Leverage Season 1 Episode 13 (S01E13)


The season finale (S01E13) was together with the last episode a great ending to an awesome season. "The David Job" was a true roller coaster ride. Thinking one moment that they never can pull off the job to thinking well maybe they have a chance. Seeing how Nate told them he is going to rob the gallery and the higher security I thought they are not going to be able to steal anything but of course it was as in every episode they used it against the others. They truly make people do what they want them to do without the people knowing that is what is happening. And between us that is kind of what I do to my parents.

"The Second David Job" episode info from tnt:

Nate comes out of hiding to directly challenge Sterling and Blackpoole. This time, he’s going to steal both David statuettes right out from under their noses. But Nate’s bigger challenge is to get his fractured team to work together again. The stakes have never been higher. Either Nate gets his vengeance, or his friends go to jail for the rest of their lives.


I really like this show and I was very happy to read on the tnt homepage that Leverage is going to be back this summer! tnt has order 15 new episodes so 2 more than the first season, that sounds like heaven! Finally a good show that doesn't get canceled after or during the first season.

Leverage Season 1 Episode 11 (S01E11)


"The Juror #6 Job" was a the first episode that didn't have anything to do with Nate drinking and I am truly thankful for that. The last couple episode were partial boring because of how they were riding on that subject! But finally a refreshing leverage episode that was interesting and had lots of Parker (Beth Riesgraf) in it.

On of the aliases that Alec created for Parker is the one of Alice White a accountant which is now called in for jury duty. At the trial Parker find that there is something not going right and tries to get the Leverage team to help.

It was so funny to see Parker interact with the other people on the jury. Especially the old woman that showed her the photos of her grandchildren and Parker said that one is cute but whats wrong with that one? Hilarious, I just loved every single moment of it.

Just 2 episodes left in this season. I really hope we can look forward to a second season!

The next episode "The First David Job" airs Tuesday (Feb. 17th) 10/9c on TNT! You can see a sneak peak below.

Leverage Season 1 Episode 10 (S01E10)


Another episode filled with the none fitting and boring alcohol usage of Nate! The whole thing just doesn't fit in the show. It kind of felt like they ran out of ideas or their main writer was on vacation because this was the most boring episode ever! Where are the funny bits? The endless ideas they come up with? The situation they have to get out off in seconds? Please let the next episode be better again! This one is not even worthy of being talked about! The only good part was the end where they get Hurley out of the car before they blow it up! That was the Leverage I want to see and love! There where funny bits here and there but not as many as usual.

Episode info of next weeks episode "The Juror #6 Job" from the TNT website:

When Parker attends jury duty in order to keep up the legitimacy of one of her aliases, she notices some strange things at the trial. It seems someone is trying to buy a favorable verdict, but not if the Leverage team can steal it first.


The next episode "The Juror #6 Job" airs Tuesday (Feb. 10th) 10/9c on TNT! You can see a sneak peak below.

Leverage Season 1 Episode 9 (S01E09)


Their German was awesome, I wonder how long it took them to learn that! This was definitely my favorite episode so far! Parker hanging off the ski lift was hilarious. Nate drinking all the time doesn't really fit in the show. It takes away from the strong show it is of this power team and turns it into an average show that you can watch anywhere else. I really hope they don't continue with that, or do they plan on that being part of a cliff hanger between seasons? Something like the team walks out of him because of his drinking and next season he is all sobered up trying to get everyone together believing and trusting in him again? That would just be lame and I am sure they can do better!

The Leverage teams takes on a job for family which has lost their house to their contractor through a scam that he pulled. After starting the job they find out that the family wasn't the only one and that they have done the same thing to 400 families. So Nate decides to not only help the one but help all of them. Now they have to come up with a new strategy and they do. Instead of just taking $500,000 from them they want to take their company. They play the contractors family (who run the business together) against each other, take their company, help the police arrest the contractor and evict them from their own house just to give it to the clients that they started out the job with.

The next episode "The 12-Step Job" airs Tuesday 10/9c on TNT!

Leverage Season 1 Episode 8 (S01E08)


I really would not want to be on that flight, even though I have to admit Parker looked quite hot in that stewardess outfit! The "The Mile High Job" could not have had more action in it. I think they used every square inch of that plane. Looking through all the carry ons and nobody saying something and Parker dealing with the passengers was quite funny.

About the episode from tnt:

The Leverage team attempts to expose a conglomerate’s cover-up of their toxic fertilizer, which has resulted in the death of a young girl. But the CEO has put all of the damning evidence on a plane to the Cayman Islands. The team races to catch the flight but, once airborne, they discover that the CEO’s intentions are far more sinister and that to avenge one life they’ll have to save their own.

I thought the landing of the plane on that road was quite unrealistic and nothing I would have expected from this show. I think they should have done something else with that scene. But I guess we have to take that part of this episode as it is. It was good anyways, I really don't think there could be a bad episode of this show.

The next episode "The Snow Job" airs Tuesday 10/9c on TNT!

Leverage Season 1 Episode 7 (S01E07)


The FBI still uses tapes for their surveillance? I wouldn't even be surprised if that would be true! The Leverage team is trying in "The wedding job" to get into a mob bosses house who didn't follow through on his word. 5 years ago the mob boss Nicky Mosconi shot someone in Rick Palermo's restaurant. Telling him to take the blame and to say it was self defense. For that he promised to take care of Rick's wife and child which he didn't follow through with. Rick got sent to prison for 15 years. Theresa (Rick's wife) turns to the Leverage team for help.

The team has to break into the mobsters house which has a very sophisticated security system that normally is used for the Israeli military. The FBI already has a surveillance team in place and that's the way they want to get into the place. So what better then the wedding of Nicky Mosconi's daughter? As wedding planner they make their way into the house and from there they just do their usual thing. A little cooking, a little fighting and little flirting between Parker (Beth Riesgraf) and Alec (Aldis Hodge). In the end the mobsters cash ends up in the car of his newlywed daughter and Theresa gets the restaurant back. On top of that through the surveillance of the Leverage team the FBI had enough proof to arrest Nicky Mosconi for the murder 5 years ago and Rock Palermo is soon to be reunited with his wife and child.

Another great episode of one of the best shows on lately. I wonder if Parker and Alec are going to be a couple or if Sophie and Nate end up together first?

Leverage Season 1 Episode 6 (S01E06)


The trick with exchanging the real guns with movie guns was awesome I truly thought this time someone would get hurt as they stopped the bus while the bad guys where chasing them with guns! What you missed this episode? Well what are you waiting for click on the photo and watch it right now. This is absolutely my #1 show right now. And I know I keep repeating myself by comparing it with Smith but it is way better than Smith. I love the humor of this show and how they always (at least so far) got out of every situation they were in.

Sophie acting is quite hilarious. How did Nathan know she could act when it is an act? Well I guess because she is perfect in the role as an criminal. And since she mastered that art and they were working to rescue the boy she gave her best performance ever, sadly without it being on tape.

I truly can not say anything bad about this show. Through and through it is perfect and I hope there will be more seasons. This is a show I can not get enough of.

The next Episode of Leverage airs Tuesday (Jan. 13th) 10/9c on TNT!

Leverage Season 1 Episode 5 (S01E05)


Doesn't the show remind just a little bit of Smith? I loved the show but just like every other show it got canceled. Well watching the first episode of Leverage reminded me straight away of Smith. The only difference I think is that Leverage is not as dry and upscale then Smith. Leverage comes with funny scenes and more down to earth characters. I think the characters in leverage are way more interesting as the ones from Smith ever where. I must say I think Ray Liotta made Smith interesting and watchable here every single one brings something to the table! One of the best things about the show is just when you think they get caught they get out and go their way. Perfect! I hope this one runs for a long time!!!!!

This Episode details from TNT:

Nathan walks into Imperial Valley Bank in Juan, California, a desert town, with Judge Roy, a corrupt, egocentric, and completely inappropriate man. The judge hands Nathan a briefcase full of thousands of dollars after what seems like a very long courtship. Nathan has been running a con on him for two weeks—Roy thinks they’ve set up a money laundering scam, but Nathan intends to bankrupt him. To help him, Sophie has been playing the part of a banker. Across the street in a sweltering van, Hardison complains about agreeing to do a “rip deal.” He thinks they take too long, especially when it has to take place in a town hotter than hell in the middle of nowhere. Parker, who likes Juan, calmly explains that it takes a long time to convince the mark that he’s getting deal so that they can then rip him off. She lights what looks to be pages from a ledger on fire. When Hardison places a call to Eliot to confirm that he’s shutdown all of their fake addresses and p.o. boxes, it becomes clear that they’re all destroying evidence of ever having worked in Juan. They think that they’ll soon be free to leave Juan with Roy penniless…



So far I must say this one was my favorite episode so far. Make sure to watch the next episode!

The next Episode of Leverage airs on Jan. 6th 10/9c on TNT!
