I was wondering if anyone else like this show? It airs 10pm EDT on
Tuesday on TNT. It'd make a great book, IMHO. The only time I could say
that with another is The Closer also on TNT, but not on right now.

I haven't watched it, but I was so happy to have Damages back on again on
FX.

I think most all Koontz fans would like the show. There isn't really a
sci-fi supernatural twist to it, unless you trust the Bond-esque gadgets
they use sometimes, but for an hour show, it has a gripping feeling,
IMHO:

From http://www.tnt.tv/series/leverage/display/?contentId=39809

In LEVERAGE, Hutton plays former insurance investigator Nate Ford, a
once-loyal corporate employee who had recovered millions of dollars in
stolen goods for his employer. But when that employer denied his son's
insurance claims and allowed the boy to die, he realized he could no
longer work for such an entity.

Out of work and descending into alcoholism, Ford is hired by an
aeronautics executive to recover airplane designs the executive claims
were stolen by a rival company. Helping him are four highly skilled team
members: Parker (Beth Riesgraf - Alvin and the Chipmunks), an expert
thief; Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge - Friday Night Lights), a specialist
in Internet and computer fraud; Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane - Into the
West), a high-octane "retrieval specialist" who can take out a gang of
henchmen without breaking a sweat; and Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman -
Coupling), a grifter who could win awards for her acting skills during
difficult scams. At first the newly formed team is hesitant to trust
each other after so many years working alone but being double-crossed
changes the dynamic, ultimately forcing them to unite. They emerge from
the job realizing they are far better working together than apart. Once
they discover they can trust each other the group targets their cons
toward the richest, the greediest and the most unjust.

You hearing freaks Wink can watch full eps at
http://www.tnt.tv/dramavision/?cid=44213, no captions for me.

There was a re-show one night and I tried to watch it. It didn't appeal to
me.
