Leverage

Finally up-to-date with Chuck while waiting for the other series to continue from their winter break. An officemate suggested Leverage, currently in its 3rd season. I wasn't sure at first but when she gave me a copy of the complete first 2 seasons, I got hooked. After less than a week, I'm 5 episodes shy of finishing Season 1, that's how hooked I am.

According to Wikipedia, Former insurance investigator Nathan Ford and his team act as modern-day Robin Hoods, pulling elaborate cons targeting the greedy and the corrupt who have deceived their working class clients. At the beginning of season one, the team is brought together to pull a heist, but upon being betrayed by the man who hired them, they get revenge by sinking his company, amassing a fortune in the process. Finding a taste for good deeds and for working together, the team decides to stay together. They move into Los Angeles headquarters where they use their skills to assist helpless victims of the rich and powerful.
