Described as engaging, well acted and snappily directed, BBC ONE’s TV drama ‘Hustle’ gained critical success and very respectable viewing figures right from its first episode, resulting in a second series being commissioned while the first was still running.

 Charming, Cunning and Ready for a Con - New York Times   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
"Hustle," a BBC series on AMC, about a gang of high-stakes con artists, is the exception, a refreshing throwback to 1960's caper movies and series like "The Avengers." It's slick, clever and playful: it offers a Cool Britannia that doesn't exist in real life in Britain or on television on either side of the Atlantic.
This Saturday, AMC will hold a "Hustle" marathon, showing reprises of the first six episodes and the premiere of the seventh; it's a chance to see how the series portrays crime as an art with a strict code of conduct.
"Hustle" is the best of this bunch — escapism with an old-fashioned twist: a playful, engaging crime series that cares less about whodunit than how.

There is an echo of the BBC's superlative spy drama Spooks in this brilliant series; not on the surface - this is a show with an unmistakeably brighter texture, despite the sometimes rough subject material - but in its rhythm, tone and intricacy.
Hustle is, quite simply, a sexy, sexy show.
The target in this episode is a restaurant owner with some shady connections, Johnny Keyes (Stanley Townsend), who is anxious to learn the whereabouts of a son taken by gang rivals many years earlier.
