Nate Ford (Timothy Hutton) - the central character on TNT's Leverage and described as the textbook flawed cable hero - is on a crossroads as the drama series kicks off its sophomore season tonight at 9pm.

Leverage, which revolves around a bitter and vengeful modern-day Robin Hood is reportedly a victim of uncertainty of whether or not Leverage would be renewed or not. Early February this year, however, TNT announced that it has renewed the show for a second, 15-episode season, and co-creator John Rogers admits to USA Today that they may have ended up "writing ourselves into a corner" in an effort to provide a "satisfying ending" to the series in the event of a non-renewal.

So far, Leverage has done a good job mixing up the capers and villains effectively and it seems like the show is going to continue to keep it fresh with tonight's episode called “The Stork Job.”

Rather than focus on lawyers or cops, Leverage takes crime from a different vantage point. The drama thriller, which revolves around a group of criminals as they wreak revenge on rich companies and wealthy business men, premiered last night with a refreshing modern day Robin Hood premise that has left viewers and critics buzzing around the show.

Executive producer Dean Devlin, who is credited for The Patriot and Independence Day, wanted to do a show that that wasn't as dark and edgy as the CSI-style series.
