The Brooklyn Potash

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.

Well ... as expected the 10 hours of watching "fake Pete" in action have paid off , filled with thrill and drama ,, a con after another a web of lies and truths all being uncovered ,, the excitement was at peak up until the end ,, and even then .. Pete remains as Pete :D

The plot was still of Marius Josipovic being entangled with his "new family" and as being dragged into their drama ... the new cons this season were brilliant ,, so unpredictable and you wouldn't really know who's gonna scam whom.

The cast was amazing, they've known each others for what !! 3-4 years now ,and the chemistry shows that .. the due of Giovanni Ribisi and Marin Ireland was genius and back and forth and level of tension when they're around each other is entertaining to watch ,, the character of Taylor Bowman (Shane McRae) have grown noticeably and introducing Lizzie (Efrat Dor) added so much to the danger element ... and of course not forgetting the other characters that brought up that quick comedic lines here and there to soften up the tension ,, "Real Pete" for instance was amazingly naive and funny in one of the episodes.

What I liked most about how it all ended (supposing it is ending, no news for a renewal yet) is that it shows how good of a person Marius is "or at least tries to be" and it opened his emotional side right at the end.

Amazon and all the other online streaming services are just ruling the market in class .. they might not have that long list program filling all the slots like NBC, CBS and ABC ,, but they surely do have that high class, skyrocket ratings for a long remembered TV shows.

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.

This is a great series in the quality of Breaking Bad. Thank you Bryan Cranston. I would have rated it a 10 if it wasn't for the unfortunate choice of casting Giovanni Ribisi in the lead.... who is a continuously bad actor. Does he suck lemons prior to delivering his lines? He always makes the same squinty face in every scene that just gets to you after an episode or two. Doesn't matter if he is sad happy, angry, or indifferent,. it is the same lemon face.

I wonder. They didn't show Ricky Jay's face in this last ep. As he collected his reward. I wonder if he passed before this ep. Was shot. Sad. RIP Good Sir Ricky Jay. We miss you. +1 Star

The final scene is set as all the players congregate at the SANTA ANITA RACE TRACK! I know this place well since I grew up there.

Everything goes pretty smoothly but of course Lizzie shows up to get her money and Marius saves Julia from death and screws over Lizzie again.

Everything works out just fine in what I guess this turned out to be the series finale??? Sad. Thank you David Shore and Bryan Cranston for giving us 3 seasons of cons and grifts and double dealings.

6/10.
