Leverage: Redemption

Leverage: Redemption is the reboot from the original. It brings the whole gang back together except Timothy Hutton with Noah Wyle, otherwise the rest of the cast is all back. The series is about some reformed criminals who put their unique skills to good use by helping regular citizens against big companies of both corporate and government that take advantage of those regular citizens. The come up with elaborate scams targeted against these greedy corrupt people and help the victims get justice. I love how at the end of each episode they do the flashbacks at everything we missed to make the plan come together and be successful. It's the same thing as the Oceans movies did. If you're looking for a fun show to waste a little time with then give Leverage: Redemption a chance.

Good to have these guys back in my life, lol. Loving it already. Noah Wyle is a nice touch. I miss Timothy Hutton, but Noah and the rest of the cast have good chemistry. Lets hope for a Season 2.

This was everything I hoped for and more. The original characters kept their appeal and stayed true to their roots, and the new additions are wonderful. Same great writing, directing, and acting. All the "jobs" were fantastic with Parker's love of vents, the costumes, and Eliot's fight scenes. I do miss Nate but Noah Wylie's character is so much fun and he never ever tries to replace Nate. I'm so glad the wait is finally over but it was definitely worth it. Thank you Dean Devlin for giving us back our hitter, hacker, grifter, and thief!!!!!

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.

I was ecstatic to see Leverage return and loved the first couple of episodes because they had the old-school feel of the earlier seasons, but after a few episodes the reboot started to feel a little tired and repetitive. I have to say, Aldis Hodge's absence makes itself known very acutely - you really realize how important his presence was for the team dynamic that made up the magic of the earlier seasons. Still definitely worth watching though!
