Deception - Magie des Verbrechens

I love this show! It is such fun, so exciting. My family looks forward to it every week. I just read that this was canceled 2 days ago and I feel sick. I haven't felt such a sense of excitement to watch an hour long show since Forever, which was also canceled after one season. I love the characters and the chemistry between the supporting characters. I love the actors playing the characters. They inhabit their characters, make them believable. I love the head game aspect of the plots. Why do networks give some shows with such great characters, concepts, acting, and scripts such a very short time to grow an audience? It makes very sad and wanting to forget network tv.

The show is unexpectedly good ,, the plot is just fast, strong , no gaps in the script , it's direct and easily folowable.

So the story is about an illusionist who tries to help getting his twin brother out of prison after they have been set up, and he do so by helping the FBI solve their case ,, this reminds us of so many shows like the Mentalist, Lucifer, Limitless or Scorpion where some outsider "civilian " comes and help the police solve crimes an all but after all it has some originality "the illusionist part" and all the other similar shows even though they are not 100% genuine they all proved themselves on the screen with more than a couple of seasons,, so why not .

Aside from the solid fast script which gave the show more tense and thrill, the cast choice was really good, Jack Cutmore-Scott was so on point, honestly haven't seen him on anything before, but man he owned the show and looked like he's been doing this for ages, Amaury Nolasco is also amazing "watched him on prison break" and he kept his role of bringing up some lines in a comic innocent way ,, and of course loved the Vinnie Jones , gosh that was a nice thing seeing him here.

Final thought,, the show is really good and looks promising , i hope they give it a chance, and by they i mean the producers and the TV shows addicts like myself.

It's right up my alley. I love crime and I love magic. So far the tricks are pretty much realistic which is hard to find in his sort of thing and it's a lot of fun. Hope it lasts a long time

It never fails that shows that I'm attracted to end up being canceled and this show is not the exception.I loved the actors and they had good chemistry and the theme was a little redundant with that being a police consultant, but this was unique compared to the others and gave some "magic".Oh well.

Geez, reading through some of these reviews and they are harsh.

If you are looking for a decent police procedural show (which l usually am) this isn't bad. The cast is good looking and can act, the quality of production is good and the story lines are interesting.

Now if only l could get a new crime show with a dead body at the beginning and a mystery to solve at the end, l'd be happy.
