Leverage Season Two Episode 10 – The Runway Job: Air date January 13, 2010
This is my first individual episode review of a show that I consider to be one of the top five shows on television. As I have mentioned in a Leverage Season One review on my site, the modern day Robin Hood feel makes this a fun show to watch and the interpersonal relationships between the team are interesting to say the least. The Runway Job is the return from their midseason break, and the show jumps into the fashion world for this trendy return.
Taking down a sweatshop run by the Triads was a little more than they bargained for when they first took the job, but the team works together in order to accomplish it. The idea of a tough gang of former crooks infiltrating and “stealing” a runway show is a very interesting plot point, and I think it gives Eliot (Christian Kane) a chance to show off a bit, both his suave lady charmer side and his acting chops as a fashion assistant.
Tara (Jeri Ryan) has become an interesting character in the mix while subbing for Sophie (Gina Bellman), but I have a feeling that something is going to go wrong with that relationship. Tara is still receiving her cut with each job, and I wonder how long the team wants to keep paying a mercenary and how long she wants to stay on the side of the angels. Time will tell.
Nate (Timothy Hutton) is near the breaking point without Sophie and I don’t think he realizes how much she stabilizes his life. The rest of the team sees it as they seem to call her nonstop for advice and asserting that they want her back. All she wants is one person to say he needs her, and I hope he does before it is too late.
It was also nice to see Parker (Beth Riesgraf) play a little dress-up as a runway model. Her charms as a thief translate in a odd distracting way in order to make this a highlight of the show.
