After all is done, I find myself having mixed emotions about Hustle.
On the plus side, the return of Adrian Lester is a great and wonderful
thing. Robert Glenister and Robert Vaughn were wonderful as always.
Even Rob Jarvis was on the mark. I also liked that the writers took
some interesting turns here. "Return of the Prodigal" brought the new
crew together with Albert pooling the strings from behind bars.
"Politics" was (IIRC) the only time where the crew let the mark (in
this case, a MP) have the opportunity to do the right thing. I also
liked that they did not immediately have Mickey and Emma hook up.
These moves keep a show fresh.

However, not everything worked for me. For one thing, there was too
little Albert. I am not sure if they cut back on Robert Vaughn's work
load because of his age/condition, but he was absent for far too long
in this series. Also, while I eventually liked the character of Emma,
I find her brother Sean to be an irritant, even with his great memory
skills. We need Sean to be less of a pain the next go-around.

In the end, I guess problematic Hustle is better than no Hustle at all
(which was where I thought we were a few months ago). If they can get
the bugs fixed, though, we will be in good shape.

Later,

Will

Hi

Ever wanted a Hustle email address.

I set one up for us.

Go to :

http://hustle.zzn.com

Let me know what you think of it.

Take care

~Sam~

I think they mean for Sean and Emma to be the new eye candy. Emma
might pull it off; she certainly has more of a variety of looks than
Stacie. Sean, on the other hand, is not impressing me right now.

Later,

Will

I am not sure. OTOH, I am not sure if Mickey was posing as an
American, a British, or an Australian Naval officer. I didn't think
the shoulder boards were British, but I need to review that and get
back to you.

Leave it to us Americans to be disrespectful. :)

Perhaps, but I have seen other shows botch this sort of thing before
as well.

Speaking of things that bug me, Sean really bugs me. Puts Danny (and
Billy) into perspective.

Agreed. Eddie is the Everyman in this group.

It is possible. Series four seemed a bit off balance without Mickey
and to lose Danny, Stacie, and (for a lot of the time) Albert may
really tip the scales.

Hi

Was it me or did they salute the American way, not the English way on
the first episode?

The English way is having the palm of your hand facing outwards, and
the back to your forehead.  Reason for this dates back through
centuries as it was thought disrespectful to the person you were
saluting to see the dirty side of your hand.

You'd think that for a programme like this they'd get that little
morsel right at least.

Things like this really bug me.

Any one else have any little things that irritate.

As for the series, it does show potential, although the new kid on the
block is, in my opinion, too much of an idiot to be a grifter.

One thing I'm sooooo extremely happy with is that Rob Jarvis (Eddie)
has a bigger part.  I loved him from the first 4 series, and always
thought it would be nice to have him as a main main character.

Although I have to agree too that we need Danny back for some
eye-candy.  Personally I think they will, wrongly, lose viewers
because of his absence.

Take care

episode one was a bit of slow burner- two sets of grifters was good
twist, though i guessed the fake wall quite early.

the new characters have some promise, though (like most on here?),
I misss the others- are they coming back later in the series,
or next time around? we need some eye candy!

Has anyone heard how many episodes we have for this series/season?

Thanks,

Will

LIKES:

The return of Mickey (still as smooth as they come).
Ash is still around, thank goodness.
Emma has potential even though I like Stacie better.

DISLIKES:
Albert being in jail and not regularly on the team.
Miss Danny and Stacie A LOT.
Hate Sean; Danny was so much better as the young apprentice grifter.

IN CONCLUSION:

I am not as happy with this series as previous ones. I understand
actors come and go and that Robert Vaughn is not as spry as he once
was, but I think that these changes are not as effective as they could
be. Still, Mickey, Ash, and (possibly) Emma are enough to keep me
watching.

HUSTLE'S BACK...

SO IT'S ABOUT TIME WE STARTED MAKING THIS 'THE' PLACE TO BE FOR HUSTLE
FANS.

THE NEW SERIES, WHAT DO YOU LIKE?  WHAT DON'T YOU LIKE?

SO COME ON, LET'S GET TALKING AGAIN

Hi !

I am new here.

Hustle is broadcasted in my country (Belgium) once a week - and we are
now starting the 4th series.

I have been told that there is still no confirmation for a 5th series.

Is there any hope there will be one ?

Is there any possibility to send mails, sign a 'petition' to convince
de producers to continue this excellent programme ?

Thierry, Belgium.

Saw her playing Dexter's NA sponsor. She is edgier in this than in
Hustle but still good.

Later,

Will

Hi!

I'm new on this group too, and, of course, love Hustle.

I'm from the US, and currently near the beginning of season 3. How far
along are you with the series? And - the big questions - Who is your
favortie character and which episodes do you like best?

Hi

Well season 4 is now over so I think it's about time we got to
chatting about it.

So what did you think?

Who was the best character this year?

Was Danny a good leader?

Which one was the best con?

Has the show lost the plot?


Come on, I'm sure you've got some ideas and thoughts.. We're the only
Hustle newsgroup on here so lets keep it alive in honour of the show.

Talk to you soon..

~Sam~

Hi

As I said before I can be there usually whatever time if you just
want a chat.. even if it's just to say 'Hello'.. :-D

So as long as I know when, about when that is I'll be there.. promise.

I was just in the chat room with our fearless leader, Sam. I was also
watching this weeks Hustle at the same time and it occurred to me, if
AMC is shows Hustle as reruns at the same day and time, it could be a
convenient to set a weekly chat time for right after the show is over on
Wednesdays.

I haven't heard if Hustle will still be shown on Wednesdays at 10.

If it is, what does everyone think of this as a chat time?
