Mr E · 27-06-2010 7:55pm

Season 3 has started well. I like the role reversal aspect of it. 2 more on tonight.

This Sunday’s Leverage finds the gang heading to Nashville to take down a corrupt record producer. Elliot is forced to play the role of a country music singer-songwriter

I cant wait the actor who plays Elliot is quite a good singer

In the summer finale of this caper series this Sunday

the team pulls a scam on a violent hedge-fund manager to get him to reveal information that could lead to the ever-elusive master criminal Damien Moreau. The ruse involves making the dupe think he's murdered Parker — but what they don't realize is this latest con may have put an assassin's bull's-eye on their target.

JP Liz V1 · 17-11-2010 11:01am

Throughout the third season of TNT's Leverage, Nate and his team have been on the heels of supervillain Damien Moreau, a ruthless financier of all things criminal. For the December 19 two-part finale, they finally come face-to-face with their nemesis, played by

Goran Visnjic.

DeWitt · 17-11-2010 11:42am

Yay! That's pretty cool casting.

calex71 · 22-12-2010 2:52am

Anyone catch the last 3 episodes ? thoroughly enjoyed

Mr E · 22-12-2010 7:29am

Yeah they were very good. Christmas special was very good (for a Christmas special!). The 2nd last one was better than the last, though. Visjnic was very good. The whole Moreau story was pretty underwhelming. He was mentioned in episode 1 of the season as being the big bad guy, then ignored until episode 15?

calex71 · 22-12-2010 11:01am

Agree there Mr. E regards the Moreau line of the plot. That needed to be a constant in the episodes but only got a look in when they went to london after one of his cronies that time or when that same lad was using a wee girl to smuggle stuff.

I though the xmas one was quite good too, though clearly it was shot in the middle of summer

Edit : Will we see more of Visjnic i wonder thats assuming there will be a season 4

Danny Glover will guest-star as a retired war veteran who “acquired a piece of art that has a little bit of a mystery story behind it. Aldis Hodge (aka Hardison) told us on Saturday at the 32nd College Television Awards. “We get involved to try to help him recover it.”
Hodge says that in a break from style for the TNT series, large sections of Glover’s episode will be narrated by his character, “so we see the majority of the story through his eyes.”
Leverage premieres the first, 10-episode stretch of its fourth season on Sunday, June 26.

Leverage star Timothy Hutton has dropped hints about the upcoming fourth season.

The actor told Assignment X that the show's team of con artists will be operating "under the radar" in future episodes.

"The team [is] in a strong place with one another [because of the] success they've had, but there's definitely an undercurrent of concern that they've been exposed because of their success," he explained. "People are out there looking for them."

He continued: "They have to watch their backs in a way they haven't had to before. They have to go a little bit underground."

Hutton explained that the increased scrutiny will cause "tension" within the ranks of the Leverage team.

"This [exposure] becomes troubling... so if anyone's doing anything that's not part of the playbook, there's some conflict between team members that we haven't quite seen before," he revealed.

"They've got wind of a real possibility that they're being monitored [in] some of the most private places. They discover that perhaps where they live or [in] the cars they drive, somebody has a window onto their every move."

Leverage producer Dean Devlin previously claimed that the fourth season will be more emotional.

Leverage returns to TNT on Sunday at 9/8c.

Mr E · 25-08-2011 1:32pm

Anyone watching this season?

It has had some really strong episodes - the grave danger one last week was really tense, and this weeks one in the Airport was very clever (and shows what a bastard Nate can be when he is pushed). Definitely one of my favourite summer shows.

Season 4 is currently airing on FX, about six or seven episodes in I think. They started into season 4 straight after season 3 was finished so maybe they'll follow on with season 5 as well.

I'd never heard of this show while it was airing, but they've got the whole thing up on Netflix now and I'm compulsively watching it all. Very fun.

Anyone know if it will be available on a streaming service here or will alternate methods be necessary?

It's going to be on IMDB TV, which is only available in the US.

Full series drops July 9th.

Agent Coulson · 15-07-2021 3:44pm

It's Leverage however it's Leverage light without two of the main cast in the show.

One not returning was flagged and the other well I should have guessed from the trailer.

Tri Oidhcheannan Eile · 15-07-2021 4:52pm

I am six of the eight episodes in, and to my immense disappointment, I'll probably leave it at that.

As said, Tim Hutton isn't involved and Aldis only guest stars for the first two episodes, so it's left to Gina (top billing) to essentially carry the whole bag.

There's just something missing. I suspect it's Hutton's absence: his character always had a darkness to him (much like Lester's character in Hustle) which gave the show a subtle edge. The writing on "Redemption" just seems twee and needlessly moralising.

Dare I say, at times it treads dangerously close to being a parody of itself and the villains are almost cartoonish in their shenanigans. Shame.

Christian and Beth are still great though 😀

Mr E · 16-07-2021 12:08pm

I still liked it. I thought it odd that Aldis Hodge was listed as a guest star for the first few episodes, but it became clear why after that. He was definitely a loss.

The show was enjoyable overall with maybe 5 strong episodes and 3 weak ones. The finale was a bit of an anti-climax. After the first two episodes, the rest were all standalone. I'd like to have seen Reed Diamond back for the finale instead - I think it would have rounded off the season a bit better.

Decent overall though - I enjoyed it.

Edit: I see there are still 5 episodes to go. I take back what I said about the finale. 🙂

Tri Oidhcheannan Eile · 16-07-2021 8:47pm

Maybe my remaining episodes are two of your strong ones? 😀 I'll maybe give them a go if I can't sleep tonight.

(I probably inadvertently ruined it for myself by binge-watching some of my fave episodes (from ten years ago) over the last few weeks.)

Tri Oidhcheannan Eile · 16-07-2021 8:59pm

https://www.wnypapers.com/news/article/featured/2021/06/25/147160/leverage-is-back-beth-riesgraf-talks-redemption

Seems there are another eight, @Mr E, at least according to Beth in the above interview.

Also, no Hutton/Ford means no delectable Kari Matchett/ex-Mrs Ford 😞

Mr E · 17-07-2021 9:51am

Ah that's good. IMDB credits the actors for 13 episodes though.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12197698/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

CastorTroy · 17-07-2021 10:08am

I enjoyed it.

Shows like this, Burn Notice, White Collar, etc weren't exactly what I would turn too for serious entertainment so was happy to have more of it.

If anything their plans seemed to work better than usual. How many episodes in the original series did they always seem to plan that their plan would go wrong? In this when it did go wrong, they came up with a new one on the fly.

Still unsure on Breanna. I liked her enough but she could be annoying. And being ready to go into the field after 1 or 2 missions seemed a bit soon. Maybe Hardison will have a bigger role in the second half, though do we need 2 hackers?

Agent Coulson · 21-08-2021 8:33pm

I wonder will Nate return from the dead.

Case has been closed against Timothy Hutton

“Timothy Hutton has officially been cleared by law enforcement of a criminal complaint filed against him,” the actor’s U.S. lawyer Joshua Rosenberg told Deadline. “The Canadian authorities scrutinized the matter and found a glaring lack of support and proof of Ms. Johnston’s claim,

CastorTroy · 21-08-2021 8:45pm

As the first comment at the bottom of the article says "Now will this get covered as much as the accusation? Hope so, but doubt it!" which usually seems to be the case.

Like this is the first I've read of it and that article is a month old.

But the damage is done. The same ones who rush to "cancel" someone aren't as quick to say they're wrong.

He lost a potential job in Leverage because of this

Forgot this was out and I'm away so it goes on the list. Getting longer.

Harry is no Nate.

Will Hardison appear in more than two episodes this time around.

CastorTroy · 29-09-2022 8:51pm

Unless it turns out his death was faked or he comes back in some kind of dream sequence, I doubt he'll be back. I'm sure there's bad blood there as well for dropping him.

Agent Coulson · 16-11-2022 10:02am

First three epsidoes of season 2 dropped this morning.
