If you haven't been watching, Leverage is the tale of former insurance investigator Nate Ford (Timothy Hutton) and his merry band of criminals: Eliot (Christian Kane), the muscle, Hardison (Aldis Hodge), the tech support, Parker (Beth Riesgraf), the thief, and Sophie (Gina Bellman), the con-woman. Each week the series follows the team as they con someone, usually out of their money. But rather than using their skills to benefit themselves, the team is usually working for the little man or woman who have been hurt in some way.
I've always been a fan of movies and shows about cons, as its always a blast to try and figure out what is actually going on, and what the long con really is. Leverage is probably the best show in this genre I've seen in a long time and it never disappoints in its weekly cons. It also helps that the cast of characters assembled on screen is a riot to spend an hour with.
Currently in its 3rd season, Leverage air on Sunday nights at 9/8c. On this week's all new episode, Sophie must face her past, as the Leverage team go after a black market antiquities trafficker who takes advantage of refugee children.
