It seems like a thousand years ago, but Christopher Chance and Co. have finally returned to FOX, and the show is as fast, wry, ridiculously violent and entertaining as ever. The openerand Episode 2 are both still available on Hulu and FOX.com; new episodes will be with us on Wednesday for a few weeks least.
Things are a little more ... complex ... than they were in the first season. In the Season Two opener, Chance acquires a "benefactor" -- an exceedingly beautiful and audaciously thin British widow billionaress -- and a dangerously close to cliche cute-plucky-beautiful-young-thief-girl. Both look like they're in it for the duration, though we admit we're going to miss the funky 'boy's club' free-for-all of last year (and there's a sense they'll play on that natural conflict with the new cast).
Still, the boys are back. Chance is still chance, Winston even more Winston-y, and what can you say about Guerrero? Or what SHOULD you say, if you don't want to get, like, killed or something/ (One fun thing is then absolutely gleeful, giggly, teen-heart-throb hero worship that the new young street-theif has for the cold-blooded assassin, and how he reacts to it with crusty acceptance.)
Anyway: welcome back. Next stop, Leverage, back on TNT December 12 (Two weeks! Yay!)
