"Hustle"

Was really good yesterday did anyone watch it?
I have been following it so far and this one was exeptional the writers did a great job of making you think you know where the story was going and then it suddenly turned I dont want to give to much away incase someone taped it for whatever reason for those who watch do you think this was the best episode so far?

I dont watch it, its on at the same time as CSI, which i imagine is infinitely better anyway.

Added to that list, it tries so hard to be stylish, but fails spectacularly.

However, as far as TV goes, it's worth a watch despite all those faults. Wouldn?t go out of my way to catch an episode, but it's, you know, fun.

It's a TV show, it doesn't think at all! ;-p

It doesn't claim to be a great crime thriller or a masterpiece of in-depth writing. It's a bit of fun, that's all.

As has been said, it's light entertainment. It appears you're looking too deep and expecting far too much from it, IMHO.

Fair enough.
We all have our own opinions and those are arguments that can't be won - I can't force you to believe its crap and likewise.

It's light entertainment.

It gets a thumbs up from me.

Damn my typing and damn your quoting.

Uh huh. And then we have the various people throughout the programme like the receptionist "I'll have to phone." "wont be a minute." "oh go on then".

Like the art gallery episode, guy walks in, lifts up the painting and pretends to be a fecking security man. Honest to GOd, contrary to popular belief Guards aren't that stupid.

Thanks for agreeing with me.

Here's what's wrong with it:

It thinks it's cleverer than it actually is.
It can get completely ridiculous at points.
The main characters are cocky idiots and the people they con are stupid.
It annoys you.
