2 August 2019
Thrilling and amusing series about the cases carried out by a crew of high-tech crooks headed by Nathan Ford who try to rob from wealthy criminals and corrupt businessmen , but their professional as well as personal past repeatedly seems to catch up. The ¨Leverage¨ team are civilian specialists for missions requiring their individual skills and often encounter a specific safe, the Glenn-Reider where they join forces and get together , while planning a new masquerade .This is a sympathetic group of former top-criminals led by Nathan Ford/Timothy Hutton as leader of the expert team handling 'unorthodox' cases , they are the following ones : Gina Bellman/Sophie , Christian Kane /Eliot Spencer, Beth Riesgraf/Parker , Aldis Hodge/ Alec Hardison . They carry out their missions that often involve stinging or otherwise scamming criminals , they always get the job well done, sometimes traveling the United States o all around the world to do it . Get ready to get even. The art of the con . Sometimes Bad Guys Make the Best Good Guys

This fantastic team though is altered at times, usually execute faithfully their twisted assignments . Each week there would be a new top-secret mission to pull off , it is a successful TV series about a master team to get their dues through regular channels and legal or illegal procedures . It was well produced , including huge doses of humor , action , technological developing , thrills, twists and turns . This daredevil organization formed by qualified operatives to accomplish specific tasks during the mission-of-the-week . Instead of highly-trained agents, they are expert in a field , such as : one gregarious mastermind who can move , control and tranfer any system with a digital pulse , one peaceful but lethal ex-military retrieval specialist and an envelope-pushing brave gymnast robber . Being starred by a motley , dynamic , complex , and sympathetic bunch of prepared as well as genius expertises . As they trick their marks into handing over whatever they're after willingly. Even actual swindlers , cheaters , tricksters and con people were consultants on some episode to give more and more realism to the series . Furthermore , many of the shady business practices are based on real life events and other actual occurrences . Though some seasons were set in Boston, filming was actually done in Portland, Oregon .

Timothy Hutton as a former insurance claims investigator gives a nice acting as the main and highly skilled member who relies on his gut instinct as much as evidence . He is well accompanied by the always likeable : Gina Bellman , Christian Kane , Beth Riesgraf , Aldis Hodge . And some of them did all of his own stunts . Along with a long plethora of guest stars , such as : Mark Sheppard , Jeri Ryan , Elisabetta Canalis , Leon Rippy , Kari Matchett , Wil Wheaton ,Rick Overton ,Drew Powell , Saul Rubinek , Tony Bill, Goran Visnjic , Richard Kind , the veteran , Richard Chamberlain ,Tom Skerritt , Paul Blackthorne , Alex Carter and many others . Being competently produced by Dean Devlin and compellingly directed by known filmmakers as Marc Roskin , Jonathan Frakes , John Rogers , Jeremiah S. Chechik, Tony Bill , PJ Pesce , Rob Minkoff ,Craig R. Baxley , Rod Hardy and Dean Devlin himself . Rating : 6/10 , acceptabel , passable and decente TV series .
