TV show description:
Nathan Ford (Timothy Hutton) was once a loyal fraud investigator for IYS Insurance. His point of view changed when the insurance company refused to pay for experimental treatment that could have saved his young son. Because of his intricate knowledge of scams, Nathan’s recruited by Victor Dubenich to join a team of talented criminals to “steal back” aeronautical plans that were supposedly stolen by a competitor.

When the job is completed, Dubenich tries to double-cross the team and unsuccessfully tries to blow them up. The group decides to run a con on their former employer and Dubenich ends up ruined and arrested by the FBI. When the the team is done, they form Leverage Consulting & Associates and start to help everyday people who’ve been ripped off by corrupt corporations and government agencies.

Among Nathan’s colleagues is Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman), a con-woman who uses her acting skills for art thievery. Ironically, though she’s very successful as an actress for the team’s scams, she has little success as a legitimate performer.

Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane) is a highly-skilled martial artist who is also a weapons and retrieval expert. He shows great proficiency with guns, yet despises them.

Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge) is a computer hacker extraordinaire and a gadget guru. A self-proclaimed geek, he also has a penchant for science fiction. Parker (Beth Riesgraf) doesn’t have a known first name, and is a thief, cat burglar, and explosives expert. She also has an unnatural love of money, and a soft spot for Alec and children. She and Alec share the common bond of both being raised by foster parents.

I am so disappointed in the cancellation of Leverage! I would love to know the reasoning behind this!? TNT will no longer have my support NOR attention….not sure which dim whit made this decision…but he/she should be cancelled as well….I loved the story line, the actors…if you replace it with some ridiculous reality show…it’s your grave! Of course I won’t know since I WILL NOT BE WATCHING TNT! Please reconsider this foolish decision. PLEASE bring this amazing show back!!!!

I feel that the the decision to cancel Leverage was one of the worst choices made by any network. The cast was great and showed a wide range of acting ability whether serious or comedic. The stories were way above the average shows and I think that TNT should rethink their decision. Timothy H. and Gina B. could return as sort of a Nick and Nora couple. I am beginning to wonder about these so-called tv exes who can’t tell talent when they see it.

RENEW the show! It has outstanding actors/actresses as well as story lines. This show does not deserve the ax!

Are you crazy? You actually had a show that worked!!!! I enjoy. It actually had plots and the writers actually put some thought into their storyline. You want to keep dumb shows that are non-relatable. Get rid of that show about aliens inhabiting the earth….. and only a few humans survive and save the world. The show’s been done by Startrek. I enjoyed TNT because it has the courage to have good shows on!!!

This is a good sitcom and enjoyed by many. It should have not been cancelled as there are many shows that should be cancelled.

This is crap TNT should not have dropped this show, ” so they can bring new ones ”
There is more to explore in the scripted stories in the characters, relationships, backstories,
More cons. Dean Devlin should make 3 hour movie for the final mark on the leverage franchise.
