Leverage: Redemption – Season One
In this new iteration, and new world, the Leverage crew have watched as the rich and powerful continue to take what they want without consequence. Grifter Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman), thief Parker (Beth Riesgraf), hitter Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane), and hacker Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge) have watched the world change over the last eight years. Since their last job, it's become easier-and sometimes legal-for the rich to become richer and the powerful to squash anyone who gets in their way. To address the changes in the world around them, the team finds new blood in Harry Wilson (Noah Wyle), a corporate lawyer who is looking for redemption after realizing he'd been sitting on the wrong side of the table for his entire career, and Breanna Casey (Aleyse Shannon), Hardison's foster sister who has a knack for computers, robotics, and getting into trouble.
Leverage returns with all 16 episodes from the first season of the clever sequel series.
Critic Reviews:
- " For fans of the original, I heartily recommend the show. It really is a return to form and I dare you to not crack a single smile as they bicker and take down bad guys. " – Claude Weaver III (Pajiba)
- " Those fans will be glad to hear that the revival, Leverage: Redemption, is better than ever. Simple and goofy, yes. But perfectly formed. " – Gavia Baker-Whitelaw (The Daily Dot)
- " The most satisfying part of the new series is the return of the nonsensically high-level skill display of each specialist on the team; the hacker, the hitter, the thief, and the grifter. " – Naomi Elias (Film School Rejects)
