Leverage: Redemption

Leverage: Redemption is the reboot of Leverage and has the entire original cast back with the exception of Timothy Hutton (because of his legal problems), they replaced him with Noah Wyle who steps in and does a fantastic job. All the heists are exactly as the original but the characters have all since grew and evolved since we last saw them. This is just a flat out fun show to watch if you can just turn your brain off because some of it is ridiculous but in a good way. As long as you don't think too deeply about what you're watching then I promise you'll have a good time watching it. If you're a fan of the original Leverage then this show is absolutely for you.

Fun Fun Fun! Good story with lots of humor. We need more Robin Hood stories with happy endings! Love the cast of characters and how they interact with each other. Thank you for bringing this back in such a great way. It is as good if not better than the original.

Love this show. I want a season 4. I have enjoyed all the episodes. The actors and the characters they play are excellent. It's aways exciting to see what happens next. Have loved the addition of Breanna and Harry. Was glad to see Hurley back. Each episode stays true to the original concept and brings new ideas each time. Enjoyed seeing Tara and having Parker and Astrid work together. I hope Hardison will be able to join the crew in future episodes. Overall a great show. I look forward to each new episode. I have re-watched each season several times and will watch again. This show is a winner and needs to continue with more seasons.

I watched the first two episodes Thursday and they reminded me of the original series. I did not miss Nate at all.

The way they explained Nate's absence is one of the most logical and expected ways to handle it. Gina Bellman delivered a great performance.

Friday morning, I started the third episode. I love that the creators showed how important Hardison really was and still is. The team always took him for granted. In today's world, a lot of the new age tech people don't give credit to the older geeks. Big ups to Dean Devlin and team.

Alec will always be my favorite and I will miss him from the other episodes. However, I will continue watching Leverage: Redemption and am looking forward to the remaining episodes. Hopefully, Hardison will be able to join for the second half of the season.

Congrats to cast, crew and everyone who is responsible for bringing Leverage: Redemption to us!

Not sure if the bad reviews are from people who actually even watched the original because they seem to complain about the content and how silly it is. The show was ALWAYS silly. That was part of the fun. The other group are the people who complain about the lack of Nate Ford and hate the new characters. The reasons Timothy Hutton left the show are the reasons he left the show and he more then likely isn't coming back even though they have been settled. The show gave Nate Ford a happy ending and it works for the show and bringing him back will cast a needless darkness on a light hearted show. And yes the show bends toward a certain direction that won't appeal to everyone. The crew are not going to take the side of a rich businessman trying to force his employees off the picket line. They just aren't. If that is who you root for then this isn't the show for you. But it is a fun light hearted heist show that doesn't take itself too seriously and is fun to watch.
