I LLlove that they rebooted Leverage, and I'm really enjoying Leverage Redemption.
I also think it's better off without Timothy Hutton, and not just because of the SA accusations - his arc was well and truly done by the end of season 5, and backtreading over it would have just cheapened Nate's character growth.
The secret? I wish there was someone with the acting chops of Timothy Hutton still on the show, with a character arc that brought some gravitas to the show balance out the whimsy. I like what they're doing with Sophie, but it's just not there for me, yet.
