No comparison there. I'll take "Hustle" any day of the week. The anti-hero angle in "Leverage" is fun, but there's nothign quite as fun as seeing the bad guys just cutting loose. And "Hustle" came up with a few "shell-in-shell" scenarios that kept me jumping.

I enjoyed that show, it had a black man in the lead-and a very good actor to boot. Doesn't seem to have ever really caught on in America during its run... -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Martin Baxter" > To quote Hubert Farnsworth, "Good news, everyone!" > > > > > > ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- > > Subject : [scifinoir2] Leverage Renewed > > Date : Wed, 4 Feb 2009 01:35:16 -0800 > > From : "Tracey de Morsella" > > To : > > > NT has renewed its hit heist dramedy "Leverage" for a second season. > > The cable network announced on Monday (Feb. 2) that it has ordered an > additional 15 "Leverage" episodes slated to begin later in 2009. > > Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf and Aldis Hodge > star as a group of sometime-crooks now doing the Robin Hood thing as they > right corporate misdeeds.
