Hustle is back!
Anyone who knows me knows that I don't watch much TV that doesn't come in the form of a flat disc in a red Netflix envelope, or 300-pound guys slamming each other into the astroturf. I even somehow lost track of Battlestar Galactica this season, though I adore the show.But tonight at 10PM on AMC (American Movie Classics), the BBC hit show Hustle returns for its fourth season, and I'll be there.
Hustle is about a group of British con artists (except for Robert Vaughn, who plays an American) who pull off the most mind-boggling, audacious scams--but always on people who deserve it, of course. The show is delightful and intelligent and--heck, just watch it. Though it has story threads that weave throughout the seasons, each episode stands alone.
Ciara, the heroine of my vampire books, is a former con artist (only not so much former), so I started watching Hustle last year for "research purposes." Because I'm pretty much a Puritan who won't do anything fun unless it's also work-related.
Luckily my work is writing novels, not calculating actuarial tables.

Luckily it's an ensemble show, so it can stand losing one of its members without collapsing. I thought Wednesday night's episode was great.
