The Work Study Job

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 11 January 2023]

This episode restored my faith in Leverage: Redemption and was definitely one of the highlights of the show's second season. We had a very clear story and we had a recognizable and very hatable bad guy, something we don't always get here. We also had someone to root for who was cheated.

Seeing the gang all work together and deal with the unique dynamic of pulling off a con at a school, along with struggling to face some of the hurdles that brought made for good TV.

This felt very much in the tune of the original series and proved to be a standout episode in season two of the reboot. Well-done here.

Best episode of the season.

As usual, the gang comes up with a fine comeuppance for a charlatan who has it coming. In vaudeville days, this feloniously phony prof would have gotten a steady diet of cream pies in his face. His unraveling here delights in an extra dimension - besides helping the standard sympathetic victim of the jerk du jour, the involvement of the security and custodial staff who have also suffered indignities from this scholastic snob elevates the emotional payoff package way beyond most of the team's other undoings of evildoers.

But one bit in the middle highlights an unfortunate aspect of Redemption compared to the original Leverage run. We need MORE HARDISON! MORE HARDISON! They may be a noble gang of thieves, but he's the one who can really steal a scene.

WTF is a "tomahawk reactor". Don't you mean a tokamak? As in the donut shaped magnetic confinement device in a fusion reaktor?

It felt like a gut punch hearing her say this and the prof reacting like she said something really smart. It took me out of the episode and it seemed like the actors could just start speaking jibberish while acting out the same scenes just as dramatically and no one would bat an eye.

Just a quick note to the writers. When you write technobabble, look up what something is and make sure your autocorrect doesn't mess it up.

A conman fails if they get cought out on the simplest stuff. Double bad if the "tech nerd" has no idea what they are talking about.
