If you're old enough to remember Chuck... but more intricate spy plot.
The Recruit is about a new law recruit for the CIA who gets caught up in CIA messes and even field work, and somehow stumbles his way through it. It's witty and funny, with some action and romance.
It's not gritty CIA spy work. It's an enjoyable series with humor about a cut throat workplace, about an environment of overwork, about being smart with secrets.
It's a solid technical production with fresh new faces. The spy plot and action sequences move this thriller series at a decent pace, all the while peppered with some witty humor. It's a spy series that's not too overly intense, and quite charming, though I will say that the charm is focused on Owen, the main character, the spy stud who gets the girls, so it may depend on whether you want to watch what happens to Owen or not, and if Owen's charms rub off on you or not.
At the moment, I am eager to see if there is a next season.
