The Brooklyn Potash

The beginning of the season starts up and builds up wonderfully, everything leads up to this episode. It is so satisfying to see everything works out and the process has been entertaining to watch. The complex story line throughout the season has always engages me as the characters discover more bit by bit.

Hopefully there are more seasons to come, the plot is brilliant and the chemistry between the cast is wonderful, especially Giovanni Ribisi and Marin Ireland.

...and how we ended up here - even if it required a whole lot of patience and grimacing. But for those who stuck it out to now, we are reminded of the on screen chemistry that Giovanni Ribisi has with the rest of this wonderful regular cast. In the end it mattered not what the scheme or the running con was (admittedly, I think most of us couldn't care less with the whole Sy Rubinek, vintage wine, or stolen paintings affair), but it was always been about Marius Josipovic wrestling with his inner intuitions of being a conman with the newfound love that he has for his surrogate family. And in turn, it is the family who also must learn to fall in love with a version of Pete, and find that they must turn to him whenever they fall get into trouble. What started out as Marius conning the Bernhardts, ends us as the Bernhardts conning Marius into leaving his past life behind. So who really conned who?

That was the magic of Sneaky Pete, and even despite the awful narrative of this Season 3, I will chose to remember this series for its heartfelt, impactful, and introspective moments.

By far one of the best TV shows I've ever seen. Hilarious acting, great humor and perfect timing. An OUTSTANDING example of storytelling that unfortunately comes to an end with this season since a fourth one will officially not be produced.

The one who commented below, seriously? His face is exactly a face of a cone man. I think he is a great actor and I wouldn't see the show be better with someone else.

And so, the third and final season of "Sneaky Pete". I've enjoyed the first two but I'm glad that the show isn't dragging out the attempts to keep the whole family in the dark for much longer.

With Julia (Marin Ireland) now knowing the truth about Marius (Giovanni Ribisi) she debates telling the rest of the family, as Marius tries to extricate himself from the situation - though his feelings for them make it more difficult than he thought. He's offered an opportunity though, when an old friend, Lizzie (Efrat Dor) offers him a chance to join a score that she's putting together. Marjorie (Alison Wright) has strong feelings that Marius shouldn't do it and refuses to offer her support this time.

I'm torn between the fact that I really enjoyed all three seasons of "Sneaky Pete" and being happy that it's ended before it's high wire act of con artistry transferred from familiar fun to repetitive. This is probably as complex as the show can realistically get too, with Marius attempting to control two (or possibly three) cons at the same time each of which has its own (sometimes opposing) desirable outcomes. Efrat Dor is not the only newcomer for this season, with "Suits" Patrick Adams as a key character alongside a pair of faces who are unfortunately no longer with us, M. Emmet Walsh and Ricky Jay.

Again, its' a lot of fun watching Marius juggle all these issues and desires. The seasons secondary story sees the family come to Los Angeles trying to find out whether Audrey's other daughter is still alive, as Maggie suggested.

I'm OK with the ending which, though there were stories that could have been further explored, doesn't end on a cliffhanger and is satisfying enough. If you're on the fence about "Sneaky Pete" I'd say that it's underappreciated and underloved and certainly worth the time investment.
