Since I’ve seen no mention of it, I have to say Leverage.
Leverage follows a five-person team: a thief, a grifter, a hacker, and a retrieval specialist or “hitter”, led by former insurance investigator Nathan Ford, who use their skills to carry out heists to fight corporate and governmental injustices inflicted on ordinary citizens.
I freely admit the structure of the episodes becomes a little stale after a while (the team starts a con against the episode villain(s), things go south, and then either they improvise a solution or it’s revealed they already anticipated the issue), but for me the chemistry between the cast keeps the show entertaining to the end.
It’d without a doubt my most rewatched TV series, a comfort show of sorts.
I can’t say anything about the reboot (Redemption) as I’ve not got around to watch it yet.

Leverage is pure comfort watch. So fun. And might even learn a thing or two.
Btw if you don’t mind British humor, Hustle, is/was also a great watch.
Similar themes and con of the week but the characters and power dynamics make it shine. Would recommend!
Watching Leverage reminded me of watching Burn Notice long ago. It’s fun and entertaining, but it’s also trash, but that’s okay, it knows what it is.
