I liked it too, although I missed the last 15 minutes due to screaming kids. What happened?

It had a good mix of comedy, action, and drama.

They even used eleventy billion dollars and a few other internet things, which i thought was funny.

While they were visually cool, I didn't really like the scenes with Elliott fighting. They made it seem like he had super powers or something.

Speaking of which, the commercial I heard today on the radio for them says "Critics say it's better than the last two Ocean's Eleven movies".... There was only one Ocean Eleven movie....

I know what they mean, but I still think it's a stupid way to refer to the Ocean franchise.

I enjoyed it - especially since the season started not soon after SoA ended.

Pretty damn terrible. Definitely not better than Ocean's 12 or 13 so far. Maybe future episodes will improve. It made me miss the old Mission: Impossible TV show, which despite being decades older, is still better than Leverage.

Heads up: in about 20 minutes TNT is airing the pilot followed by the second episode, for anyone that missed it and is interested.

I like it.
Watched both episodes. It has some comedy and also a slightly serious side, good mix.

I watched the first episode and generally liked it. Not as good as The Hustle, but surely enjoyable for fans of the genre.

ocean's 11 was good, but ocean's 12 and 13 were suck fests in my opinion. as for Leverage, good concepts, good visuals, pretty decent and fresh cast. though its unrealistic, no one can make 160mm by shorting a stock without the SEC or FINRA crawling up your ass.

i missed the premiere but caught the 2nd episode. Pretty good, some unrealistic-ness, but can be forgiven
