Sneaky Pete

I have been looking forward to S3 for a while since I binge-watched the first two last year. Those 20 episodes contain some of the most fast-paced, tense and almost anxiety-inducing elements in a TV show since - dare I say it - "Breaking Bad". Lots of tremendous acting especially by Giovanni Ribisi, great characters, setups and mini-payoffs building up to a grand finale for each season.

S3 was off to a great start and I whipped through the first 4 episodes in a row but honestly, I started losing general interest halfway through. Ribisi and McRae visibly grow tired of their respective characters and there are lot of strange, forced throwaway scenes. Overall the acting/writing sort of just fizzles towards the end with each mini-payoff just barely necessary to a climax half as exciting compared to the previous seasons.

I noticed a complete lack of return of the writing and production staff from those first two seasons - especially Graham Yost, a master screenwriter of the fast-paced action-thriller genre. There are a couple of great moments especially in the beginning but overall not nearly as good as the first two seasons. The show needs to do itself a favor and get Yost back in the screenwriting chair for the next season if there is one.

Unfortunately S3 knocks my IMDb rating down to a 7 for overall show - S1/2 are a solid 9.

Sneaky Pete was so much better than I expected it to be. It was one of the first series for Amazon before it became such a powerful streaming service so it was promoted the way it would be today so a lot of people haven't heard about it. Giovanni Ribisi plays a con man named Marius Josipovic who takes on the identity of his cellmate and goes into hiding with his estranged family from a gangster. The way they set up and execute the cons are fascinating. Ribisi is just phenomenal in this, it's probably his best role of his career. This series is so good that I binged all three seasons as fast as I could and it left me wanting more. If you haven't seen this yet then do yourself a favor and watch this as soon as you can.

Unfortunately I'm afraid many won't make it long enough to see how good this show really is!! At episode 3 I was nearly ready to call it quits and I'm glad I didn't because the show really evolved into something unlike anything else I've ever watched. Sneaky Pete is a slow starter but wants it gets going you'll find it binge watch worthy with its interesting story line and characters you find that you're growing attached too. Giovanni Ribisi is excellent and at his best, and Bryan Cranston plays a great supporting role as he never disappoints.

Although I find Netflix the better value I respect Amazon's quality over quantity perspective. I've found that I am entertained by almost every show they create have created.

Sneaky Pete is such an excellent and entertaining series! It's a show about cons, lies, deception, family, relationships, etc., etc. And tells it in such an amazing way that you can't wait to see the next episode! It was one of the best Amazon originals and got cancelled after 3 seasons for god knows why? Even though it ended it on a cliffhanger it's still definitely worth watching, it's not the kind of cliffhanger that will ruin the show for you. Once you start this amazing series you won't be able to stop watching it until you've binged the entire series so make sure you give yourself enough time to watch it. I promise you that it's worth every second!

The show got an amazing story .. the plot is so original and catchy , upping the level of Thrill and Drama as this could be one of the best Summer/Fall shows this year.

The script is so fast and connected ,, there is not even a single minute where you feel bored or less intrigued specially on (when Walter White is gonna appear :D ).. David Shore bravoo ,, he's so damn experience .. did an amazing job on "House M.D." and on the prematurely and insanely cancelled show "Battle Creek" >> so he knows how to make a show interesting and high rated.

As for the cast; The last i'v seen Giovanni Ribisi was on Ted but on a show it was on "Dads" and it was good but it was a whole lot different character yet here !! gosh this guy is freakishly talented ... and i love Margo Martindale she's amazing and finally let's not forget to mention the genius Bryan Cranston where just mentioning his name made a huge publicity to the show months before the pilot.

Overall,, Amazon is on the verge of great chance to making a TV new Hit show and yes they have the right to only order a pilot to see how the viewers will respond .. i can assure you Amazon or CBS that we want more .. we wanna see the full story of "Pete" the sneaky fox ;)
