Blake's 7

In an interview, Paul Darrow called Firefly (2002) and its film follow-up Serenity (2005), "Today's "Blake's 7"".

In many episodes the team transport down to a particular place then walk, sometimes long distances, to their final destination past security guards, cameras etc. Also Vila is frequently called upon to use his 'hacking' skills to open various locks and doors.

But in many cases there is no reason why they could not have just transported down to where they wanted to go in the first place. To get past a locked door it is simply a matter of returning to the Liberator and then back to the other side of the door.
