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.

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.

Unfortunately I'm afraid many won't make it long enough to see how good this show really is!! At episode 3 I was nearly ready to call it quits and I'm glad I didn't because the show really evolved into something unlike anything else I've ever watched. Sneaky Pete is a slow starter but wants it gets going you'll find it binge watch worthy with its interesting story line and characters you find that you're growing attached too. Giovanni Ribisi is excellent and at his best, and Bryan Cranston plays a great supporting role as he never disappoints.
Although I find Netflix the better value I respect Amazon's quality over quantity perspective. I've found that I am entertained by almost every show they create have created.

Excellent cast and script. Doesn't disappoint. Great choice for your next binge.
Any show with Margo Martindale in it is well worth watching I have never seen her in a less that outstanding show. Just finished season three of Sneaky Pete which I thoroughly enjoyed. Hope it has a few more series to run. Acting is uniformly excellent, story is great and moves along at a clip to keep you engaged in what is going on. Great all around show AMazon. AMZN is good at making series like this.
