I've seen TNT promote Leverage with that title so much I'm starting to believe that's the show's actual full name. I've been watching this show since it began in early December and although I admit I am a sucker for a heist show, I think this one's pretty good. The show involves a group of thieves (led by Timothy Hutton, the lone honest man) who pull cons to enact revenge for injustices - the Robin Hood and Merry Men of grifters if you will. Last week's episode involving Serbian orphans was a bit too dark but generally the shows have been zippy and fun. There are quite a few funny running gags - my particular favorites are the tough guy Elliot's flashbacks to things from his past and the computer whiz Alec's interaction with just about anyone else in the gang - see the following examples:
The show is in the middle of the season - Tuesday nights, 10pm on TNT - and the episodes which have aired are already on-line so if you're looking to pick up a fun, new show I would definitely recommend tuning in.
