Summary of "The 2nd Season - Wheeeeeeeeaaaaaaaton!": Leverage has quickly become one of my favorite shows, and I've recommended it to a ton of people. Unfortunately for us up North, I don't think it even airs on TV here, and the DVDs aren't even for sale (though Amazon.ca has imported them). It makes me sad that many of my countrymen won't have a chance to experience an absolutely brilliant TV series.
There's an episode this season which features actor/writer Wil Wheaton, probably best-known for his roles in Stand By Me and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Wheaton has been a writer for a number of year (great stuff, by-the-way), and runs a very popular blog. Wheaton blogged about his time on the set of Leverage, and it's well-worth reading for fans of the show (he's also a fan, so at times he goes all fan-boy, which is fun to read).
Leverage is a great show, and a pretty darn good DVD set. If you haven't already added this to your collection, it's certainly worth getting. (read entire review)
Summary of "The 1st Season - Awesome show!": Okay, this show blew me away! The entire time I was trying to think what shows it reminded me of, and I came up with the perfect combination of shows; The A-Team (which was also mentioned in one of the featurettes), and Hustle, a BBC series about a bunch of con men (and woman). I absolutely loved the characters, the style of the show, and the writing. I was howling during a few episodes because the lines were hilarious, and other shows had me clapping. I really got into this show while watching it, and by the end of episode 13 I was annoyed it didn't go on longer. Luckily the show has already been renewed for a second season (they even have a featurette on it), so next year I can look forward to watching 15 episodes of the show. Yeehaw!
If you like Hustle or The A-Team then you have to pick up Leverage. The show is top-notch, and the DVD presentation is great (they just need a "play all" on season 2). This is one that should be owned, or at least rented. (read entire review)
