It is a little sad to see Leverage‘s season end already, even though I’ve had my problems with the show lately. The same could be said about the BBC’s Sherlock which I have absolutely no problems with … it’s one of the best shows on television today. I’m glad that we were able to feature both finales in Quotation Marks this week.
