Leverage season 1 should be watched in a different order. The crime show follows Nate Ford and his team of criminals as they try to be "good guys," mostly taking down rich executives to help working-class people. Leverage premiered on TNT in 2008 and the original series ran for five seasons into 2012, then returned in 2021 as Leverage: Redemption on Freevee. However, while the series' original order certainly made an impact, it's actually not the best way to enjoy the show.
