    This is the sort of classy entertainment we used to find on A&E before that channel got bit by the reality bug.

    Has the sharpness of the recent remakes of "Italian Job" and "Ocean's Eleven."

    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.

    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 all delightfully phony, but will win your faith on charm and panache.

    This is a show that has to be watched with full attention since it unfolds so quickly through endless twists and turns.

    It's a fluffy hour of flimflam, spun with silk and told with a wink.

    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."

    [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.

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

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