Started watching Leverage Season 1 this week. It's got a great cast with quite a few funny moments per episode. The three younger cast members: Aldis Hodge, Christian Kane & Beth Riesgraf all have fantastic chemistry.
The big appeal is that its not endlessly gritty & morally ambiguous like almost every other cable show out there. Leverage is mostly light hearted & has a simple plot: thieves team up & con companies and/or individuals who have ripped off or scammed unsuspecting innocent people. Along the way there are laughs & problems which are overcome. The good guys win & every one goes home happy. It's got a very A-Team feel to it. Lotsa times I wish real life was like this.
