Anyone here watches this series? It airs on Wednesdays on TNT. Currently it's on its second season, and it really is a ton of fun. Great characters (expect one) and some really cool actors to portray the parts (expect one).
It stars Timothy Hutton who has a long list of credits, his previous tv show was
Kidnapped if anyone remembers that. You then have Christian Kane who you might remember from his
Angel years. Then there's Aldis Hodge who some might recognize him from a
Supernatural arc and
Friday Night Lights. That rounds up the guys.
As for the chicks, you have Gina Bellman who completely sucks. And last but not least, the actress who I think is the best thing this show has produced Beth Riesgraf. She's completely awesome and I'd say pretty much a recent talent.
As for the show:
TNT set Tuesday nights on fire this past winter with the first season of this thrilling, fast-paced drama series starring Oscar® winner Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People). This summer, the gang is back with more elaborate scams designed to exact revenge against those who use power and wealth to victimize people. Hutton stars as Nate Ford, a former insurance investigator determined to bring down the kind of corrupt bigwigs whose neglect led to the death of his son. His highly skilled team includes Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman – Coupling), a grifter who uses her acting skills to corner her marks; Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane – TNT’s Into the West), a “retrieval specialist” with bone-crunching fighting skills; Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge – Friday Night Lights), a gadget and technology wizard who keeps the team connected and informed; and Parker (Beth Riesgraf – Alvin and the Chipmunks), a slightly off-center thief adept at repelling off buildings or squeezing into tight places. Together, the team puts their energy, quick minds and keen intellects toward securing justice for society’s underdogs.
LEVERAGE, which is executive-produced by Dean Devlin (Independence Day, TNT’s The Librarian movies), has scored big in its first season, ranking as ad-supported cable’s #1 show in its timeslot.

So, anyone into this? I also heard it's already picked up for a 3rd season.
