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'll make this short.
You know that feeling you get, when you bought something you were unsure about, then you open it and instantly regret having spent money on that?
I felt the same way about spending time to watch television series the last decade.
You get invested in the first episodes and then the plot just gets thinner and thinner and after a few episodes you notice what crap you're wasting your time on.
Well there was no remorse on this series for me. This is on a whole different level. This series makes other series look like "The dark Knight" made old comic book movies look like. It's just that good. I didn't think I'd see something this good ever. This will blow up and it's justified.
The plot starts as a family drama and slowly weaves in a con plot while rapidly picking up pace and creating the tensest experience I ever had while watching TV. It's masterfully crafted.
Watch it, you won't regret it.

Sneaky Pete was so much better than I expected it to be. It was one of the first series for Amazon before it became such a powerful streaming service so it was promoted the way it would be today so a lot of people haven't heard about it. Giovanni Ribisi plays a con man named Marius Josipovic who takes on the identity of his cellmate and goes into hiding with his estranged family from a gangster. The way they set up and execute the cons are fascinating. Ribisi is just phenomenal in this, it's probably his best role of his career. This series is so good that I binged all three seasons as fast as I could and it left me wanting more. If you haven't seen this yet then do yourself a favor and watch this as soon as you can.
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.

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.
