From the same producer who brought us the Librarian series.

First show was Sunday night - limited commercials - like watching PBS except more fun ;D

Tim Hutton is a modern day Robin Hood along with Christian "good gosh, get a haircut" Kane (Angel's Lindsay) and others make up his team.

Regular timeslot is 10pm Tue on TNT. Hoping they repeat Sundays episode at 9pm. Check your listings.

Kind of like Burn Notice or Oceans 11.

On my TIVO liked we talked about earlier today. Will try and watch it soon. Nice to have a new show start in December.

WOW! This is a great series! I just watched the first episode and loved it. If you like caper and con type TV series with some cool style (like "Burn Notice") definitely check this new series out.

I agree RICO. Andrew and I just got done watching the first two episodes. It was excellent. We are looking forward to more!

That's a great show, and tonight's was excellent as usual. They really have done well with it.

I have really been enjoying this series. Is has a sort of 'A-Team' vibe to it which I love.

Just watched the last episode of the season. Really, really cool stuff. This show is just a lot of fun. The characters are all a bit quirky and it's a bit like an old school style TV series. Great news it will be back this summer with new episodes! Yeah!!

This will give you a good taste for it...

In case people, weren't aware, Wil Wheaton will be guesting on the 7th episode of the season.

He posted a lot about being on set.

Thanks for the heads up. I love this show too. Really enjoyed the first part of it.

Leverage seems like burn notice and robin hood with more comedy it is so awesome

Feathers · July 16, 2009, 03:24:42 AM

I read somewhere it's based on the UK series 'Hustle' but have no idea if that's true.

Any idea Dan?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was although I don't know for sure. Very simliar premise.

Never watched 'Hustle' but 'Leverage' is worth a watch for sure.
