Wow. Just wow.
So, yes, the show I was remembering being told to watch *was* Leverage - bonus points to everybody who told me to watch it and/or told me that's what people told me to watch.
Because it is freaking *amazing* and hits oh, 90% of my kinks. I mean, hello - ENSEMBLE team that's actual ensemble cast, not the 'oh, it's a group but we only care about the 'lead'' sorta ensemble. And it's THIEVES AND CON ARTISTS working outside the law but for justice, hello, how awesome is that?!
And it's just fantastic and I watched, um, all existing seven episodes on Saturday.
I was sorta up until 2am because I watched the first few and then had to meet people for dinner and then drinks and got home at a little past 11 and was like "just one more before bed" and "just one more before bed" turned into 4 more episodes.
So SO SO SO good. Of course, on Sunday morning at 6am the cat was like "omg, omg, you are going to be late for work and if you're late for work, how will you KITTENS GET FED?!"
He doesn't believe in weekends. And he would not stop, ever, ever, ever. So at 7:30 I gave up and went downstairs to sleep on the sofa until oh, TEN AM. I never sleep that late but then I don't usually go to bed at 8am! And them I ended up spending most of Sunday evening catching up on old episodes of Criminal Minds because apparently when I break the seal of not watching tv for 4 months, I break it HARD. I blame my mom for making me watch House Hunters all last weekend.
Also, watching like 7 back-to-back episodes of Criminal Minds means that when you go to bed at midnight, you're pretty sure somebody's gonna break into your house and murder you dead.
They didn't. But there's always tonight.
HI darlings, I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I know I did!

One of the reasons why the show is written so well: they brought the writers in EARLY -- about 2 months before shooting -- so all the scripts were written *together*. Hello continuity!
And I'm so glad you remembered to watch and that you like it!

Although some people may kill me, because I'd be much happier if Christian Kane got a hair cut. That's right, I SAID IT!
But wow, I had NO idea - I knew it was for 12 episodes initially and just the first 7 had aired and was totally happy and excited I had 5 more - this just MADE MY DAY.
Yeah, they did a GREAT job. I think I only had like one issue which was not about consistency but about timing - the one where Elliot (Eliot?) is talking about his ex-girlfriend and how she was the closest he came to marriage and 'revealing' it for the first time after we'd already met Amy in the horse episode.
Also, seriously excellent and real chemistry (of all sorts) between EVERY permutation of characters. Which is LOVE. I am adoring it.

Hardison: Man, I just don't get weddings. Why go to all that trouble for a piece of paper?
Eliot: Yeah.
Hardison: You've never been married?
Eliot: No.
Hardison: You ever been close?
Me: ::frowns::
Eliot: ::evasively:: No.
Hardison: ::does not buy it:: What was her name?
Me: ...Amy. Her name was Amy. You met her four episodes ago.
Eliot: She was nobody. Just someone I grew up with.
Me: Right! Amy! Four episodes ago!
Hardison: Why'd you leave?
Eliot: She married someone else.
Me: Right! Like you talked about four episodes ago!
Hardison: Where were you that you weren't the one?
Me: Being tortured by Eastern Europeans.
Eliot: I liberated Croatia!
Me: See?
ETA: Edited to fix MAJOR dialogue flub.

Heee. I totally should have checked for that kinda thing but of course I had much more worry of spoilers in general since I was catching up. Oh, darn you television stations with your inability to go with the 'right' order! Hrmfs.
