Oy!! So cheesy!

[paintedlaughter-56290 · 5/10 · 26 August 2019]

So incredibly cheesy. I loved this show 1st season, but it keeps getting worse and worse. From the Invented melodrama over nothing between Harrison and Elliot...to the codependent relationship between Sophia and Nate...to the repetitive opening scenes in which the proposed victim is always a true victim (yeah right!)...to the strange and unbelievable twists where they allow the person they are helping to work behind the scenes...and now a ridiculously unbelievable and downright CHEESY gunfight? C'mon guys! I think maybe you need to add a woman to the writing and directing team because it's definitely on the wrong path in terms of realism. The only saving grace is the acting. I enjoy the characters and give them props for their artistic efforts.

I'm with painteddaughter...the series has gone downhill & this show is ridiculous

In the beginning...Leverage was a great example of "organized chaos" (to "steal a phrase" from Rex Ryan, one of the more original defensive coordinators in the NFL). The plots were fresh and zany and...INTERESTING. Clearly, they've run out of ideas, and out of steam.

And while painteddaughter was generous to rate this show 5 stars out of 10, and called it cheesy, I'm rating it ONE star out of 10, and calling is garbage. The big "gun fight scene" was laughable, along with the never-ending unrealistic miracle "saves" that have become the staple of all of the plots. This series used to have heart, creativity, and intelligence. Now, it's little more than a human non-animated cartoon show. Meep-Meep.
