Board 8 > Sneaky Pete is awesome and the best new show of the year

(+) Yeah! (+)

Super duper great show spearheaded by Bryan Cranston amd the team behind Justified as well as some people from The Americans. It's about a con man assuming the identity of someone else, integrating into their family to rob them and use the money to save his brother from a super evil Cranston.

I assume it didn't catch on and explode like it should have because the first episode is tonally and stylistically different than the rest of the show, but man if you get to episode two you're golden. The entire writing and production team was replaced by Graham Yost and the Justified team for everything but the pilot!

I'm very much just ranting and raving with no coherence. Watch the show.

What's it on? What tone does it take?

It's on Amazon Prime. The first episode is kind of like a CBS procedural, but a good one. After that, it's a serious heist show along the lines of The Sting with some funny moments. Writing and dialogue like something out of an Elmore Leonard novel which makes sense because of Yost. The writing is exceptionally clever and fairly unpredictable but never cheap or lazy.

Sounds cool, thanks. I don't have Amazon Prime, but I'll keep an eye out in case I can catch it another time.

I liked it a lot.
