It's a new show I think on TNT, not entirely sure since I get everything from EZTV. So far I am halfway interested it's a modern day Robin Hood where crooks rip off bad people to help out people that have been wronged.

Anyone else watching?

Saw the first episode, bout to watch the second, it's not nearly as good as Hustle.

Watched the first one and thought it tried too hard to be cool. Wife didn't care for it at all, so it's off the DVR.

I watched the first season. It's more interesting to watch a broken man's descent into alcoholism than the heists. It would be a better show if it was more about a barely functional alcoholic who's angry against a system that let his son die than a weekly heist. That being said, it's not the worst show I have ever seen, But I expect the first season to have been the best season unless they make someone else on the team go nearly mad.

I've only seen one episode of this and didn't particularly like it but I totally fell in love with the short, muscle-y, shooty Texas guy.  I love the way he slides around the floor shooting everyone.

The idea behind this show is better at every level than the execution is. Moment by moment, scene by scene, episode by episode, season by season, it promises and then fails to deliver. Never a mistake to watch, but always a disappointment.

if at last you do succeed, never try again

Yes, but it's mostly the sliding around the floor shooting everyone that makes him sexy.  Well, and the muscles.  Hair.  You know.  Accent.

By the way - My sister was watching Criminal Minds the other day.  Is that Xander?  He's really changed a lot.  There's only a tiny bit of his face that looks like what I remember.

Yes he's the boyfriend of Penelope (the geek analyst) on the show.

Um, he kind of... hit a rough patch.  Like.  Really rough, I'm given to understand.

On April 25, 2004, at a Buffy fan convention in Cleveland, Ohio, he announced that he had voluntarily entered rehab for alcoholism.[21]

In the early morning of March 17, 2010 Brendon was tasered and arrested by Los Angeles police, who confronted Brendon in response to a call about an intoxicated individual. Brendon allegedly swung his fists at the officers and attempted to run away, and after being subdued, was arrested for felony vandalism. Brendon was initially held on $20,000 bail.[22][23][24] Brendon was later charged with four misdemeanors, including one count of resisting arrest, two counts of battery against a police officer, and one count of vandalism.[25]

In May 2010, Brendon checked himself into the SOBA Recovery Center in Malibu to address his addiction to alcohol and sleeping pills.[26] On June 19, 2010, Brendon pleaded no contest to all four charges and received a one-year suspended jail sentence, was placed on probation for 36 months, and was required to perform 10 days of community service.[27]
