The Minertaur Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Tempted to give this a watch after seeing a trailer for this yesterday. Anybody seen any episodes? "Giovanni Ribisi plays the role of Marius, a con man who tries to leave his old life behind by assuming the identity of his cell mate, Pete. While Pete's family doesn't have reason to suspect that he is not their long-lost loved one, they are a colorful group with their own secrets and lies that could make life as dangerous as the world Marius was hoping to escape. Marius must find a way to keep his lies from backfiring as he deals with unexpected situations that come his way" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Just watched the 1st episode there, it was ok, Ribisi was excellent and I would probably watch again anyway, but what will make me watch it some more was the big reveal at the end of who the big baddie is!!! Being portrayed by a huge P&B favourite!!! Edited January 20, 2017 by King Kebab 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Watched the first 2 episodes yesterday and really enjoyed them. Fascinating to see how this is all going to fall apart! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) 3rd episode is also excellent. Not had a chance to sit and watch this properly but it's brilliant TV. EDIT - just seen the 4th and the ending with Vince basically spending 5 minutes telling a story was fantastic. So menacing.

Amazed I'm the only person I know who has watched it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 We binge watched it this week and thought it was excellent. Really well written, and brilliant performances from Ribisi and Cranston as always. Cranston’s 5 minute monologue about his early days as a policemen to Eddie was absolutely outstanding, went from sympathetic to fearful to menacing in the blink of an eye, phenomenal acting. Really looking forward to season 2 whenever it might be out, doubtful, but hope Vince features again. “You break it, you buy it”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'm about halfway through the second series, I'm really enjoying it not sure it's quite as good as the first but everything seems to be coming to a head just now. Anyone else come back to it after the first series was so successful? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really well written programme, and not as over the top as some con based programmes (the con's themselves that is). I'll not spoil anything, but would be amazed if there's not a 3rd season of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocketman Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 yeah - I like it as a whole but the scenes and plot directly around Pete are the strongest. The sister searching for her mum - very weak and am tempted to FFwd every time they cut to this. She is a decent character/actress but that plot strand is very weak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ending wasa bit too tidy for me and I'm not sure how much more they can get out of its as an idea. It didnt have an obvious sequal like the last few series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
