Hustle

x-on:racoon Leverage is based on this series. So yes it's similar

Just watched the first season (6 episodes) and it is a bit disappointing to be honest. The atmosphere is nice and light but someone has apparently forced the directors to watch "The Sting" before every shot and asked them to do better if they can. And as far as I am concerned, this series goes wrong every episode over and over again. The little bit more that they try makes most of what I've seen so far become unbelievable, something that you as a scammer (I may assume) can do without. The fact that they are even going to copy tics from "The Sting" (just "inconspicuously" with your finger passing the nose to signal) really doesn't make it any better unless you want to con a 12-year-old who has never seen the film. As much as I could appreciate him as a young boy in his role of Napoleon Solo, Robert Vaughn was not Robert Redford or Paul Newman at the time and after all these years he still isn't, no matter how hard he tries to do his best. I can hope that the series will at least improve in the following seasons, otherwise I also consider doing a disappearing truck myself.
