Wednesday, July 15, 2009: Leverage

The Justice League is back! Tough Guy! Thief Girl! Con Lady! Hacker Dude! Mastermind! On their own, they're forces to be reckoned with, but together they're pretty much unstoppable. And by "unstoppable," I of course mean that they will not stop robbing you, conning you or incriminating you... provided you are a rich, powerful douchebag who has it coming. Basically, they'll do whatever they have to do to steal from the rich and give to the poor, even when they have to change their plans drastically halfway though the con, which seems to happen every episode. You may call it formulaic, but I call it reliable.

I came in to this show on the strength of two actors -- Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton and Angel co-star Christian Kane -- but I now would follow pretty much any of the five team members to whatever show they joined. But hopefully, this is only the second in a long progression of seasons for this show, which is fast becoming one of my favorites. The season premiere catches up with team leader Nate Ford (Hutton) after he dissolves the team, but he gets drawn into something that requires him to put the band back together, and they thankfully return with little encouragement. If you want to get on board before next week's all-shirtless-Christian Kane episode, or the upcoming Legion of Doom episode, where Wil Wheaton and Griffin Dunne are part of an anti-crew, you should probably hop on here.

Leverage airs Wednesdays at 9/8C on TNT. For more suggestions, check out our Week in Preview.

If you're not joking, this is the best news EVER. If you are, why must you tease so cruelly?

I've just caught up with the last season recently and, I agree, it's near the top of my favorites now too!

Leverage is definately one of my favorite shows. Last season Gina Bellman-or at least I think that's her last name- (Sophie) blogged at tvguide.com. This season it's Aldis Hodge (Hardison)! They normally blog once a week while the show's on the air. Gina did a real good job blogging last year and I'm sure Aldis will do a good job this season too.
