What do you think? Do you like the Leverage TV series? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for season six?
If Leverage Doesn’t Get Renewed I Will Boycott TNT! And I Watch A LOT On There!
Leverage, For Me Is Like The Internet Or A Cell Phone For Others!
Leverage should DEFINITELY be renewed! It is the one show I look forward to the most and the only one I watch regularly! I like other shows, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t feel as if I’ve MISSED SOMETHING if I don’t see it or if I record it and forget to watch it until several weeks later. NOT the case with LEVERAGE! I not only watch it live but I also record it and KEEP it on my DVR so I can watch it again and again! Leverage has very creative writers and an extrememly talented cast! There… Read more »

Leverage should definitely be renewed for many more seasons!! The cast and writers are absolutely amazing. I can’t imagine what TNT is even thinking by debating this.
Please renew.
With so many options in today’s world, it is rare to find a series where the fans, the actors, the crew and directors are so passionate! We chose to invest both our time and our dollars on Leverage. This series provides pleasure on so many levels – from the little trek moments that bring a smile of glee, to the emotional ranges that bring a tear. Quality like this should be rewarded.
Renew Leverage.
No question RENEW !! Leverage is a unique show with a stellar group of writers, producers, crew and cast. The show has a loyal fan base and has achieved success for 5yrs with little to no advertising support from TNT. Both fans and show has earned a sixth season.

Renew Leverage, there is nothing better out there.
What ridiculous questions! Leverage is the best show on tv! It’s nowhere near done! The plots come from today’s headlines. We never get tired of seeing our team take care of the “little guy” and take down the bad guys the law can’t seem to touch! Add to that the amazing synergy of everyone involved, from Dean Devlin, the writers, producers, an exemplary cast (Tim Hutton, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf, and Aldis Hodge) who have developed characters we’ve come to love, and all other crew associated with the show. Then there are the incredible guest stars who make… Read more »

Plain & simple…YES renew the series!

Leverage should definitely be renewed for a sixth season. The show is very entertaining & family friendly. The cast members have great chemistry and always make me smile!
Leverage should be promoted more than it has been. I’ve just found it and I love the show. Bought the discs and showed them to a friend, who loves it, too and started watching. Great show, great characters, a sense of humor, and a good heart.
