Chicago Tribune

Like the original, “Leverage: Redemption” works best if you don’t think too deeply about any of it, but instead allow the show’s jaunty confidence and loose playfulness wash over you.

Jul 12, 2021

The A.V. Club

Each disguise, exaggerated accent, and gadget serves a purpose. It’s undoubtedly a formula, but one that continues to work, thanks in great part to a spirited cast that acts like a found family, on and offscreen.

Paste Magazine

Suffice to say the performances are not great even from those who you would expect to be on point. The charm of the original was the easy rapport among the leads; that’s missing in this go round. Thankfully the series does improve with each passing episode. The pilot is the most awkward.

San Francisco Chronicle

“Leverage” creator Dean Devlin (“Independence Day”) and showrunner Kate Rorick (Devlin’s “Librarians” series) keep things breezy yet eventful in each episode. Efforts to build any character out past two dimensions are less successful, no doubt because no one’s really trying.

Absolutely love this show. Huge fan of the original. Would have given it a 10 but, without Nate (Timothy Hutton) it's just not the same. Plus I miss the banter between Hardison and Parker and between Elliot and Hardison. There could be less seriousness and more levity between the characters, as with the original. But all in all, it's better than I thought it would be.

This show is comedically bad. These positive reviews are wild. There are definitely some shenanigans going on with the review process.
