I watched the first season of "The Recruit" on Netflix last year, and just finished season 2.

It's a show about a guy that becomes a lawyer for the CIA (not a field agent), but then seems to constantly find himself in the field in battling bad guys. Yeah, it's not terribly believable, but it is pretty entertaining. The main guy not really being trained for the work, but always somehow managing to survive and eventually overcome all odds is the main driver for the show. He is always being helped out of no-win situations by others due to being able to connect with people.

I think there's a fair amount of dry humor in most episodes. I generally LOL at least a couple of times in each episode.

Most of the time, I watch and it seems fine, but the one detail that made me chuckle in this recent season was, the good guys get on a fishing boat in whatever marina is closest to Seoul, and need to go to Vladivostok, and I think they have "hours" not days, and they make it. I think it's 1000 miles from the water nearest Seoul to Vladivostok. I suspect your avg fishing boat is pretty slow, maybe mid 20s? So that would be a looooong trip.
