Leverage

   Good day people. I've been wondering what show to check out next, and my finger today stopped at Leverage. Leverage is a 40minute show broadcasted on TNT, at the moment the 4th season is ongoing.

   This show is different, it is episode-to-episode action 99% of the time there isn't connection between the episodes (apart the actors of course). The background plot is little to non-existent and is developing slower than the creation of a new galaxy. Well then, you might ask, why should I watch it? It's simple, Leverage is a modern version of Robin Hood, instead of a forest we have the city, but we still have the rich "villains" who are stepping all over the normal hard working people. Here come the team to bring them down, and correct any injustice they get to know.

   The Robin Hood team consists of five people - Nathan Ford a former insurance agency investigator, he is now the brain of the team, the mastermind, Sophie Devereaux a brilliant grifter, Eliot Spencer who is the hitter, the muscle, he also has a great knowledge of the different (ex)agents, goons and so on, Parker is the thief, a very weird, asocial character, and last but not least is our computer specialist, hacker - Alec Hardison. All of them is supposedly the best in their area, before they worked together they were loners (as most criminals anyways), and in the beginning they will have trouble working in a team, but soon they become the best as a team as well.
   The series looks like "The A-team" meets "Mission Impossible" meets "Ocean's 11", it is brilliant. We have fast-paced action, robberies, cons, hi-tech stuff, almost no drama in the main plot (as its near non-existent), great acting by everyone and awesome development of characters, I especially like our mastermind, who has a ton of problems and personal issues as well which at times fuel his fury. There is also a touch of comedy, fun, in almost every episode. Well this is it people, another show worth giving it a shot. Peace, I'm out.

Alec Hardison: How did you know?
Eliot Spencer: You have a tell.
Alec Hardison: I have a tell? In Rock-Paper-Scissors, I have a tell?
