7''Leverage'' (2008-2012) is a crime {{dramedy}} which follows the exploits of Leverage Consulting & Associates, a team of heroic criminals led by a former insurance investigator. The team takes a [[JustLikeRobinHood modern-day Robin Hood approach]] of finding people and corporations who have committed wrongs and [[PayEvilUntoEvil attempting to restore justice as they see it]], using their skills to run elaborate ''Film/OceansEleven''-style cons on their targets. Think of them as a modern-day version of ''Series/MissionImpossible'' or ''Series/TheATeam''.

9The show finished its fifth and final season after Creator/{{TNT}} opted not to renew it for a sixth. However, the franchise continued through [[https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/BFE/a-leverage-novel tie-in novels]] and [[http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?keywords=Leverage&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto= role-playing games]]. A [[KoreanDrama Korean]] [[ForeignRemake adaptation]] titled ''Leverage: Con Artists'' debuted in October of 2019 and ran for one season. It was retroactively made a part of the same universe as the original series.

19It has an [[UsefulNotes/ThePond across-the-pond]] [[TransAtlanticEquivalent counterpart]] in ''Series/{{Hustle}}''. While the general concept is the same and at least one prominent guest star appeared on both shows, the two shows are unrelated.
