    I utterly loathe this show. Everything about it but mostly the writing and the atrocious acting attributed to the bad writing. It tries to be funny, cute, and classically "cool" what with the needless explosions and with the 'little guy' prevailing it blatantly intended to give the audience a "Hell yeah!" kind of feeling. I find it wholly transparent and I won't be dragged I utterly loathe this show. Everything about it but mostly the writing and the atrocious acting attributed to the bad writing.

    Don't think Leverage is preachy--it's shrewdly conceived, and it moves along like a son of a gun.

    Leverage isn’t quite as effortlessly intoxicating--it must make do with the dependable but suave-challenged Timothy Hutton--but when it works, the TNT series has a rascally tingle.

    Aside from an easygoing quality and mild comic flair, there's not much here to steal the hearts of viewers; instead, it's another modest, lightweight addition to TNT's diner-style menu of comfort food for a weary nation.
