Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Even though you can just tell the production is a little poor (not fancy comparing to the big shows, such as Sherlock), every single episode has a brilliant story that makes the show standout and glowing! Once again, I think storytelling really is the most attractive part of films. Hustle is stories of con man. Each 50-min episode is one clever scam. You can never guess how they could possibly accomplish the scam until the very last minute.I call this TV series a Master program of Scam. After finish watching 50+ stories, you will be able to become a great con man and make a lot of money. Quite appealing, isn't it?

"Hustle" is a rush! It borrows heavily from the 1960's American television, "Mission Impossible", but it was a great formula 40 years ago, & it is a great formula today.Instead of running a con to bring down a corrupt foreign government or rescue a Cold War spy like Jim, Barney, Rollin, Cinnamon, Willy & Paris, the "Hustle" crew selects a corrupt, evil or just plain nasty wealthy mark and plays a long con to rob them of a piece of their ill gotten fortune. Robin Hood would be proud of this London based crew.The composition of the crew is similar in both shows; a handsome, charismatic & ultra intelligent leader, a femme fatal, an electronics expert & a man on the street. Quick change artistry abounds! "Hustle" is a delight, & the occasional break of the 4th wall with a glance or wink to the television viewer lets us know that we are a welcome part of Mickey Stone's crew.The dynamics of the crew keep the energy flowing. Elder statesman Albert (played so well by Robert Vaughn) has passed the torch to Mickey who has Danny nipping at his heals. Everyone loves Stacie, & Ash keeps the ball rolling with quick location transformations."Hustle" is what television used to be when there were quality actors & writers on the small screen. "Hustle" gives one hope for the future of television!

well there was no way i could give this show anything less than 10 because it really is Excellent!! Last night the BBC showed the final episode of the 5th season and still there has not been one bad episode in all 30 episodes. the guy who came up with this concept for a drama is an absolute GENIUS!!! ****Possible Spoilers Ahead For Those Who Have Not Yet Seen Season 5****I was so pleased to see Mickey Bricks return from Australia and one HELL of a return/re-entrance he made! As Stacey and Danny have left they needed him back on board to make this work and work it did. OK, every episode is a new con but it is WHO they con and HOW they execute the big plan. Like Albert Stroller (the great Robert Vaughn) running a huge gambling ring in jail and roping in the prison warden by pretending to be a cat lover thus enabling his approval for parole was sheer class in itself. The change in cast has proved to be very successful but then they did have the genius to cast another very attractive female (Kelly Adams)in the role formerly occupied by Jamie Murray (and she IS attractive!) This show will never tire and i am going to miss the gang a lot till the next series and of course the movie which is currently being written. If you haven't seen it yet i suggest you get hold of it somehow and watch it. If you like great drama with the greatest comedy moments thrown in you'll LOVE HUSTLE!!

Well, BBC Entertainment finally got this series to India. Its probably the best crime drama i've ever seen. Classy and Slick makes you feel like you should be one of em. The music is awesome, shots, color grading, everything is EXCELLENT. Saw two episodes and ordered the DVDs from Amazon. Do not miss this. If you've not even seen on episode, buy the whole DVD set. God I'm a fan...... Absolutely love it.....I loved the crown jewels episode where they steal a diamond. Though stealing a diamond is one of the most stereotype heists, but the way they fooled the police was amazing....The other cool episode was when they pull a long con on this property dealer who tries to run ahead of con men. Well not Mickey and his team. Hats of to Bharat Nalluri for the concept. Now stop reading this and go watch Hustle....
