Great season - and correction to above review

"I think this season compares quite favorably to the previous two - if you liked them, you'll like this as well.
Oh, and to correct J. Baybusky's ("janbay37") review above, Mickey is very much a presence in season 3 - I think he's referring to season 4, now airing on A&E (Mickey has indeed left the cast, ostensibly to assist on some score in Australia). Sadly, I agree with his assessment; it's not nearly the same show without him."
The Con is on . . .

"Hustle Season Three is just as fun as the first two seasons. The guest stars are fantastic. The cons are all fun and the marks suitably deserving of being had. The dream like sequences are particularly good this season. The special features could be better on this set, but it is still great. This is a great ensemble cast where the characters are as fun as the story. British tv at its best."
I sure hope there is a season 4!

"Are you tired of the ruinously inane reality shows? Do you enjoy clever writing, terrfic acting, fabulous plots and fun twists at the end? Then the "Hustle" series is for you! For all too brief a time, AMC was airing them on Wednesday nights here in CA. But alas, they are now missing from the line-up, and I'm afraid that nothing so far in the new season is as fun to watch as this show. You must pay attention to see how they pull off the con, and still may get a thrill at the end to see what you thought, is not was is actual. The cast is brilliant, and they really look like they enjoy working with each other tremendously. And I must admit those lovely British accents are a real turn on! I really enjoy good comedy-drama, and I love surprise happy endings, Isn't your daily routine 'reality' enough? I hope there are more episodes to come! Enjoy!!!!"
What a great show!

"This is another terrific season of clever cons, surprise endings, and lots of laughs. There is one clinker in the bunch that strains credulity more than usual (a mark develops amnesia), but this season also features one of the best episodes of the series so far--Mickey (Adrian Lester) and Danny (Marc Warren) square off in a challenge of grifting skills: both are abandoned naked in the middle of town at noon to see who can accumulate the most by the end of the day. I've read that Lester left the show before season 4, so it'll be interesting to see what has become of the show when that season is released."
