"Age of the geek, baby. We run the world."

Leverage! I should have started watching Leverage ages ago! I only watched the first episode last night, but this show is exactly what I've been looking for. (Ref: My whine on Very Important Deep Shows.) This show is basically Ocean's Eleven (the new version.) If you liked that movie, you should like Leverage. Contrived? Sure. Entertaining? YES. I even laughed out loud several times - it's like sneak-attack comedy. First and foremost it's not a comedy, but there are these surprise funny moments of pretty sharp wit.

And looking it up on IMDB, there are tons of Doctor Who references in the episodes! How could I not love that? Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy, Tom Baker, Sarah Jane and Rose all get a mention. Plus I guess in one episode one of the guys complains about the amount of time it takes to torrent the latest episode of DW. XD

Now I just have to catch up with the episodes. The very cool thing is that it looks like Netflix is streaming new episodes after they air. As in, before they're released on DVD! Hulu is nice and all, but I much prefer to watch stuff directly on my TV. *smooches my Roku player*
