Has the sharpness of the recent remakes of "Italian Job" and "Ocean's Eleven."
-
Stylish, intricate and entertaining.
-
This is the sort of classy entertainment we used to find on A&E before that channel got bit by the reality bug.
-
Hustle... does have style. [13 Jan 2006, p.72]
-
The show has loads of energy and charm, which is a necessity for a series whose storylines are not only implausible but, at times, not even remotely believable.
-
This is good fun -- not necessarily substantial, but fun nonetheless.
-
It's an entertaining hour sure to appeal to fans of A&E's equally fast-paced British import "MI-5."
-
Once you get past the relatively stiff opening episode and everyone relaxes and starts having fun, "Hustle" is an undemanding good time that manages to rack your nerves even when you know better.
-
It's a fluffy hour of flimflam, spun with silk and told with a wink.
-
This is a show that has to be watched with full attention since it unfolds so quickly through endless twists and turns.
-
It's all delightfully phony, but will win your faith on charm and panache.
-
[A] pleasantly distracting drama.
-
Its hipster appeal feels a bit too calculated for my tastes, even though the cast, headed be Robert Vaughn, is undeniably appealing.

SusanL.Mar 1, 2008Fun capers, fun cons. Watch for the shows with Adrian Lester. The 4th season does miss him.

RicardoP.Nov 7, 2007The show is still great, but Adrian Lester had a real mysterious facet that is now missing. Hope he comes back.
