AMC picked up the BBC's show Hustle and is starting it in January on Saturday nights at 10PM.

Anybody else watch this show? The cons are mostly routine and rehashed but it's got a slickness to it that you don't see all that often with TV shows. I kind of stopped watching midway through the second season, but I'm glad that US audiences will get to catch it.
 
yes! Hustle is an awesome show. They need to hurry up with the next season already! Never did get into Spooks though. Odd, cause I liked The Office and Extras. BBC Shows are just so much better.
 
never heard of it. but ill check it out.
im with WP on the "hurry up" with bbc new shows. they have the same schedule as HBO with taking their damn sweet time.
on the other hand...those long hiatus shows tend to be better.
 
yea i'm a fan🙂 its fun and clever and very high quality production. only a few eps each season though so quality remains high.

ioh and theres a new series by the same people called life on mars. its about a cop that gets hit by a car and wakes up in the 70's england. not sure if he's still in a coma or what. its pretty good so far.

and theres always bbc spooks (mi-5 in the states). also very good. i've heard they edit the one they show here on cable though for commercial time like they do to top gear so rent it on dvd instead.

hustle is also on dvd🙂
 
ok, i checked life on mars.. 58 minutes for one eps. pretty sure hustle was the same. they would definetly edit these shows to make time for commercials. rent or errr..argh matey!
 
Bump for Hustle.

If you want to get caught up you could try to find the episodes on the net. The complete seasons are available. Also check AMC on Saturday night at 10PM for "new" episodes. This has got to be one of my favorite TV shows of all time.

Someone mentioned that on IMDB, but apparently it isn't him.

Oh, and did you know he was in Band of Brothers? I didn't know..but now that I think about it, I recognize him. He is my favorite character on Hustle btw.
 
Has anyone heard of Coupling?

I saw the preview for it on the Good Neighbors DVD collection.
Which, by the way, does NOT have season 4! :|

No joke. So I got around to watching the first episode of Life on Mars.



Fvcking brilliant. I love Hustle, and this show is even better. I can't wait to watch the next 7 or so episodes.
 
LOL, you're just loving it aren't you. Over a year later, I'm still pissed that Coupling didn't get a 4th season...I guess they just got too popular over there, everybody had other work to do.

Coupling is a perfect example of american bastardization of "foreign" entertainment.

The original showas are hilarious🙂
