Canada's Fictional Spy Agency Comedy

The comedy InSecurity follows a bumbling team of spies working for a fictional agency called NISA. Despite being set in the nation's capital of Ottawa, the show was actually filmed thousands of miles away in Regina, Saskatchewan.

This lighthearted series explored the absurdity of espionage through the eyes of agents working for the National Intelligence and Security Agency. While the show captured a uniquely Canadian comedic tone, it was cut short after just two seasons. Its sudden cancellation was not due to poor ratings, but rather widespread federal budget cuts affecting public broadcasting. It remains a fascinating example of how real-world policy can unexpectedly end a television run.
