The Unusuals, Leverage (mild spoilers)

The Unusuals was a sadly short-lived quirky cop drama/comedy that I really wish had hung around for longer. Rewatching the first couple of shows right now and shaking my fist at what should have been a fun few seasons.

Last night's Leverage was mostly a lot of fun, but they always lose me when they do the slow-mo over the top stuff. One time it was Eliot sliding on his knees through gunshots and explosions while he wielded two guns, John Woo style, and tonight it was a slow-mo explosion with slow-mo screaming of Nate's name and Hardison holding the wimmen back while Eliot tended to Nate's bleeding face. I'm sure the Eliot/Nate shippers will be all over it, but when you're shooting for drama and wind up with me giggling about how overwrought it all is, you may want to dial it back a few.
