"I stole the Hope diamond and put it back because I was bored", Sep 22 2009
By Tracy Vest - Published on Amazon.com
After the success of their freshman season, the gang from Leverage: The First Season are back and have relocated to Beantown to right the wrongs committed against regular people who have nowhere else to turn. They have all found that after doing good deeds, crime just isn't what it used to be. Whether it's tangling with the Irish mob, dealing with a shady boxing promoter, returning a corrupt investment banker's ill gotten gains, or ensuring that an inheritance goes to the rightful heir, all exhibit the savvy wit and quirkiness that has become the Leverage signature.Thank goodness for TNT - which produces some of the best dramas on television. With plenty of nail biting action, humor, great music soundtrack, and ripped from the headline stories, the momentum just keeps building. And the chemistry among the cast is first rate, seamlessly adding Jeri Ryan to the cast late in the season when Gina Bellman (Sophie) took a hiatus due to her pregnancy. One of my favorite scenes is in the first episode when hacker Hardison introduces himself and Parker as detectives Costigan and Costello - an homage to the outstanding film The Departed (Widescreen Edition). My only gripe? The seasons are much too short.

"Be still my heart, if my heart were in my pants", Mar 22 2010
By Daisy Primrose "Word Paramour" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This season not only boasts great one-liners from the actors and the writers, but also phenomenal guest appearances and acting that is better than it was before. They've worked out some of the finer issues that people had with the Season One set (like closed captioning in English) and the deleted scenes are sure to be a hoot if the actual aired episodes are any indication.If you're looking for plot, then this is definitely a show to watch. Each one of these episodes is a "mini-movie" (according to show writer John Rogers) but there's also the major story arcs that flesh out each con. Sure, there's the formula that the episodes follow, but the majority of the time I have to squint to see it because I get so caught up with the brilliant acting and writing. With this show, it's so easy to forget that these are actors and the characters aren't real.
They handled Gina Bellman's pregnancy flawlessly (in the first viewing of the episodes where she's pregnant, I didn't notice the baby bump) and the temporary addition of Jeri Ryan was perfect. That's not to mention the episode sporting Wil Wheaton as a hacker.

Fabulous!, Feb 13 2010
By OHTeacher - Published on Amazon.com
This is such a great show! I actually care about what happens to the characters. It is the perfect blend of suspense, action adventure, romance, and humor. If you like White Collar, you'll like this show. Think of it as Mission Impossible(the classic tv show) meets Monk, meets Ocean's Eleven.
