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 an 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 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.

What do you think? Do you like the Leverage TV series? Are you glad that it’s being revived on IMDb TV?
I am missing LEVERAGE already, please put it back on. I NEVER get tired of it. Also, how about adding The Unit series, as well?
Please bring back leverage on ion television for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the show and save it to view when I get home. I bing watch them each weekend.
What is the significance of the painting that is often seen in many episodes?
Leverage was one of the best shows I don’t understand why the entertainment industry keeps shows on that aren’t any good but cancels awesome shows like Leverage. People making decisions on what is aired obviously isn’t in tune with the everyday real people
Leverage has some of the most unique characters on television. Until this day, there has not been another character on television like Parker. It show have been renewed and not rebooted.
Bring it back.Very entertaining.
Leverage is a very entertaining show from start to finish and I think each actor on the show is perfect for the part they are performing. They are what makes the show so great. Leverage should not have been canceled but should have been renewed.
I know how you feel. Maybe it was to complicated for the common mind
My husband and I really enjoyed this show. So disappointed it didn’t last longer. We loved the intricate situations they had to work out. And also how they interacted with one another.
Leverage should’be been renewed i’m A big fan and would love to see old and new episodes
Wonder what all those talented people are doing
Bring back leverage. Very good series. Missing show. Whomever decided to cancel was an idoit. Busy lives struggling survive his economy. However if missed shows we have the option to watch on hulu. Pray the show back on. Janet W. S.C.
This was one of the BEST shows on T.V. With all the filth and graphic violence and sex, this was the only show we enjoyed most as a family. Absolute best writers in Hollywood. The actors were spectacular and all had unique qualities. I am deeply saddened that this show did not get renewed. Hope it comes back!
Leverage should come back. Leverage was my favorite show and I’m positive that others feel the same way. I would love to see a season 6 and I’m just hoping someone buys the rights to the show!!!
Leverage should have never been canceled, this was the best show on TV.
This show should have been renewed. Loved Leverage.
At least we can watch reruns now. Some networks are running it.
