Leverage

Recently I started watching Leverage season 1. I've just seen three episodes so far and I'm enjoying it a lot - each episode is sort of like a fun popcorn heist movie (like The Italian Job and the Ocean's movies) only shorter (which is good for me because my attention span is not great). My favorite characters are Hardison and Sophie but I really like the whole team, the teamwork and the banter and the cleverness. I especially like it when they do accents. :)

Netflix has it streaming online, so if you have a subscription with them you can watch it any time. I think there's also a way of hooking that up to your TV screen, if watching on the computer doesn't do it for you. ETA: For some reason though Netflix has the episodes out of order, so I've been going by this list instead. You can also watch at least some episodes at tnt.tv.

The episodes aired out of order, so Netflix might have them in the order they aired rather than the order they were supposed to be aired.

Thanks, I'd wondered if it was something like that.

Leverage is fun, though I find spacing them out makes them feel more special. For a change, I think the US version is better than the UK show Hustle. Not so much for the plots as for the characterization and way they reference the meta knowledge.

See, I didn't even realize it was a remake of Hustle, I've just been hearing the names of both shows for a couple months and when I realized I could watch this one for free I decided to check it out. I'm happy! And that's a good tip about spacing them out. I watched two tonight/last night (IT'S EARLY MORNING AND I'VE BARELY SLEPT THIS SUCKS) and the heartwarmingness got a little annoying in the second.
