OK. I'm in.

sffan had left copies of the first four episodes of Leverage, and since today was a down day for me, I decided to give them a look-see.

Love. Love, love, love. Now I'm all verklempt that the rest of the season is rolling on without me. This is the perfect role for Timothy Hutton. He's aged well (hell, he's still younger than I am), and it's great to see him playing something other than earnest, angsty youths. And Christian Kane is wonderful as this character. Lindsey was a fun role, but I like him even better as Eliot. I didn't like Parker or Sophie at first, but before the first episode was done they'd won me over. And then there's Hardison :) Adore him! I can't tell from the titles which actor plays whom (outside of Hutton and Kane), but they're all perfectly cast and acted. The scripts are pretty enjoyable and not too far-fetched considering just how overboard they could go with the plot lines. I'm usually not a big fan of caper/conmen shows, but this just has so much wit and good spirit about it that I find it irresistible.

So you guys win. I'm a convert. A sad, Leverage-less convert.

Yay, Leverage! I haven't seen those first handful of eps, but Q said she'd send them my way. I have seen the last couple because my parents have cable and I talked them into dvr'ing it. And they love it too! Makes me happpppy.
