It is a drama series that embodies the intricate relationships of Oz (Christian Slater), Melanie (Odette Justman), Cash (Alfonso McCauley), and Cameron Price (Brett Harrison). It is a series of tasks that these people perform in a high-tech security company, as they struggle with ups and downs in their work and career always.
The plot doesn't offer a lot of possibilities. The jokes are predictable even when the delivery is hip, and none of the characters is especially likable.
I can see Breaking In growing into a pleasant, mildly goofy comedy that offers the light-adventure qualities of a USA or TNT show and the silly diversions of a half-decent Chuck episode.
Clever in spots and filled with pop-culture references, with its modest charms and well-trodden concept this comedic caper represents the kind of formula that has historically struggled to break out.
Breaking In succeeds only in being a stupendously bad half-hour of television that should be charged with breaking and entering into unsuspecting living rooms.
