I actually cannot watch Leverage because the show wants me to think it's competence porn while what it's showing me on-screen is actually incompetence.
It gets ESPECIALLY bad with Eliot.
And I wish it wasn't like that because in theory, characterwise, there's so much catnip! But in terms of what's ACTUALLY SHOWN ON SCREEN Sophie's accents are awful, Eliot should be dead six times over, they don't let nearly enough of Hardison's computer magic happen OFF-SCREEN and also Cold Doesn't Work Like That Guys, At All Oh My God.
(Sense8 made better choices with this one: Nomi's computer-magic is treated like the impenetrable magic it should be, and they have much better fight choreographers for Wolfgang and Will.)
