The current header for Procedurals says it's for shows where the primary objective is to figure out the case. Unless that is changed, I'd say it doesn't fit Leverage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have no idea what goes on in an episode of In Plain Sight, but I've developed a wee crush on Fred Weller (who's Paul Weller's cousin, and I can totally see the resemblance) from two disparate L&O:CI appearances--in one he plays a not too bright horse trainer, and in the other a severely entitled multi-millionaire.
Anyone watch the show? Worth pursuing a crush to watch it?
God, Leverage can't come back soon enough, and Life and T:SCC cannot be cancelled. The Mentalist and Grey's Anatomy are not going get me through the nights.

Cable Drama is all about it being CABLE drama of any stripe. IOW, not network television.

Mad Men also gets a good amount of discussion in here when it is airing.

Cable Drama has different seasons than network.

I really like In Plain Sight, ita. The characters...all of them, are multidimensional and compelling. I really like the writing.
Fred Weller is a joy to watch. And Leslie Ann Warren is both gorgeous and transfixing in a...how can she be so beautiful and yet so incredibly vexing...sort of way. You really feel what the characters are about.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I like "In plain sight" generally, but the lead character's sister and mother drive me up a tree. I don't know how I can watch the show when I hate them so vehemently. I started watching the show and saw the mother and sister right off the bat, and I had to come back to it.
I'll try the show again, but they need to be off my tv.

Lesley Ann Warren usually plays characters that bother me. All her recent stuff...well, she's coasting on Mission: Impossible goodwill. Last other thing I saw her in was Crossing Jordan as Lucy's irresponsible mother. Though that end was pretty harsh.

Have you seen CHOOSE ME? It's from a while ago (and sad of me to think of the 80s as a while ago) but she pretty much got a free pass from me for that movie. It's a touch mannered (especially Keith Carradine's character, though I like his performance), but I adore the move. Plus a steaming Teddy Pendergrass soundtrack.
