Leverage -- "The Homecoming Job" -- 12/9/08 on TNT

Leverage

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


The high-tech Robin Hoods square off against a military-contractor bigwig who is covering up the truth about a friendly-fire incident that wounded an Iraq War veteran.



Tonight is the regular night for this show.

The 2nd episode was just as good/funny as the 1st one. I love Hutton's team and even though it's only been 2 episodes, the cast already has some chemistry.

Aldis Hodge is great. Loved his line....."This is about my eth-ni-ticity" Just noticed that he played VooDoo on Friday Night Lights.

The other scene that cracked me up was when Christian Kane needed to get those specific phrases from that politician.

I like that it's a caper show and isn't taking itself too seriously.

Already season passed it.

Well, did anyone else watch episode 2 or is this still sitting on your DVR?

I would recommend this show if your a fan of the Ocean's 11-13 films.

Sitting on my DVR, probably won't get to it until Thursday but I'm really looking forward to it.

I liked this episode as well and will set a season pass. The cast chemistry is great and the computer guy's one-liners have me in stitches.

Finally got to this one tonight. I really enjoyed this one too, it reminds me a lot of a high-tech A-Team.

Great Show! I have been waiting for it to start since I saw the pilot in June.

I am a huge fan of "Hustle" from the UK and I expected this to follow (since it includes alot of the music from Hustle) in its footsteps. It does seem more like a high tech moden A-team though.

Favorite line from the last episode "I don't like stuff, I like money!"

Car at the end was sweet... don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, but I hope to see more of it in action in future episodes.

I agree with the "Ocean's" theme comment... that's pretty much exactly how I would summarize it...

Very good show, hope it sticks around

Recorded and Handbraked the first two eps, and watched on my blackberry on a plane trip to Florida. Already my favorite "new" show!
