We've watched since the 1st episode of year one and witnessed the Team melding into a 'family', and feel we've melded into the family right along with 'em. The acting, writing and directing are simply top notch, and each of you is absolutely at the top of your game. We always look forward to each new show. The First Contact Job was great. We love Eliot's 'tough-guy none of us know much about' persona, and would love to have a little more light shed on his past . But, this episode gave Christian a chance to better-stretch his acting chops and show that he's capable of much more than just the standard 'impatient but very qualified hitter', regardless of how much we love that character. We look forward to each actor having that opportunity. This season you seem to be further developing character personalities; and have us all wondering "what's up with Nate?"! The end result is a deeper interest for your fans. Thanks for the best show on TV. Leverage continues to get high ratings because everyone involved continues to consistently deliver a superior product in their area -- and it shows. As a result, you guys stand head and shoulders above the rest! Leverage RULES!!!!

That is the best word (I could think of) to describe this show. I know all good things come to an end and it's better for this to go out the way it did versus it becoming boring and predictable. I love this show and truly miss it but I continue, like any true fan, to watch the reruns. Mabey one day they could all come together to make a movie, that might be kind of cool.♡

This is absolutely the best most well-written show ever on TV. It is very reminiscent of a show that creators John McNamara and David Simkins made in 1999 called Vengeance Unlimited starring Michael Madsen. It makes you feel good at the end of each show that for once people do not get away with Injustice. The elaborate ways the leverage crew goes about bringing Justice is fantastic. I wish TNT had not cancel this show and I am glad is on reruns on Ion TV every Sunday. I love the character development
