Leverage - Season 1 & a hint of 2

Caught the Leverage finale ("The Second David Job") last night--dynamite. I thought "The First David Job" was a smidge better, but it didn't have to wrap so many things up as the finale did (the story as well as the season), so it had heavier lifting to do.

For those who didn't watch it--grab it on DVD or when TNT inevitably reruns it (likely in a marathon) before Season 2. It's a fun caper show, with a cast that'll really grow on you. The first season had some ups and downs in quality, but as the shows progressed and the characters/behind the scenes types figured things out it really gelled in a very satisfactory way.

Season 1 would've been far less uneven (IMHO) if it had aired in the intended order. Over at Kung Fu Monkey (where Leverage writer John Rogers blogs), they have the proper order listed and some comments about TNT's choices.
