Well done. 9 of 10 stars

We really enjoyed this first of two seasons. I think it must be the characters and acting that are making it work. As con artists it is hard to believe that anyone wouldn’t quickly see beyond them, especially when they are in jobs that really require some knowledge.

It’s nice to see a con show where the cons aren’t perfect. However, I think in this case they undershoot in being convincing in that they probably wouldn’t survive 5 minutes in real-life doing some of the things they try to do. Although the presentation is done in a fairly light-hearted manner, the characters are constantly on the edge. This is a prime example of people constantly making bad choices. This is not a con show sensu The Sting.
