist farce.

Watch the first episode (or any episode, if you want, they don't really need to be watched in order) -- If it makes you smile -occasionally-, then give it a chance. If it doesn't, then it's a safe bet it's not your cup of tea.

I needed to provide a review for those of you who only watched this show once. I watched the first episode last year wanting to laugh. It left me cold, but I felt that there was something there, so I decided to persevere and continue to watch it. As the show progressed, I found that my laughter and enjoyment of the show increased. I almost liken it to my enjoyment of Barney Miller back in the rerun era for that show in the 80's. I found the first show I watched not very amusing, but as you got to know the characters and their personalities the humour is the same as with Insecurity, funnier and funnier. Grace Lynn Kung as Jo Jo Kwan is off the wall hilarious. And how can you not love Natalie Lisinska's eyes as she reacts to the things that are going on around her. You have to give this show a chance and you will come to love it. I hope it is not gone for good.

Just good, clean fun. Kind of a modern day "Get Smart." Appealing cast, some pretty clever lines...no heavy lifting required. But you do have to pay attention as the best lines come out of nowhere and there are some knock-out obscure references to keep you on your toes. How another reviewer could find this one of the CBC's worst comedies ever is inconceivable to me. My reaction is that it might well be their best (which admittedly isn't saying much). However, in this case it plays as well as most anything I've seen of late and is one of my favorites amongst all the mainstream comedies currently in production (my top pick being "Modern Family." The late, great "Good Guys" with Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford got some good laughs out of me as well, uneven as it was).

I feel upon the show a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. I don't watch a lot of Canadian television, to be perfectly honest so it was not on my radar but I read something about it, was home so checked it out. The show centres around a group of misfit hapless spies who work for the fictional National Intelligence Services Agency. Each week they try to solve some international crisis - and manage to save the day in spite of themselves. It reminded me of "Get Smart" in its broad, arched humour. The cast were with the exception of Remy Girard, completely unknown to me - and it didn't make any difference. They are great. Remy Girard is a household name in Quebec and it is great to see him in an English comedy. He is wonderful as the veteran on the force. The characters are really growing on me and I find the more I watch, the more I like it. I also really like all the web videos connected with the show. It is a lot of fun and that is great.
