Leverage: Redemption

I watched the first two episodes Thursday and they reminded me of the original series. I did not miss Nate at all.

The way they explained Nate's absence is one of the most logical and expected ways to handle it. Gina Bellman delivered a great performance.

Friday morning, I started the third episode. I love that the creators showed how important Hardison really was and still is. The team always took him for granted. In today's world, a lot of the new age tech people don't give credit to the older geeks. Big ups to Dean Devlin and team.

Alec will always be my favorite and I will miss him from the other episodes. However, I will continue watching Leverage: Redemption and am looking forward to the remaining episodes. Hopefully, Hardison will be able to join for the second half of the season.

Congrats to cast, crew and everyone who is responsible for bringing Leverage: Redemption to us!

The only problem I have is Aleyse Shannon AKA Breanna her role just sucks I hate the fact she acts like she knows it all and she the Original Crew I really hate her role she acts like you can't teach her nothing always has this im better then Aldis Hodge AKA Hardison attitude they should have made her role like they did Noah Wyle AKA Harry like the crew teaching them it would have been better but I still watch it cause I love leverage just sometimes wish they would just cancel her or make her shut up. I'm mean maybe next season if they have one maybe be more leaning and less smart ass. FYI LOV IT.

Not sure if the bad reviews are from people who actually even watched the original because they seem to complain about the content and how silly it is. The show was ALWAYS silly. That was part of the fun. The other group are the people who complain about the lack of Nate Ford and hate the new characters. The reasons Timothy Hutton left the show are the reasons he left the show and he more then likely isn't coming back even though they have been settled. The show gave Nate Ford a happy ending and it works for the show and bringing him back will cast a needless darkness on a light hearted show. And yes the show bends toward a certain direction that won't appeal to everyone. The crew are not going to take the side of a rich businessman trying to force his employees off the picket line. They just aren't. If that is who you root for then this isn't the show for you. But it is a fun light hearted heist show that doesn't take itself too seriously and is fun to watch.

Love that the team are back together and seeing how their characters have developed is a joy.

I was hooked from the start of the original series. Although I admit it was Eliot that made me want to watch again!

All the characters brings their own unique story and talent to each episode.

Seeing Parker do her "thing" was refreshing and the fact that she realised she still needed the back up of the team, but was able to explore her feelings and make peace with them was inspired.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of the characters back stories in season 4.

Briana's and Hardison's including Nana!

I've just finished the last episode of season 3 so it's back to season1 episode 1 for me .

Leverage: Redemption is the reboot of Leverage and has the entire original cast back with the exception of Timothy Hutton (because of his legal problems), they replaced him with Noah Wyle who steps in and does a fantastic job. All the heists are exactly as the original but the characters have all since grew and evolved since we last saw them. This is just a flat out fun show to watch if you can just turn your brain off because some of it is ridiculous but in a good way. As long as you don't think too deeply about what you're watching then I promise you'll have a good time watching it. If you're a fan of the original Leverage then this show is absolutely for you.
