Leverage: Why I love it so

Just mainlined a bunch of Leverage episodes, including a couple I hadn't seen before plus the season finale. I have so much mad love for this show, not surprising since I adore caper and heist movies. It's like a mini-Ocean's 11 every week, except I love this team so much more. It does great at snappy patter and a quick, lively pace, but it's not too bad with darker, more moody moments as well - mostly because they know not to dwell on them too long and just let them shade in some of the characters without making a big deal that it's happening.

There's just been so much good television getting made recently - shows that make me giddy with delight. Although I've lost Pushing Daisies, and I'm sure Life is on the bubble as well. But with Leverage, there is even more to be gleeful about since I know it's secure for a second season, at least. The season finale was fabooo, too.

I clearly need an icon.
