this show is nowhere near as good as burn notice. really too predictable. you could see it coming up broadway. i think the premise will wear pretty thin in a hurry, assuming it even makes it to a regular show. the cast is likable enough and the acting is ok, but the writing has a long way to go to beat the "been there, done that" feel. |

i loved it in a slick, funny ocean's 11 kind of way, kinda like a lightweight version of the uk show hustle. i hope that the coming episodes are able to keep up the pace because that was a breath of fresh air. |

predictable - agreed. and a bit naff in terms of script, gadgetry, characterisation, and even the dodgy jazzy background "thief" music. the idea is good. it just could have been more intelligently made. |

enjoyable so far, we'll see how it goes. it's a lot like hustle, a bit like eyes, but not really all that much like burn notice. |

this was an excellent pilot. i always enjoy timothy hutton's work. loved him in the nero wolfe series. he manages to not quite take himself too seriously even when playing a semi-tragic figure such as he does in this episode. i will look forward to watching the rest of this season. tnt has ordered 13 episodes and they will run later this year. many thanks to the uploader. |

i thought it was outstanding. hustle was ok but got boring fairly quickly; it thought it was smarter than it was. it wasn't bad, it just wasn't the bee's knees like you brits keep saying. but then again you may not have "gotten" it. like how the american version of "the office" is a thousand times better to us yanks simple because we don't know what the frak you guys are talking about in the original one, we just don't get the local references. doesn't mean we're stupid, just means we don't live in england. oh, and i loved the "it crowd" reference, i saw it coming and i was like, "say it... say it... yes!" i was laughing my butt off. though i'll bet most of us yanks won't get it. anyway, great show. really well done. great acting and solid writing make this one a winner. hope it stays this strong. |

i also thought it had a burn notice-esque feeling too it, and i enjoyed it. i have to agree that it will be tough to keep the same plot rolling without some more story injected in, but it was a fun romp with good characters that were diverse and witty. ocean's 11 indeed. a good use of an hour, and that's what we're here for, right? |

yes. "dear mr. monkey. i have illegally downloaded your tv show, despite the fact that it airs on a tiny cable network desperate for as many viewers as it can get. yours sincerely, the guys who tanked your last pilot by downloading that, too." i'm not sure how well that will go down with him. |

wow. i don't agree at all. then again, i haven't watched a lot of british tv shows because as the other viewer stated i live in the u.s. and i don't get a lot of the language references so it winds up not being so interesting (although i did love "the palace"). this show didn't remind me of burn notice at all, probably because i group shows by the story they are telling, not any component of it. i loved this pilot! i can't wait for the show to start - i just hope it's still available to us once it does. the cast was great! loved the rebellious blonde chick (beth riesgraf) who (i think someone edited something with spoilers in it a few pre-airs ago so i won't complete that sentence). the computer guy (aldis hodge) reminds me of the guy from police academy (way back in the day) that did all the funny noises, the other guy (christian kane) reminds me of brad pitt (mannerisms). not all that fond of hutton, but i guess i just need time for him to grow on me. oh and gina bellman was wonderful too. i can't wait to see more of this show. i don't have any complaints about it and i must really be naive because i didn't see it coming. i didn't see them getting caught, but i didn't see the ending the way it was. loved the chicago setting. i've never been there, but i recognize a lot of the shooting sites from early edition.

this was really good. very like hustle(bbc) but i enjoyed it a lot. the episode sort of lost it's momentum briefly in the middle but regained it by the end, and since it's only a pilot i predict great things for the real season. |

since they probably leaked it intentionally and are reading this, just want to say, i really liked the show, looking forward to more episodes! ocean's 11, robin hood, this is a show people can really enjoy watching. and i can approve because it's not wildly inaccurate in the technical aspect like many movies and tv shows are (if you want to see the worst of what i mean, watch "enemy of the state" with gene hackman and will smith) |

oh, lordy. christian kane kicking ass, and not even bothering to hide that deliciously sexy accent. what more could a girl ask for? well, i guess if i had to say...then maybe one of the "undercover" jobs could involve him singing. oh yeah. the thought of that just made my night... |
