14 Years Later, TNT’s Criminally Overlooked Action Series Is Officially Free on Streaming
“Leverage,” the TNT heist series that ran for five seasons, is now officially available for free on streaming. The show follows a crew of master criminals recruited to execute targeted scams and cons against wealthy and powerful individuals. Despite receiving far less mainstream attention than comparable series from the same era, “Leverage” has maintained a devoted cult following over more than a decade, earning recognition as one of the most criminally overlooked entries in its genre.
The series exemplifies the late 2000s golden age of quirky antihero television, a short-lived trend that also produced “White Collar,” “Burn Notice,” and “Psych.” While those programs—primarily airing on USA Network—achieved greater cultural prominence, “Leverage” stands out as a series in which crime-fighters leverage their illicit skills to pursue justice against worse criminals. The show’s arrival on free streaming platforms 14 years after its conclusion provides new audiences the opportunity to discover this underrated gem that has long deserved wider recognition.
