Product Description

The art of the con is not dead. You merely can't see it. If you do see it, then it is inevitably always too late. It is an invisible crime built on the premise of finding some one who wants something for nothing and then giving them nothing for something. Choose the mark, reel them in, play on their desires and set them up. It doesn't matter whether they're black or white, male or female but they must be strictly major league. There are no quick fixes. Patience is truly a virtue in this game. All you have to do is make them believe... If you're rich, greedy, a taker... then beware! This team is driven to extract the cash from the amoral and the undeserving. They don't just con anyone and they aren't interested in your life savings. They have one golden rule: you can never con an honest man. They are con artists with a conscience. The marks are people we love to hate and can't wait to see being taken down a peg or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep your eyes on the screen but you will still not SEE everything , February 5, 2009

By	Karen D. Larry-Moyer "Pages & Print" (Cuyahoga Falls, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This series with its slick production values and plots that keeps your brain engaged is a rarity in the world of series television. I have to admit it I am a dyed in the wool Anglophile and this show was a delight, sassy and set in London what more could I want ? Each of the characters in this "family" of grifters is distinct and wonderful to watch in action. From Mickey who is so cool and suave that you expect that just to be near him your temp would drop ! Stacie who charms the socks off of every man she meets, Danny who is so much fun to watch since he is his own greatest fan, Ash who pulls equipment and skills out of thin air and finally to Albert who shows that cool can age gracefully , these folks are fun to watch. Never assume that they are the bad guys since from the first episode they remind you that you can't cheat an honest man and they spend episode after episode helping right some wrongs and lining their pockets - treat yourself right buy the whole series - and sit down and have a mini-marathon - You won't regret it !

As I watched this series I have discovered a whole new world I didn't even know existed. I don't know if I marveled more at the ability of the writer who wrote the script for the series or the super talented actors who breathed life into that script.

The characters, while they may not possess super-human abilities, nevertheless have abilities and skills that make them practically supermen. They have brilliant minds and array of skills and abilities that would make them super successful in any area of life. They gave a whole new meaning to a word "mastermind". With each new episode, the characters, like chameleons, take on new personalities - they become whoever is most suitable for the game they play. They can think on their feet, speak with different accents, always seem to say the right thing to get them what they want, and for that they also possess an super knowledge of psychology and human nature. They have a wide range of skills from alarms to slapping professionally designed websites overnight to getting and working any props they can possibly need to play the game and bring it to desired conclusion. Each one seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge on any topic - or at least enough of it to bluff his way through any situation.

And of course, in spite of all the skills they have, we wouldn't love them so much if it weren't that they are indulging in con games not just for fun and profit, but also to teach really bad guys lessons. Their marks are well screened, people who have used and abused others and made money from others for a very long time, and if it happens that the mark has a change of heart and develops a conscience during the game, they let the mark go free. These are con artists with a conscience who never play games upon those who are open hearted, generous and who live honorable lives. And now and then, the con artists fall pray to other con artists, as they say "win some and lose some".

While each episode portrays one big con, within those big cons, sometimes they play short cons - cons that most average people may fall for, but even those average people only fall for those cons if they are governed by greed, by desire to get something for nothing. Among the other short cons they play precious dog in a bar routine, pigeon drop, jamaican switch, three card monte, and a number of others.

5.0 out of 5 stars great seasons-great cons, February 9, 2009

By	michelle - See all my reviews

The Hustle team never disappoint. Four seasons packed with fun and nail-biting suspense. Well worth watching over and over again! Also includes some extended or deleted scenes, which i haven't seen before on TV.
Only downside is that Mikey isn't in season 4, which is a great loss. But to compensate Danny becomes even more funny and bold. The con is on-don't miss out!
