There Will Be Leverage

Oh, it will be positively tiresome.

The LA Times Hollywood Backlot photo shoot is up. Chris Kane and Mark Sheppard fans in particular will be delighted. The shoot is from the season finale two-parter, "The First David Job" and "The Second David Job".

The Entertainment Weekly review is up, and although I appreciate the B+ grade, anyone who can watch Gina, Beth, Kane and Aldis and not chuckle (the Klingon bit, Ken, the Klingon bit!) has a little dark spot in his soul.

Mark Sheppard is a god.

Blogette said...

Mmmmm... Christian Kane.

Shallow? Yes. True? Hell yes.

P.S. I'm super excited for the show to finally premiere.

Excuse me for the off-topic post, but do you know if Leverage will be offered on the Web? I don't have cable, but this looks like a great series.

Rogers said...

I think we'll stream on TNT, and be available on iTunes and Xbox 360

TdB said...

How about a Canadian broadcast? TNT's not broadcast on many providers up here.

Richard Jensen said...

Two things:

1. Will it be posted on Hulu?

2. I haven't heard the Klingon bit but already can't imagine anyone not chuckling at it.
A proud warrior race with crinkly foreheads? That's COMEDY GOLD, PEOPLE!!!

Rogers said...

Still undecided on Hulu, I believe.

Richard Jensen said...

Wow, that was fast! For a sec, I thought I was on twitter!

Mike Cane said...

So, Ken Tucker of EW, calling the team a "C Team" and without charm -- he no longer has credit and a mortgage, right? Right?

Keep up the Leverage blogging!

Phil said...

So I'm in the UK, I'm in favour of people getting - y'know - paid for the stuff they do, but we might never get it here.

I have access to both 360 and iTunes but neither carries the same selection as their US counterparts. As ever the illicit alternatives will have global release.

Is there any way for me to watch this without screwing you guys over?

Leverage is premiering on my birthday. I'm figuring that somehow, even though I'd have said you don't know who the hell I am before this, you arranged for this as a birthday present and I appreciate it. A new Ipod would have been better, though.

Where can we find out when the episodes before Christmas are airing? Cant seem to see the listing anywhere! :)

Laci said...

I am excited to see Gina Bellman on American TV... I loved Coupling, just seasons 1-3... but I can't wait to see what kind of character she will portray. Can't wait for the premier! Thanks for all the updates.

Mike Cane said...

Phil: As I have been doing cloning of Doctor Who and now Survivors from the UK, I think for balance of payment's sake, you'd be OK. But if it airs over there, leave the TV on it so the ratings will register.

This is, you know, entirely Unofficial advice.

"I think we'll [...] be available on iTunes"

Yay! Thanks. Alternative revenue stream gonna be headed your way.

Phil;

"Is there any way for me to watch this without screwing you guys over?"

If it's not airing in the UK, and both iTunes and 360 EU don't carry it then (other than infringing copyright by creating a copy without the written permission of the copyright holder, a crime which LITERALLY causes liver failure and PTSD) how are you screwing anyone over by watching it?

Kripes, Rogers. About effin' time.
The lackluster performance of the fall lineup has finally been relieved by a cracking good bit of narrative legerdemain. Kudos to the team and fervent hopes that Leverage will sneak under the TNT series curse.
Nice work lad.

Robert N. Emerson said...

Damn good pilot, Rogers. Damn good, indeed. Although it's just my opinion, for what it's worth, I think a lot of the critics who are giving middle of the road reviews aren't getting the show, but I think the folks who suffer through crooked things will get it, in spades.

As I said in one of my blogs a bit ago, Leverage is more Equalizer than A-Team. It's smart, instead of camp. The cast is quirky, yet good at what they do, enough that the corners of my lips twitch during little bits of interplay, here and there, so it's solid.

I feel sympathy for Hutton's Ford, I connect with Hodge's Hardison, I'm curious about Kane's Spencer, not to mention Reisgraf's Parker, and Bellman's Devereaux has a comfort about her that hits the grifter with a heart vibe, it's definitely a good ensemble.

I'm really thinking that you're gonna have the right show at a good time, but only time will tell. Good luck to you and the cast, I hope you've a long, solid road ahead of you. It's a long, good way from the story hours on En World, damn glad to have been reading and watching since then, too.

Matt said...

I liked that Hutton was threatening to punch a dude in the neck by less than a minute in. Can you confirm or deny that the staggeringly large checks said "Credit Dauphine" on them?

Thank you for finally having a computer "geek" who looks and acts like he could get some play :)
