TV Addict Review - Leverage
Many shows are on hiatus already - (Supernatural boo hoo) but I have found a new show to love after one episode.
Leverage premiered on Sunday. The cast is awesome - Tim Hutton and Chris Kane. Chris Kane with long hair and glasses - OMG. As for the show itself, fantastic. Entertainment Weekly said it was better than the last two Ocean's movies and they were right.
The way the crew comes together under Tim Hutton makes perfect sense. He's the good guy riding herd on a group of grifters and thieves. I already love the dynamic between the crew. They don't trust each other but they trust Nate (Tim's character). The con is fantastic - very twisty and surprising - even though you know the crew is going to win.
Gina Bellman plays Sophie the 'face' of the group. I adored her in the UK series Coupling and was excited to see her here. And of course Chris Kane - I loved him as Lindsey on Angel and I'm happy to have him back weekly on my TV. He's the muscle of the group so he gets to do a lot of fighting. The scene where he takes out four security guards before Hardison's bag hits the ground is brilliant. Looking forward to more of that. His sniping with Aldis Hodge who plays Hardison is hilarious. All in all a great first episode - I hope they can keep it up because I'm already in love with this show. I even have my first Elliot icon.
