Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I had watched the original UK version (Hustle), but had always been annoyed by the continual pissing match between the Danny and Mickey characters from that show.
But while this is a similar premise, it's definitely a different show with different characters, and so that dynamic that I didn't like wasn't carried over to this version. And not only did I like CK's character, I like all of the characters, which for me is nearly unheard of.
Can't say yet whether they'll be able to sustain it, but I'm game.
The premise is Hutton is some guy who cons con men? Or maybe he is a spy? Or, um, something else I apparently didn't read? All I saw was CK's name and I said, "I'm there!." (Because I love you here is the EW review - http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20242832,00.html - they gave it a B+!
I saw the first episode the other night. I did enjoy it. The Post said #2 was better, so we'll see how that goes. Hutton is a former insurance investigator who used to pursue the rest of the cast in their criminal guises.

What's the premise of this show? Is he in it for a decent chunk of time? I can only take so much filler stuff. I have enough DVR guilt as it is.
