Leverage - Season 2

While I enjoyed series one of Leverage, it did seem very much a poor relation to Burn Notice when it came to character based, family action comedy series. However with the second series it is really hitting the mark.Admittedly not much actually happens, you get a new grifter, Jeri Ryan - seven of nine from Star Trek - Voyageur, Gina Bellman is pregnant in real life, but not in the script, so some ingenious shooting. Some interesting cameos and recurring characters, but it is pretty much business as usual. The gang set up cons to get back at the bad guys. The cons invariably seem to go wrong part way through, but come right in the end. The whole thing is soufflé light, and not to be taken seriously.The real strength of the series is the interplay between the characters, they are clearly having a huge amount of fun, and it is infectious.Personally I felt that every episode was good to great, with not a dud episode out of the 15. There are a few extras, a gag real and some interviews with the writers and directors. If you want something for family viewing that is entertaining and amusing, then this come highly recommended.

This show is a modern mix of all the great hustle shows of the past. Think of the TV Mission Impossible (though in this case the hustlers work for the common man not the government), The A Team, a little of Man from Uncle. Season one was a great opening showcase for the programme & in season two we start to learn a little bit more about the individual characters. The FX's are bigger & better than ever.

very entertaining programme, shame the US cancelled it :(

Enjoyed this second series as much as the firstGood for a smile and unbelievable story lines that you can't help but laugh atGood for time out of life

Bought all five seasons. Thoroughly enjoy watching this show

great series
