Oooh, your analysis of the formula — which I think is accurate — just made me realize that this first episode (which I’ve already seen) does shake that up a little in a way that incorporates Ryan’s role differently. Neat. I don’t want to spoil anything though.

I would have to say that, much as I love seeing Aldis work, Christian’s character is my favorite.

I love Leverage too. It’s one of the few TV shows for which I eagerly anticipate new episodes. Yes, it is a very formulaic show–there’s a bad guy, the crew tries to con him / her, things don’t go as expected, in the end, Nate either was two steps ahead of the bad guy or was so smart he made something up on the fly that worked.

What separates this from so many other formula shows on TV, for me, is the combination of smart writing–it’s both funny and riveting–and the casting–everyone is spot on perfect for their roles. I think Beth Reisgraf is my favorite, but occasionally Christian Kane drops a line that leaves my rolling. They are all great though. I’m interested to see what Jeri Ryan brings to the table.

I love Chuck a little more, just because he seems like someone I could know, while the Leverage crew are totally fictional types (except maybe for Aldis’ character). But yes, both are great fun to watch! I hadn’t thought about those similarities before.

Oh yeah! I love Leverage about as much as I love Chuck! which is quite a lot. ^_^
