1 rec: leverage (2008)

[aanjehlaa]

reading your general likes, this part stood out to me the most: anger focused outward to a sharp point to leverage against the injustices of the world. so, the rec i have for you is:

title: leverage
genre: drama? criminal drama? action crime drama?
media type: tv show
source material: amazon prime
wikia/imdb: wikia | imdb
tumblr recs: possible bad rats example? | team intros

notes: leverage is literally "anger focused outward to a sharp point to leverage against the injustices of the world"! something parker says is "sometimes bad guys are the only good guys you get", and that's basically the premise of the whole show. a bunch of criminals band together and act like robin hood for the people who would otherwise be steam-rolled by some very not nice people. (i can't find a season one trailer, but if you've ever seen hustle the premise is apparently similar.)

there are five seasons of the show, and there is character growth throughout each season. if i understand the bad rats trope correctly, then i think parker and eliot apply. (side note: eliot is played by christian kane, who was in angel, which is adjacent to btvs!)

some episodes are absolutely hilarious! (there's 'the rashomon job', for instance, which i find highly amusing.) but then some episodes can be really, really emotional. :c please check the warnings below. you haven't listed some of them as a dnw, but it's better to be forewarned. (although i wouldn't be able to list each episode the warnings apply to.)

WARNINGS: one character deals with addiction, and that is addressed throughout seasons 1, 2, and especially 3.

there is a modicum of violence, as might be expected in a show where the main characters are constantly going against out-right criminals and extremely shady "good guys". it's never to excess though.

there are also death scenes of characters both shown and implied, and season 1 discusses and shows the death of one of the character's child. & i believe it's season four that has one of the main characters buried alive and suffering a panic attack.
