[Enos is] kind of fun, especially when she’s matching wits with the veteran Krause. And Krause is perfect. He’s smooth, suave and charming. You’re rooting as much for him to elude Enos as you are for Enos to catch him. Let’s hope this chase lasts awhile. Read full review

It’s heightened reality at its finest as Vaughan and her associates (Elvy Yost, Jay Hayden and Rollins) proceed to track down the con artists who hacked them and stop them before too much damage is done. Read full review

The Catch contains all the ingredients we've come to expect from the folks at Shondaland: glossy production values, a diverse cast, hyper-articulate dialogue, hairpin plot twists and lots of eye candy and writhing hips. If you've been a fan, you'll surely want to take another ride on the roller coaster. If that stuff makes you want to spit at your TV, it's best that you keep your distance. Read full review

The first episode sets up a storyline with limited long-term potential, but it’s entertaining and stylish enough to be worth following to see where it leads. Read full review

Fans of USA's White Collar might enjoy the cat-and-mouse game that ensues, though I'd argue that the relationship between its con artist, Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), and FBI agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) was (in a totally bro way) a more compelling romance than this one.... Krause, who looks the way he always does, even when his character's trying to look different, isn't all that convincing a con man, but maybe that's exactly what's required of a con man.

[The Catch] mostly just feels tired, like a TNT caper show that futilely seeks to derive energy from visual gimmicks, like split screens and slo-mo. Based strictly on the premiere, the show is hardly a disaster, but nor does it offer much incentive to see what maze-like corners this cat-and-mouse game will explore. Read full review

It's a laborious, cliched bit of retread television. Read full review

I am so impressed with this show. It's the best thing I've seen in a long time. The plots are terrific - interesting and fun and the actors are superb - A+. It's my favorite show this season! Hope it's around for years to come.

Excellent. Funny. Exciting. Smartish, Am sure dialogues can get a little smarter. Beautiful nice likeable cheeky characters. The American actors have this twinkle in their eyes which makes it hard to take them seriously. The Brits are absolutely hilarious portraying believable characters.Excellent. Funny. Exciting. Smartish, Am sure dialogues can get a little smarter. Beautiful nice likeable cheeky characters. The American actors have this twinkle in their eyes which makes it hard to take them seriously. The Brits are absolutely hilarious portraying believable characters. Great props too. The tech used provides a realistic look at how simple it is to be traced and conned. Educational. Nice to not having to see gore and blood and not having to listen to unnecessary profanities. Great show. Looking forward to season two. The women's dresses and the music btw: best of any series this year..… Expand

She the co-owner of a high end private detective agency called AVI. Her partner and BFF is Valerie Anderson. Alice is scheduled to marry her fiance Christopher Hall (Peter Krause). Alice seems to have the perfect life... but not for long. Her investigative skills are apparently on the fritz. Christopher is actually pumping her for intel about her rich clients. After one last scam, he disappears with the stolen goods and Alice's self respect. The rest of the season is spent in a cat and mouse game between Alice and Chris (call him Ben please).

"The Catch" reminds me a lot of "The Thomas Crown Affair"-- the excellent 1999 remake with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. Both are smart, sexy and sophisticated. While the lead character in the movie works alone, Ben is part of a group known as the Kenginston Firm. There's Margot (who is also he on again/off again bed buddy) and Reggie. The team must perform a series of heists in order to repay a debt to a "benefactor". I wont spoil it for you but we learn more about him later. Allegiances change throughout the season. It's impossible to figure out who is playing who. Can Ben be trusted or is he just playing a really loooong con. Will the AVI, Kensington or the FBI win in the end?… Expand

this show was pretty good and I think it will get even better as the season go's on I do agree with other reviewers that the lead male character was kind of off and should be recast before they get canceled because of no chemistry between the leads who are supposed to be in love

Miscasting of the lead male character shot this pilot in the foot for me. Peter Krause seemed uncomfortable in the character's skin, which lead to about zero chemistry between he and the Alice character. I didn't find the pairing compelling at all, which meant the rest of the story didn'tMiscasting of the lead male character shot this pilot in the foot for me. Peter Krause seemed uncomfortable in the character's skin, which lead to about zero chemistry between he and the Alice character. I didn't find the pairing compelling at all, which meant the rest of the story didn't make it off the launch pad.

Not likely to watch more of this new show. Only caught the repeat of the first one as it was in the "Castle" slot. Found it actually unsettling to watch in the second half hour due to the characterizations.… Expand
