They do talk about this in the commentaries and it is truly one of the most clever writing choices I've seen in TV. I love it. Also definitely stealing "Exposition Eliot" thank you very much.

if you're not mad about Leverage Redemption not being renewed for season four just remember season four is when they were planning on introducing Nana
Anyone: *is watching Leverage for the first time*
Me: have you heard about watch order? Do you know the watch order? Hey. Hey. Are you aware that season one is out of order and requires a specific watching order. Hey. Hey. Hey. Have I told you about watch order yet?
May I present, the actual Leverage Season 1 intended viewing order:
The Nigerian Job (#101)
The Homecoming Job (#102)
The Wedding Job (#107)
The Snow Job (#109)
The Mile High Job (#108)
The Miracle Job (#104)
The Two-Horse Job (#103)
The Bank Shot Job (#105)
The Stork Job (#106)
The Juror #6 Job (#111)
The 12-Step Job (#110)
The First David Job (#112)
The Second David Job (#113)
What
The Actual
Fuck
Work is cancelled tomorrow I have more important things to do
The most important things about Viewing Order imo:
The Wedding Job. With the Wedding Job as #7 (airing order), it seems like Sophie is totally fine with the way things are going and then all of a sudden flips her lid about wanting a relationship. It feels like they just suddenly decided to insert drama by making her hysterical. But with the Wedding Job as number 3 it makes perfect sense: When Nate walked back into her life she must have made the totally reasonable assumption that they were going to have a relationship, and by episode three she's realizing that things are not going the way she expected. So then they have it out and she understands that he is interested but that it will take time, and that's pretty much the footing they're on for the rest of the season.
The Two Horse Job. Introducing Sterling is a big fun way of introducing something new to the mix, a way to upset the usual formula by bringing in somebody who actually has a chance against them. Broadcast order puts this as #3 which means it happens before you even have a chance to get used to the REGULAR formula. So it has less impact AND makes it harder to really get into the flow of the show, since so much is changing off the bat.
The 12-Step Job. It flows SO well into the First David Job, since 12-Step ends with quitting rehab and First David starts with the "intervention." Once you see that, it's obvious that 12 Step was MEANT to set that up and get us moving into the finale. Instead the broadcast order jams Juror #6 in between them, which is a very different tone and focus and loses that whole momentum.
The Juror #6 Job. I don't want to take credit for this, I saw SOMEBODY bring it up but I'm not sure if it was on this post or what. But anyway. If you put Juror #6 back where it belongs, it goes after the Stork Job. Which means we've just had a pretty dark Parker episode and seen how bad she is at people. So it makes sense to follow that with a more hopeful episode for her and it makes sense to insist that she needs to go do this to improve her people skills, since we've just seen that that's an issue.
Also, the Snow Job being 4th in order rather than coming later in the season makes the team's anger at Nate's drinking make more sense. In the airing order, the team has seen Nate drink severely for a while now, so it makes their anger at it seem like it's coming in way too late. It also makes Nate's disregard of their feelings seem cruel after everything they had been through up to that point. I remember growing up and hating that episode cuz it made it feel like everyone took a huge step back in how much they had grown to care for each other. I like it much better at #4.
And another point on the Two Horse Job, it coming before the Wedding Job makes Nate seem like an even bigger asshole than he really was. Elliot brings them the job in the Two Horse Job and Nate is fine with it. But when Sophie brings them the Wedding Job a couple of episodes later, Nate blows up on them about how he is the only one that brings in clients. When the Wedding Job is #3, it makes sense cuz Nate hasn't learned to give up control. But when it comes after the Two Horse Job, it makes him seem like he is picking on Sophie in particular, and it always pissed me off.
The writers took a lot of care when planning out the character development, and it sucks that so much of it was wasted by the studio changing the order on them.
Also, in the Wedding Job, Eliot talks about how he blew it with his fiancé. Which is useless exposition, given that we met her already (airing order) in the Two-Horse Job.
And in the Two-Horse Job the ex-fiance tells Elliot that she's glad he's found a family, which is an absolutely wild assertion when they've done like. Two jobs total.

Leverage: Redemption S01E07 The Double-Edged Sword Job.
i think what makes pardison truly the m/f ship of all time is that there are exactly zero gender roles intrinsic to their relationship. no he was a boy she was a girl bullshit. hardison almost instantly fell in love with her but the relationship was entirely at parker's pace. no strong dominating man bullshit. no girlboss malewife shit that tumblr always likes to pull. just two extraordinarily competent adults who are deeply in love with each other. they've even got a third guy who follows them around everywhere and it's never assumed that he's competition for hardison (yes eliot is still deeply intertwined in their relationship but my point still stands)

Leverage S01E13 The Second David Job.
I really appreciate how in The Queen's Gambit Job, they didn't try to have a reveal where Nate could actually beat all of the chess grandmasters without cheating. Like, yeah, Hardison can actually play the Scheherazade solo perfectly because his nerves were what got in his way and he got hypnotized out of that, sure. Sophie can identify the exact percentage and location of origin of cocoa beans in a piece of chocolate, why not, that makes sense. Eliot has almost-perfect pitch and can sing and play the guitar, that doesn't surprise me. Parker can pull off the White Rabbit for real, of course she can. But they didn't pull that trick with Nate and the chess tournament, and I really liked that. He's really good at chess, yeah, but not grandmaster level. They had to play dirty and cheat to get him in the finals against Olivia. In all of those other situations where the rest of the team doubted another member's abilities, Nate never had any doubt. Nate knows what they *all* can do, and that includes knowing that he isn't magically good enough to win those games without help, because even though chess is "his game", his REAL game is not played with chess pieces. It's played with People. His people. And he knows all of the moves they can make. He always knows how to win on that board.
Let's steal ourselves a high school musical.
(well, it was a middle school musical though)
the funniest thing nate ford ever did was run up like twelve flights of stairs racing an elevator to press every floor button to stall sterling
