Honestly, why even bother writing this when
darkeyedwolf has already whipped up a great pimp post
which you may access here?
But maybe you prefer to read praise typed by yours truly so let's start.
Have a cheesy promo pic.
Leverage is a 13 episode long American television series about thieves who hustle evil corporations to steal back money or other things lost by regular people exploited and tricked by these companies.
That sounds awfully serious and stuff. As you might've guessed, this is awfully misleading. The show is crack and funtimes and more crack and banter and funtimes and things that go BOOM.
No screencaps because I'm lazy like that but I can promise you; Doctor Who and various other geek references, action, pairings of all varieties, sharp dialogues, clever cons and heists and improbable technology, bad foreign accents and crack.
Just check it out, I doubt you'd be disappointed. Most shows try to be edgy and gritty and full of intrigue. Leverage just tries to be fun to watch, and triumphantly succeeds.
You can stream it on
here or torrent it. Region 1 DVD should be coming out before summer, when we shall get the 2nd season (!!!).
