A sophisticated band of con artists fleeces the greedy and corrupt "marks" they encounter in London. Initially, they are led by Mickey Stone, a master of very complicated "long cons" whom the police acknowledge as being in a class of his own. When Mickey heads to Australia to set up a major job, he is replaced by his protege, Danny Blue, an impetuous former pickpocket who unfortunately keeps forgetting to come up with a "Plan B" in case a con goes awry.

This tries far too hard to achieve something which should be effortless - a sense of cool - and thereby falls flat on its well-crafted face. Go to Full Review Alynda Wheat Entertainment Weekly 03/09/2018

It's a tidy bit of business run by Mickey Bricks, who seems a touch too slight to carry the weight of the long con on his shoulders. But he, like Hustle, does have style. Go to Full Review Joy Press Village Voice 02/24/2004
Hustle replicates the downside of current blockbuster movies, too often resembling a liqueur commercial. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aly L 01/19/2025 It’s cute. And it poses something that even the best of the most recent shows lack — the more gentle, sophisticated and witty trolling of a system. No one tells you boldly what to do, which team to follow and what agenda to believe. This team of con artists plays tricks on the unsuspecting marks, which is of course not good. But are the marks flawless? No. Many of them built their wealth on scheming much greater cons. Authorities of all sorts being largely involved in all that as well. It’s still questionable if the marks, however flawless they are, should be punished this way, but okay. Mickey seems to be acting out of the sense of revenge. But never looks fully satisfied with the fact of revenge itself. Yes, he punished some participants, managed to trick the system, but he is unable to change the system. At least not in this manner. The show itself is likable and funny, too. Love the characters and the cast. It’s also always charming that show creators let Marc Warren present his sleight of hand skills :) See more BrimstoneDragonPete 07/17/2023 One of the Greatest shows made for British TV See more 02/29/2020 Great entertainment.
