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?
One of the few well written and entertaining series in prime time bites the dust….not a reality show, just plain fun. What a shame.
i really hope that leverage will get picked up by a station it is one of the best shows i have ever watched,
Once again a really good show has been canncelled. I hope another network will pick it up with new episodes.

One of the best shows on TV has again been cancelled. I would LOVE to have another network pick up new episodes. So many the 2013 new shows already out are uninteresting and frankly boring. Lately it seems all the really good shows are being cancelled by major networks leaving only the non majors with worthwhile shows.
I miss leverage ughhh ….
Why was the best drama on TV cancelled? TNT made a big mistake cancelling Leverage!
You take away an hour of escapism, laughter and a great acting ensemble that were likeable and lovable? I really don’t understand how quality is taken away and garbage stays on.
If ratings were the issue why didn’t TNT do more to promote it?
I hated knowing Leverage was ending. It was one of the best show on tv. They always take the good ones away. DRATS
Please bring back Leverage, the cast were great and made you believe in them.
I looked forward to seeing this show every week, and I knew if I had somethng to do
I could see it on Demand. Please bring it back, I am sure the cast would love to be
back also
I was really sad to see this show end. It was unexpected!!! A good show, lots of fun to watch, great actors and character. TNT did not make the right call on this one.
YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING…..That show was awesome, well written, funny and I LOVED IT! Bring it back….PLEASE!
I was so disappointed to see leverage off the air. One of my favorite shows.
Leverage should have been renewed, not end randomly.
It should be renewed. It is a great show and different from all of the other crime drama.
This was the best drama on television, it should never have been cancelled. The storylines never got old, the characters and their relationships with each other were perfect, and the cast couldn’t have been any better.
