#leverage's bottle/rashomon/inside/david/maltese falcon jobs
Text
So I did a tier rank list for Leverage before I do my full rewatch, with episodes based off of memory (some I even had to look up what they were!). I wonder how controversial these opinions are, if at all.
S = Absolute Favorite
A = Love them!
B = Enjoy Them!
C = Average episode but still like them
D = Meh/Boring/Dislike
....I also wonder if that's even legible! Just in case, I'll do a read more with the breakdown typed out. (and FYI, in C tier, they're all fairly interchangeable. Other tiers feel about right. Also two part finale episodes are always combined together as one.) (and yes, I'm aware that I have a bias for earlier seasons, partially because I have rewatched them more frequently just from starting from E1 then going on, and partially because I genuinely think that they are better.)

Your posts have me watching Leverage while working. Would you recommend jumping from 0 to Redemption after a few episodes? What are the important ones to see?
I'd say watch the original Leverage in full if you can, because a lot of the emotional weight in the sequel is built from the death of a main character from the original, and you do benefit from having the full background on how much he meant to them. That said, here's a bunch I'd say are worth considering, and why, so you can decide which ones you actually want to see. I included more than half (unfortunate if you're low on time).
S1E1 - The Nigerian Job (how the team got together)
S1E3 - The Two-Horse Job (Eliot backstory)
S1E4 - The Miracle Job (Nate backstory)
S1E6 - The Stork Job (Parker backstory; I have a lot of issues with this episode but it is important)
S1E7 - The Wedding Job (introduces the FBI duo, best meme)
S1E10 - The 12-Step Job (heavy focus on Nate's alcoholism)
S1E12/13 - The First David Job/The Second David Job (finale two-parter has heavy focus on Sophie and Nate, introduces Nate's ex-wife, addresses what happened to their son)
S2E1 - The Beantown Bailout Job (Irish Mob, which is important, getting the team back together)
S2E4 - The Fairy Godparents Job (overall fun, Sophie development)
S2E7 - The Two Live Crew Job (another con team gets involved, introduces recurring antagonist Cha0s, played by Wil Wheaton)
S2E11 - The Bottle Job (Nate's alcoholism, more Irish mob)
S2E12 - The Zanzibar Marketplace Job (Nate's wife again)
S2E13 - The Psychic Job (Parker development)
S2E14/15 - The Three Strikes Job/The Maltese Falcon Job (it is a finale, but it's just... very much my least favorite ngl; also this is one of the ones where Nate gets shot)
S3E1 - The Jailhouse Job (the team breaks Nate out of supermax prison)
S3E3 - The Inside Job (Parker backstory, introduces her mentor/father figure)
S3E6 - The Studio Job (this one is just really fun, that's all)
S3E9 - The Three-Card Monte Job (introduces Nate's dad, as well as including the Irish and Russian mobs; yes this is why the Irish mob is important)
S3E11 - The Rashomon Job (a classic, absolute must-watch, gives you great insight about how the cast worked solo before they became a team)
S3E12 - The King George Job (Sophie development)
S3E13 - The Morning After Job (Parker fakes her death)
S3E14 - The Ho Ho Ho Job (Cha0s is back)
S3E15/16 - The Big Bang Job/The San Lorenzo Job (massive Eliot development, the team steals a small country, Sophie fakes her death)
S4E1 - The Long Way Down Job (Eliot and Parker development)
S4E2 - The 10 Li'l Grifters Job (murder mystery, just a lot of fun)
S4E4 - The Van Gogh Job (the first period piece! the actual core plot is a story told by an old man about a romance he had in the 1940s, with the team playing out his flashbacks; good for Parker/Hardison, period costumes, FEELS)
S4E5 - The Hot Potato Job (this is the one where Sophie impersonates Eliot to sell a bit)
S4E6 - The Carnival Job (tfw you're just stealing something but the Russian Mob gets involved)
S4E7 - The Grave Danger Job (Hardison gets buried alive, good for Parker/Hardison)
S4E9 - The Cross My Heart Job (bottle episode, the team has minimal resources and time to save a child's life)
S4E10 - The Queen's Gambit Job (Sterling's back, Nate cheats at a chess competition)
S4E11 - The Experimental Job (Parker/Hardison development, Eliot development)
S4E12 - The Office Job (mockumentary, very fun)
S4E13 - The Girls' Night Out Job (Tara, Parker, and Sophie run a con together, Parker's friend from a previous episode makes an appearance)
S4E14 - The Boys' Night Out Job (Nate, Eliot, and Hardison run a con together, Hurley from S1E10 is back, we get the Irish Mob again but this time they bring one of the absolute best meme conversations in the show with them)
S4E15 - The Gold Job (Hardison takes lead on a con; he's not great at it)
S4E16/17 - The Radio Job/The Last Dam Job (Nate's dad is back, the team gathers allies from past jobs, just a lot of fun and a few people die)
S5E1 - The (Very) Big Bird Job (team moves to Portland, fake-steal a giant wooden plane)
S5E3 - The First Contact Job (faking alien contact is fun okay)
S5E4 - The French Connection Job (Eliot backstory, Parker development)
S5E5 - The Gimme a K Street Job (do you hate politicians? Watch this. Lots of Leverage hates politicians but this episode REALLY hates politicians)
S5E6 - The D.B. Cooper Job (the second period piece! this one's in the 1970s and has Parker and Eliot playing the happy couple)
S5E8 - The Broken Wing Job (Parker and a new friend run an entire con together because Parker's home with an injury while everyone else is running a con abroad)
S5E10 - The Frame Up Job (Sophie and Nate fuck with Sterling)
S5E11 - The Low Low Price Job (Eliot development)
S5E12 - The White Rabbit Job (sometimes you just gotta drug and psychologically pressure a man until he breaks)
S5E15 - The Long Goodbye Job (series finale! Very important! Sophie and Nate retire. Everyone fakes their death except Nate. Nate gives Sterling an entire tragic story about how the others died. Parker is put in charge of everything forever. It's great)
