Leverage and Leverage: Redemption has always known exactly how to tug at your heartstrings but this second season has just gone above and beyond. I’ve mentioned it in most, if not all, of my reviews so far but there really is such a strong focus on character, often delving into their past as well as what they’re currently going through, while also focusing on the dynamics between them.

Going into this episode, I never would have guessed this job would have brought out such emotion. It’s a very straightforward case of dealing with a pyramid scheme at least until the mark becomes impossible to lie to. It’s an issue that requires the often-needed skill to adjust at the drop of a hat and switch the plan up in order to get the desired final result. This time around because Sophie can’t get away with lying, even just a little bit, she has to result in telling the truth.

With Leverage making a comeback, I was a little nervous going into it, especially with meeting new characters. However, I ended up really loving both Harry and Breanna from the get-go. It’s been so much fun to see them come into their own as Leverage: Redemption has progressed.

Season one was like a re-introduction to the Leverage world. It showed us what was different about this revival as well also what has carried over from the original but it also got us caught up on what the previous characters have been up to and where they currently are while simultaneously introducing us to both Harry and Breanna. It was done so well, with the two of them fitting in perfectly with the rest of the team, and so far season two has definitely allowed us to dive deeper into all of the characters.

It’s Christmas time in the Leverage: Redemption world! Parker goes all out with the decorations and her Christmas jumper and it’s all very cute and funny to watch, especially when she gives each member their own personalised Santa hat. It was also really good to hear about everyone’s plans and that even though those plans get completely interrupted, the team were happy to be together because it means they get to spend Christmas with family.
