Critic Reviews for Deception Season 1
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (4)
As escapist fare, though, it turns the trick, plays its cards well, pulls a rabbit from the hat, etc. Or as ABC might say, "Abracadabra, here's to another Castle."
Platinum-plated nonsense -- but also self-aware enough to know just how nonsensical. Deception is mostly just a lot of fun.
It's all pretty absurd, but the show is too light on its feet to begrudge for long.
Never rising above its hokey premise, the procedural is further sunk by transparent mysteries, hollow supporting characters, and a fatal lack of surprises.
Unfortunately, Deception is a show about the magic of illusion that has a great deal of difficulty being, y'know, magical.
The "Magician helps the FBI fight crime" hook of Deception sounds silly, but the early episodes prove that "silly" isn't the same as "bad."
The storyline is smart.
Deception is fairly charming in spite of its blah procedural trappings thanks to Mr. Cutmore-Scott and his character's bag of tricks and magic team.
Anything is better than this.
Improbable but still fun magic-themed crime drama.
Mush up some MacGyver with a little Leverage and then throw in, well, just about every "Cocky Specialist teams with Perpetually Perturbed FBI Agent" series and you've got Deception.

Apr 02, 2021This is really awfully bad
-
Feb 25, 2021It's an amazing show.. Must watch.. Such a different concept and the work on this show is Spectacular
-
Dec 28, 2020It's just awesome! The plot is amazing! There are, of course, a couple of plot moves that are easy to guess, but this does not deprive the series of its special charm. And the ending, damn it, makes you cry. And the realization that the continuation won't do, makes you cry even more.

Mar 08, 2020Cant believe they cancelled this show, and they HAD to put a major cliffhanger at the end. Was an extremely exciting and fun show however

Oct 23, 2019Although some episodes can be boring (or nevertheless the series does not call you attention), Deception in my opinion is an entertaining series, with a good suspense, surprise that I did not expect, good performances, and above all an ending that can blow your head
