In short I think Leverage is fantastic! The stories are convincing and surprising, ALL the actors are doing a great job and the characters of the show are intriguing. You have scripts that contain a well-balanced mix of thriller and comedy and all those single players forced to work as a team are a lot of fun to watch. The idea of a bunch of con artists screwing bad guys in suits is certainly not new, but that doesn't make it any bit less enjoyable to watch. Ocean's 11 might be more glamorous but Leverage sure makes you laugh more often, especially watching Elliot & Hardison, the muscle and the geek, being forced to team up is always hilarious. You're in for a treat with this show, you have my word on that!!!

As an avid fan of American cop and forensic shows, or just the good versus evil genre of programmes this is one to watch. It's meant to be cheesy and entertaining and it pulls this off very well. Of the more serious programmes I would rate CSI New York as the best. And for more entertaining and humorous NCIS and The Closer. As a first season this is very very good indeed out of the stalls judging it against the afore mentioned shows. Characters are varied, dysfunctional and quirky, and it is probably the nearest I have seen in a long time of a show having a potential to grow into that 80's A-Team feel.

It's a fifteen show series so not quite as good value as some of the 24 part series but if you like Burn Notice, NCIS and The Closer, you will love this. There is a little bit of mission impossible thrown in and I would hope the writers develop this style more, in line with a solid character line-up.

This is a comedy thriller series about a series of thieves and con-men who help people out. Clearly not aiming for social realism or a political message it is by and large entertaining.

The characters are well defined, and their interaction provides a lot of the humour. Of the characters I actually found Timothy Hutton a bit tiresome, as the alcoholic team leader, he was entirely wonderful in A NERO WOLFE MYSTERY - Series 1.

The series starts off in tremendous style, with the first episode easily being the strongest of the bunch, the series really does start to sag in the middle. The nature of a show like this is that you get the same basic plot every week, so with a box set it is easy to overdose and find it all a bit samey, better to ration out the episodes. I suspect that a writers pool was maybe relied on mid season to produce episodes, with the proviso that they were not allowed to actually develop any of the characters, hence proficient but not dazzling episodes.

The series does go up a notch for the conclusion, and I will be ordering the next series for family viewing.

I would however pitch this below Burn Notice - Season 1 [DVD] [2007] for family entertainment. Definitely try out Burn Notice first, but if you have run out of Burn Notice series to watch then you might be pleasantly surprised by this.
