TNT's "Leverage"

The “Leverage” gang has to be one of the most Twitter savy groups out there.

Unlike other productions where information is always on lockdown, “Leverage” has opened their set to it’s fans and followers.

On this blog we’ve begun to post our two favorite Twitter feeds from the show (see our sidebar to the right). Continue reading... “Live Updates from the Set of "Leverage"”
