InSecurity
InSecurity is a Canadian action comedy television series. The series focuses on a team of spycatchers set at the fictional Canadian National Intelligence and Security Agency. The series is set in Ottawa but filmed primarily in Regina. The initial season of 13 episodes premiered January 4, 2011. It was followed by a second season of 10 episodes before cancellation by CBC on April 19, 2012 due to budget cuts from the 2012 Canadian federal budget. One of the producers called it "the 24 of Canada"; one writer described it as "24 without Jack Bauer; CSI minus the science; and James Bond - if James Bond were Mr. Bean." The initial pilot focused on the tedium involved in electronic eavesdropping but the decision was made that it would be too "niche". A second pilot was done with a more 24 approach.

Episodes
1. The Doctor
NISA Team Leader Alex Cranston is captured by uranium smugglers, who bring in a freelance torturer enhanced interrogation specialist (the eponymous "Doctor") to question her. The matter is complicated by the fact that Agent Cranston discovers that the torturer enhanced interrogation specialist is someone from her past. The remainder of the report will cover the team's attempts to locate and recover Cranston.
2. Keeping up with the Laslovs
A mission to retrieve stolen secret Canadian submarine plans is complicated when Agent Cranston and Director McNeil (who takes a rare turn at field work) are invited to dinner by the Russian couple they're surveilling.
3. View To A Nursing Home
Alex and her team have to spy on a right-wing terrorist group. But surveillance becomes difficult when their only vantage point is the nursing home where Alex's cranky grandmother lives.
