2 Responses to “ Leverage: The Complete Second Season ”
After the success of their freshman season, the gang from Leverage: The First Season are back and have relocated to Beantown to right the wrongs committed against regular people who have nowhere else to turn. They have all found that after doing good deeds, crime just isn’t what it used to be. Whether it’s tangling with the Irish mob, dealing with a shady boxing promoter, returning a corrupt investment banker’s ill gotten gains, or ensuring that an inheritance goes to the rightful heir, all exhibit the savvy wit and quirkiness that has become the Leverage signature.
Thank goodness for TNT – which produces some of the best dramas on television. With plenty of nail biting action, humor, great music soundtrack, and ripped from the headline stories, the momentum just keeps building. And the chemistry among the cast is first rate, seamlessly adding Jeri Ryan to the cast late in the season when Gina Bellman (Sophie) took a hiatus due to her pregnancy. One of my favorite scenes is in the first episode when hacker Hardison introduces himself and Parker as detectives Costigan and Costello – an homage to the outstanding film The Departed (Widescreen Edition). My only gripe? The seasons are much too short.
This is such a great show! I actually care about what happens to the characters. It is the perfect blend of suspense, action adventure, romance, and humor. If you like White Collar, you’ll like this show. Think of it as Mission Impossible(the classic tv show) meets Monk, meets Ocean’s Eleven.
