In HUSTLE, a motley group of classy British grifters scams the greedy, the dishonest, and the mean with elaborate schemes involving both classic and innovative deceptions. With its lighthearted take on crime, the series evokes 1960s caper films and the more modern
Ocean's Eleven franchise. The sexy, smart, charming scammers include veteran Albert Stroller (Robert Vaughn), whose elite air allows him easy access to society's upper echelons of society; Stacie Monroe (Jaime Murray), the sly "lure" who entraps many a lustful gentleman; and Danny Blue (Marc Warren), who's supposedly the leader of the group, though his overblown ego and propensity for the ladies lessens his authority. The cast also includes the enormously talented Robert Glenister (
Prime Suspect), Adrian Lester (
Primary Colors), and newcomer Ashley Walters. Episodes followthe development and execution of long cons, while also building on the group's relationships with each other.
