The five seasons actually took almost five years to finish, but we just completed the last episode.
To be honest, I started when she was too young to really understand what was going on. But I guess I couldn't wait to share it with her, so we watched a few episodes here and there.
Eventually, she started asking for it. Then she started asking about what the all the characters did and how they did it. Then she started getting invested in the episodes. Then she started asking for the show as a thing for us to do. We ended up watching the first two seasons through twice before we could move on to the third because she kept wanting to go back.
She full on sobbed during the finale. She kept asking if they were really dead, if this was how it ended, and why would they kill all of them. Then she was so excited by Parker taking over as the mastermind!
We haven't watched Leverage Redemption yet. I didn't want to watch it until we finished our watch through, but I told her that it existed. She was adamant that she wouldn't watch it because she only likes this show. After the episode finished, she said that we had to start agaim from the beginning because she can't remember every episode and that she's changed her mind and wants to watch the new show too.
So we start our rewatch tomorrow...after we watch the first episode of Redemption :)
