Sneaky Pete

Excellent cast and script. Doesn't disappoint. Great choice for your next binge.

If they don't choose to make this into a show I'm going to boycott Amazon.. Simply Amazing. It felt so real, so raw, you could truly feel the stress and excitement the entire way thru this pilot episode.

Giovanni Ribisi IS Amazing. His best role yet. I don't want to give away any spoilers so I can't say to much but he's playing a double life and plays it amazingly.

Marin Ireland as Julia is very believable and works great with Pete/Marius.

Bryan Cranston is a writer on this show and you most definitely tell. NOT a single show has had me excited and impatiently waiting for the next episode since his previous " Breaking Bad".

This show has Amazing potential to be a big hit. I only hope there are more episodes to come.

Sneaky Pete is such an excellent and entertaining series! It's a show about cons, lies, deception, family, relationships, etc., etc. And tells it in such an amazing way that you can't wait to see the next episode! It was one of the best Amazon originals and got cancelled after 3 seasons for god knows why? Even though it ended it on a cliffhanger it's still definitely worth watching, it's not the kind of cliffhanger that will ruin the show for you. Once you start this amazing series you won't be able to stop watching it until you've binged the entire series so make sure you give yourself enough time to watch it. I promise you that it's worth every second!

I have been looking forward to S3 for a while since I binge-watched the first two last year. Those 20 episodes contain some of the most fast-paced, tense and almost anxiety-inducing elements in a TV show since - dare I say it - "Breaking Bad". Lots of tremendous acting especially by Giovanni Ribisi, great characters, setups and mini-payoffs building up to a grand finale for each season.

S3 was off to a great start and I whipped through the first 4 episodes in a row but honestly, I started losing general interest halfway through. Ribisi and McRae visibly grow tired of their respective characters and there are lot of strange, forced throwaway scenes. Overall the acting/writing sort of just fizzles towards the end with each mini-payoff just barely necessary to a climax half as exciting compared to the previous seasons.

I noticed a complete lack of return of the writing and production staff from those first two seasons - especially Graham Yost, a master screenwriter of the fast-paced action-thriller genre. There are a couple of great moments especially in the beginning but overall not nearly as good as the first two seasons. The show needs to do itself a favor and get Yost back in the screenwriting chair for the next season if there is one.

Unfortunately S3 knocks my IMDb rating down to a 7 for overall show - S1/2 are a solid 9.

EN: Sneaky Pete is one of those shows that hooks you right from the start. I found myself binging multiple episodes back-to-back without even noticing. The story follows Marius, a con artist on the run, who takes on the identity of his cellmate, Pete. What really drew me in was the clever cons. Each scheme was like watching a well-planned puzzle come together, full of surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat. It's a pity the series was canceled after just three seasons because it had so much potential.

While the third season wasn't as strong as the first two, the show overall is definitely worth watching. The characters are well-developed, the schemes are smart, and Bryan Cranston, as always, is excellent. He brings the same kind of brilliance to this series that he did to Breaking Bad. Even though the third season was a bit weaker, Sneaky Pete deserved a proper ending. At the very least, a movie could have wrapped up the story. Despite that, I highly recommend this show. It's an entertaining and addictive series with a talented cast and some truly clever cons.
