Leverage (2008) // Eliot + Parker

I think about the opening line of leverage a lot
It starts in an airport bar with the bartender telling Nate that the flight starts boarding in 15 minutes.
And then Victor Dubenich arrives
But it never gets mentioned again where Nate was going, and we don’t know of anyone he cares about that he would have to fly to get to. There’s nothing to pull him anywhere, which means that he’s leaving just to go. And look. Nate at the start of this show is so angry, and so helpless, and so alone. He’s just lost his kid and divorced his wife, he’s drunk half to death. He’s is not doing well.
So I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that if Victor Dubenich had arrived 15 minutes late, Nate would’ve gotten on that plane, flown to god knows where, and, by the time someone came looking for him, there probably wouldn’t be anyone to find.

The ending of The Last Dam Job is insane
The crew’s trying to convince Nate not to kill the guy who killed his dad, we’re getting a lot of really sweet and sad moments where they’re all saying things like it will break all of our trust in you, and it will fundamentally change you as a person in a way that you really really won’t like. And Nate is absolutely not listening to them. Push comes to shove, he gets really close to just shooting the guy but then he sees that the crew’s watching him and get some second thoughts so what he does instead is he talks to the guys. And he puts down the gun. And they kill each other.
But look. Fundamentally he did kill them. And the crew is just cool with that ‘cause they’re like okay, but it’s poetic enough, though. Okay, but he didn’t kill them he just conned them to death. (Which absolutely is 10 times scarier than just shooting them.) Their morals are wild and it’s great.

Leverage: Redemption is one of the shows that has the highest probability of making a comeback. Electric Entertainment, the production company behind Leverage: Redemption, was founded by Dean Devlin, who served as executive producer on both the original show (alongside creators John Rogers and Chris Downey) and Redemption as well as directing quite a few episodes of both shows and writing an episode of Redemption (he co-wrote the story of "The Too Many Rembrandts Job" alongside John and Chris) so they're not lacking in support on the production side, its just a matter of finding someone actually willing to air it.
I'm not saying it will happen, I'm just saying it has a better chance than most.

Invisible man, mailman, nobody notices the mailman. He blends right in. Just like a circus clown.
