Every episode would have a clear goal and it provides an easy big bad for the whole series!

A husband and wife team.
He works for Honeywell, frantically racing around, repairing middle guidance systems under contract no matter the reason.
She works UNH, in an ever accelerating race to deny medical coverage to insurance holders no matter how small the bill.

Plenty of medical dramas in Australia. Lots of mileage in the handsome doctor meets an attractive nurse trope.
