Trivia:
There are several references throughout the show to "Doctor Who" (2005). In "Leverage" The Bank Shot Job (2008) Hardison expresses his frustration at the amount of time it took him to torrent the latest episode of "Doctor Who". In "Leverage" The Mile High Job (2009), the aliases given are all references to "Doctor Who" (Nate's aliases, Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy and Tom Baker, all portrayed The Doctor while Sophie's alias is Sarah Jane Baker, a reference to Sarah Jane Smith, one of The Doctor's companions). Furthermore, in "Leverage" The 12-Step Job (2009), Nate again uses the alias Tom Baker, while Parker uses Rose, the name of another one of The Doctor's companions.

The premier/pilot episode of 'Leverage' fulfilled the standard requirements of all pilots: Introduce the characters, show concept and storyline parameters and try to squeeze in a decent dramatic plot line amidst all the necessary exposition. For the most part, they pulled it off. I think the characters, like all new show's characters, will settle into their more-defined personalities and the interaction between characters will become smoother and more integrated. Five episodes into the series will show the true direction of the show.
Basically, it is just a rehash of the excellent British-made 'Hu$tle', a show that seemed to have a little more humor and style than this effort.
