Did anyone check this out?
Frickin' awesome!
Writing and acting is great.
I just watched ep 1 and have 2 queued up on the DVR. I'd watch it right now but I have to wake up in 6 hours... :sigh:

This is now my 2nd fave show after Life.

Please tell me you saw this. :)
If not... go check it out. You won't be disappointed.

I thought about watching it, but forgot. Timothy Hutton is a really good actor.

Random Trivia: Timothy Hutton's father, Jim Hutton, co-starred with John Wayne in the 1968 film The Green Berets. He played Sgt Petersen.

Saw the second ep, I think. It was kinda bizarre seeing the dude who played the 'evil lawyer' Lindsay from Angel playing some sort of commando dude...

It did seem to be a cool show, 'though. Very 'to catch a thief' ish.

I totally love this show. I wasn't going to watch it because I have been so disappointed with pretty much every tv show I've seen this year, but my husband convinced me, and I am totally hooked.
Favorite quote: "She is twenty pounds of crazy in a five pound bag."

So THAT's who he is. I was trying to remember that.

I love her!

"There's something wrong with you." hahaha

Yeah...I think I'm in love with Parker.

The Christian Kane character is cool too. I've missed him since his Lindsey McDonald days.

"It's a very distinctive sound..." :D

I was extra surreal, 'cause Bones comes on right after. It's like an Angel reunion, only, not, 'cause they're on different shows...

Yeah, well, the evil end chick from Angel was on Bones too... freaky. :)

Holy crap, I saw her there and thought 'It's Zoe!' and forgot entirely that she was also in Angel. :)

It's a rip off of "Hustle", just showing once again a total lack of any creative ideas from American TV.

I watched the premier but it lacked the wimsy and flair of the British version so I'm probaly not going to watch it again.

I liked Hustle too!
...and Heist.

[Andrew Crossett]

All team heist shows are essentially ripoffs of the original "Ocean's Eleven."

I never even heard of "Hustle" until a couple of days ago.

"I'm sorry that it was too far away for you to punch. That must really frustrate you." LULZ!
"It has a very distinctive sound." hahahah
