This entire series is filled with Con Artists and their abilities to pull off amazing cons. Have never seen anything like this and I was hooked from the beginning. The plot starts as a family drama and slowly weaves in a con plot while rapidly picking up pace and creating the tensest experience one could have watching TV.
Each season is better than the previous one. Amazing plot in the 3rd season as well and felt a bit hurried in the 9th and 10the episode. Anyways, I was completely hooked! Cheers to the actors, directors and producers! It's masterfully crafted and if you’re looking for a fun series to watch give this one a try.
