Variety Phil Gallo

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

Washington Post Chip Crews

Stylish, intricate and entertaining.

TV Guide Matt Roush

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

New York Post Adam Buckman

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.

Entertainment Weekly Alynda Wheat

Hustle... does have style. [13 Jan 2006, p.72]

Hollywood Reporter Marilyn Moss

This is good fun -- not necessarily substantial, but fun nonetheless.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen

It's an entertaining hour sure to appeal to fans of A&E's equally fast-paced British import "MI-5."

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd

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.

Wall Street Journal Nancy DeWolf Smith

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

Time James Poniewozik

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

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert

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

Village Voice Joy Press

[A] pleasantly distracting drama.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland

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.

Alice M. gave it a9:
Hope Hustle is returning!

Ricardo P. gave it an8:
The show is still great, but Adrian Lester had a real mysterious facet that is now missing. Hope he comes back.

Mark T. gave it a10:
Great show, bring back Adrian Lester

Richard H gave it a6:
This wasn't a bad episode but there were far better ones in the first 3 series. The show certainly misses Adrian Lester and I hope he comes back in the future.

Vick H gave it a10:
Awesome Show!!! Great actors, great story, and super smart! What more could you want?!?!

Ricardo P gave it a10:
I too stumbled upon the show while surfing. The cartoonish but thought-provoking opening, along with the catchy theme music hooked me in a second. I haven't been sorry yet. For all of the good reasons stated by others who gave it a 10, publicity might kill it. It's not your average mindless junk. A smaller audience makes me feel better.
