[100 Things] My DVD Collection: Leverage Season 1 & Leverage Season 3

 

I could say so much about Leverage, but since most of my F-list already watch it, they know how awesome I think it is! For anyone lacking in info on this TV show, a band of con-artists are led by an honest man, and become Robin Hood type thieves, taking from the unscrupulous men (& women) of business and power, and giving to the poor and down-trodden victims.

Admittedly, I started watching for Christian Kane who plays The Hitter, Eliot Spencer, but just a couple of episodes in, I loved all the characters - Hacker, Alec Hardison; Thief, Parker; Grifter, Sophie; and Mastermind, Nate.

The first Season dealt primarily with one-shot type stories, and a vague arc involving Nate getting revenge on his ex-boss that allowed his son to die. It was a wonderful collection of episodes that literally ended with a bang - I loved it all.

Skipping over Season 2, which was quite similar to Season 1 in the way it worked, Season 3 kicked things up a notch. An over-arcing storyline had the gang taking on legendary crime lord, Damien Moreau. There was SO much drama, SO much more going on, and the members of team Leverage mattered so much more as a family now instead of just a bunch of thieves. It left me so psyched for Season 4 - I can't wait to get those DVDs too!

Hm, should I comment on this one? But what can I say...do I like this one, or maybe not? Nah, like doesn't cover it: I LOVE LEVERAGE. There, I said it. And in three days (me thinks) the S3 DVDs will FINALLY be coming my way. About time!!! Not that I haven't watched every episode like DOZENS of times...

I started watching for CK, but I stayed for many reasons...

I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT

I admit, all that I know about this show is that you love it, but this is actually enough to be sure that it's awesome :)
