I've been lucky enough to get to see this terrific series, again, after an absence of several years - thanks to Prime. This is one of the most consistently entertaining shows I've ever seen, in any genre. The writing was always great, mixing suspense with humor; the cast was outstanding; and it has one of the catchiest themes and opening animation sequences in television history. It hits all the right notes.

One of the great things the writers managed to do throughout the entire series was to give each character a lead in a caper, which added to the enjoyment for viewers. It gave us a chance to see the different approaches the gang members took to setting up and executing a con. That's rare in most shows, which tend to focus on one or two characters week in and week out.

If you've never seen this, definitely give it a try.

I stumbled upon this while browsing and am really glad that I did. It's a very entertaining and imaginative show. Excellent performances by the entire cast. A wonderful tie-up to end the series, too. Great writing and acting. It stands out with so many utterly lame "reality" shows of one kind or another on now. An original idea, and the script shines. Plus, what isn't good that includes Christopher Walken?

I decided to give this series a shot after suffering through the tedious movie version several years ago. Well, this wasn't an improvement. If you pay attention, there's really not much of a story, and what story there actually is, isn't interesting. The characters are shallow, and didn't have storylines that stirred the viewer; the plot such as it is plods along; and is simply a dull, dull story. I truly do not understand the attraction of this novel, nor why producers thought making it twice was a good idea.
