Albert Stroller (Robert Vaughn), who is being detained at her Majesty’s pleasure, comes up with an ingenious plan to encourage Mickey “Bricks” Stone (Adrian Lester) to put together a new band of “grifters” who con the rich and the greedy Robin Hood-style.
A change in cast gives this series a fresh look. Mickey is joined by the Kennedy siblings (Matt di Angelo and Kelly Adams) – a little young and rough around the edges but more than capable of giving the original characters a run for their money. Finally, Bill Bailey’s highly amusing cameos are the icing on the cake.
Although there are moments with cringe-worthy stereotypes Hustle is still great TV, in this, its fifth season. It is humorous right until the end of the series leaving you chuckling with satisfaction and a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
5 stars
