Good Enough
PennyReviews3 February 2020
" Leverage " was a pretty interesting drama.

The con artists story was entertaining and made right this time, as it was not tiring and never got boring. However, the final con was so so, not as good as the rest. But the team was good, with nice chemistry and interesting characters. Especially the ladies, were really good! Plus, the romance was subtle and was just there to add some light, funny moments so it didn't overshadow or took over the plot, as that would have been boring. The performances were really good too.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Leverage Below Average

I felt like I was watching an independent movie made by a first time director, starring recent graduate actors.

How can they take a procedural show and turn it into some sad soapy affair.

The first episode started well with the museum heist. Introducing the two thieves. Then the insurance investigator arrives, and we're introduced to his brilliance.

Good so far.

Then we're introduced to his family life.

Fine.

Then the show stays on this guy's family life.

Still...fine, I think?

Then something happens. Excitement is imminent!

That excitement turns into frustration. The second heist is poorly staged. Very low budget. The double-cross is poorly written. Very underwhelming.

Then the episode ends.

I thought 'let me give this show another chance'.

Episode two kept the tradition of episode one. Sad and soapy. Bad acting, underwhelming heist etc.
