If you are too lazy to watch a whole episode of Chuck, then Breaking In is for you. Comedy action adventure meets The Office, crammed into 20 minutes. It's slightly jarring to find a high concept show like Breaking In in such a short time slot, but it works.
Diminutive con man Cameron (Bret Harrison) is recruited against his will by the all knowing Oz (a delightfully hammy Christian Slater) to be the newest member of Contra Security. Contra is hired by top end clients to test their security very literally by staging break ins and reporting back. A clever premise, it allows the team to be crooks and good guys all at the same time.
If the work isn't dangerous enough, Cameron has to survive the attentions of his gifted and eccentric colleagues: love interest and safe cracker Melanie (Odette Annable), sci-fi fan boy and prankster Cash (Alphonso McAuley) and super competitive and manipulative Josh (Trevor Moore). The show abounds with geeky pop-culture references, from Han Solo outfits to Captain Kirk's chair, and is squarely aimed at the young adult male market.
Breaking In airs on M-Net on Fridays at 19h00.
Watch out for a guest appearance by Alyssa Milano in the next episode.
