you know what's ironic like,,,, i have always been like how the fuck did TNT approve airing the original leverage given it's uh, themes,
but literally watch episode 1 and then, realize, this time, literally bezos paid for this

ok also this is going to be my official leverage redemption thread

https://cybre.space/@haskal/106569390914887942
this heckposting was off thread but i'm gonna try to post here to keep it all in one place

cold take: parker is ace & eliot is aro

hot take: parker is trans and nb

extremely hot take: eliot is trans

breanna good imo

breanna saying what's on all our minds
like
"i lived through two recessions and also literally nazis are back"
"the world sucks"

also the new guy (he will literally always be the new guy idr his name to be completely honest. yes breanna is also new but fortunately her name is memorable)
he was adorable lol he tried to say the nate line

eliot bonded with a friendly security guard guy while infiltrating as a security guard and got all sandwichy about carrot cake the guy made for him that parker stole

also the new running joke with parker is literally just "i'm parker"

breanna: how
breanna: ... how.. did you steal that...
breanna: like WTF. how
parker: i'm parker

someone: yeah like that one time you catered for that mafia wedding

eliot: it wasn't just catering it was a _culinary experience_

literally eliot is back and somehow even more of a role model for positive masculinity than before

i wanna make the eliot sandwich tbh
sounds good,

the thing about a show that involves social engineering to a large extent is literally you got actors acting like they're acting
meta acting.....

sophie: ok so your social strategy is going to be-
parker: don't worry i have cards. see? if the other person says what's on the front of the card then I say what's on the back
sophie: parker you can't just reduce social interaction to a flowchart
sophie: .....
sophie: ... ok these are good though ...

also big fucking mood in my imo

OMG

but here a client is gay
he's just like
i'm gay

breanna: what the F--LOPPY DRIVE

breanna is so good

[random belligerent white man]: [harassing a homeless guy]

eliot: [grabs the guy and stares at him] leave.

sophie: we're doing this for nate too

breanna: he would have like this huh

sophie: he would have _hated_ it lol. which would have made me want to do it a little more

breanna: you didn't cast me as the hacker????

sophie: because i need you to actually _be_ the hacker

parker: who do you think i am some skiddie from def con?

hacker parker has orange soda

lol

new guy: holy cow
the librarian's actually a spy???

eliot: i should have known it was you RIZ clowns

i can tell because you hire all these mall cops :)

ok eliot is amazing

parker: we had it all. the perfect christmas spy caper. then the mark had to ruin it by being an actual spy

sophie: parker! where did you get that

parker: hmph. i _bought it_

the mall cops have arrived

new guy: yea the food and drug administration treats food and drugs differently. drugs need to be proven safe before they're approved but food supplements can't be taken off the shelves until they're proven un-safe

sophie: and you know this because.....

parker: evil lawyer
sophie: evil lawyer...
