The Con Is On!

I take quite a liking into British series. I don't think it needed anymore explanation to it. It's different somehow. Another British series that I'm hooking up with is Hustle. To put it similar term to American series is Leverage but in more cooler way than Leverage. Hustle strictly about con man; and their long con game. Long con is con which involved complicated scheme than short con which always yield better results in term of monetary. Long con is like pyramid scheme. So, what so great about this series? First, it's all about long con. Second, it's all about 6 episodes per season. Yeah, shorter than mini series of American series. Third, it's brilliant.

The series itself doesn't involved much of hacking but more on social engineering and confident trick. The success of the con most of the time not involving hacking at all. I also found that the way they construct the con and the explanation come after the con successful just amazing. The emotion and dialogue is witty and real enough, unlike Leverage.

I just finish watching season 6 of Hustle. I found the cast of season 5 become better in term of chemistry and the con become more complicated. I like the mouse and cat games between Mickey Brick's team with Police and MI6. Brilliant, just brilliant. The witty dialogue and fourth wall breaking still there, make me feel at home. Season 6 brought back Kelly Adams (Emma) and Matt Di Angelo (Sean) with the original cast of Adrian Lester (Mickey), Robert Glenister (Ash) and Robert Vaughn (Albert).

What can I say? Just go and watch the season 6. :)

  1. Hehe... tak tgk gak. I think you really like series yang orang tak berapa tengok.

    And seperti biasa aku hanya tumpu pada American series. Kenkadang jepun.

    But usually British series memang banyak yg break normal story telling barriers, then American adopt the story.
