The Office Job

Not the typical Leverage episode. The Mocumentary Style nod to "The Office" created a completely different feel than normal. The quirky, dry humor change of pace made this the most unique Leverage episode so far. It steps outside the comfort zone of the show's formula, offering fans a new and delightful way to engage with the characters. It's clear that the writers wanted to have fun with this one, and their creativity pays off. It's not just a fun nod to The Office, but a successful experiment in style that highlights the flexibility of the show's format. The dry, quirky humor and break from the norm make this episode stand out, and I highly recommend fans of both Leverage and offbeat comedies give it another look. This is an episode that, while different, deserves far more credit than it's been given. Definitely a gem.

In my opinion, this was the worst Leverage episode in the series. The jerky camera work, the stupid comments and the forced bad humor make this a very cringe-worthy episode. As much as I love Leverage, I hated this episode and fast forwarded through a lot of it. I don't think that stupid is funny or entertaining. And I certainly did not find this episode amusing or entertaining.

The petty infighting between team members was just dumb. It was more befitting 4th grade students than adult co-workers.

Other reviewers compared it to "The Office." I never watched that show and now I realize why not.

This episode is a parody of "The Office," hence the shaking-screen documentary style filming, which I personally dislike (hurts my eyes mostly). But this is all forgivable because the comedy and further development in each characters more than make-up for it.

The trademark "interview" shots (parody from The Office, where individual characters are interviewed privately) contained the funniest moments where Nate and Sophie's relationship and its problems were poked at The team also has hilarious moments trying to ditch the quite "determined" filming crew, especially Parker.

As for Eliot and Hardison, their usual playful antagonism hits the core of their relationship and trust in this episode, which gave more depth to their camaraderie in the end.

If you like Leverage for its comedic factors, you will certainly enjoy this episode.
