kilroyCheck out Leverage. It's worth a look. The writing and staging are all first-rate, the cinematography and music are seamless, and it's just generally a well-put together and thoroughly enjoyable show.
The weird part for me is that out of the five main characters, the two that do not immediately sell me are the two that really need to: the main guy (Nate) and the con artist (Sophie). He underplays it and she overplays it. The whole thing jars me just a little bit because I know from prior experience that they're both capable of better. I keep waiting for the right combination of time, direction, and inspiration to really make those two characters click.
If that happens, then I'm pretty much sold for life.
