I started watching Hustle based on the vastly positive reviews on IMDb. I haven't learned the lesson, which is never to trust high ratings!
Hustle is barely likable "light watch", with close to zero plausibility and sophistication. Twists are highly predictable, sometimes counterproductive and can produce a tangy aftertaste
What really annoys me most is the way they demonstrate the conartists as highly moral ethics abiding Robbin Hood'ishs who only con those who are greedy or overpowered. Well, WTF! I'm not advocating moral purity in drama, I'm only saying that it sounds like a ridiculous children tale!
Moreover, characters, specially Stacey, do not have consistent mannerism that we can relate to. They just play "charming antihero" each in his/her own way, which create a lot of dissonance in any barely functioning brain!
I'm almost done with Season 2. Most reviewers say it went downhill after Season 3. If what I saw is its peak then thank you, I'll stop here!
