    I've seen some of the ratings and they fall so short. For one, this show was based on a unique premise. The word "unique" is rare in TV show ratings. The characters were (are because I'm still watching it over and over again) so lovable, silly, fun, Poignant and smart. Great acting. Great writing. Great direction. Great stories. I don't care that there were some "wait-a-minute" moments, watching this show made me feel good. That's something so lacking in today's entertainment world. I just don't get ratings. Smart is definitely not the goal. The goal is to play to the lowest common denominator of the human race. I'm so saddened that this show was not extended. To all the characters of this show, "you deserved better"

    Without a doubt, one of best TV series ever made. The cast was fantastic, Each week brought a total different story and at times a story within a story. Never really understood why it was cancelled but All of Christian Kane fans (Kaniacs) and fans of the others would love to see this turned into a movie, or as many shows are doing, Make a comeback, with the same cast.There's still plenty of bad guys out there to Leverage

    I have to say I only decided to check this series out because I was running out of shows to watch. Didn't really pay attention to the premise, yet it had good reviews so I thought, why not? I don't regret any moment of watching it, although in my case it took me a bit to love it. Can't get enough of it. I like this way more than Ocean's 11, mainly because part of their goal has a background full of values. I like how they show that criminals are pretty much just like ordinary people. Everyone has a reason not to follow the conventional ways. These thieves don't wanna settle for less and enjoy a good challenge, and at the same time they aren't entirely selfish... I see this people as heroes, as much as they might seem far-fetched, and that's what's keeps me entertained and addicted to it. I also crave good plots and interesting and complex character layouts, which "Leverage" delivers top-notch. They can be lovable and admirable.That sums up why I like the show... If you think it might appeal to you as well, you loose nothing by watching it. Good riddance!

    This show was what I turned to when I couldn't get any more 'Breaking In' and thought it would be a slightly more serious version of the show. It is more serious but definitely has its comic moments. I would (and do) recommend this to anyone who asks for a show that is fun, light-hearted and perfect for when you want to watch something without having to concentrate too much (After work/school and when sick…).The very first episode was kind of Bleh!, in that the fight scenes were too good to be relatable and some of the camera angles (And other directing decisions but I already had the whole first season and found that after the pilot episode it picked up. Of course this is to be expected as the pilot is a base and shows pick up and focus on their flaws and such for episode 2 onwards. If you are wanting to watch this, give it at least to episode 4 or so before making your judgement call.All in all, I love it!
