This is the Netflix show not the one with Al Pacino. It dropped Friday night.
Owen Hendricks is a brand new recruit in the CIA legal counsel's office. Rather than take a high paying job in a top tier law firm he opted for high excitement job. He got it. Owen is assigned what looks like busy work, going through files people sent to the CIA threatening to black mail the CIA. It's mostly cranks but Owen stumbles across what could be a credible threat. His boss tasks him to investigate, much to the chagrin of people that have worked there longer. They try and sabotage him. Trouble ensues.
It is a fish out of water story. Owen is just naive enough to get in trouble but smart enough to navigate his way out of it. The first episode was quite fun as Owen find himself in waters way over his head in several situations. His solutions to the problems are poor but they are solutions.
The show also doubles as a toxic workplace comedy as we see the people Owen works with. Everybody is looking to cut down everyone else to get ahead and they have no time to explain the ropes to the newbie.
All quite fun. I will be watching more episodes.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
