Think about it, a group of people who right wrongs by conning and tricking the bad guys. and both groups consist of 5 members, each with their own talint. There's probably more similaries but I can think of them a the moment.

I totally agree with you. I just started rewatching the original M:I on Netflix and I'm blown away by how much "Leverage" and a few other shows relied on this ground breaking hit.

Sigh. I'm sorry that "Leverage" is ending. I would have loved it if they had been able to have some of the surviving M:I cast on in cameo roles.
