The Con is On2004-02-24
The series opener introduces the crew and the format in one move: a long con in progress, glimpsed from the inside, with the mechanics only fully revealed at the close. Sets up the show's grammar cleanly.
Rotten Tomatoes scored Series 1 at 80% from 10 critics. Empire found it 'tries too hard to achieve effortless cool,' while Entertainment Weekly acknowledged its style. A stylish debut that divided critics on execution.
Renewal: Concluded after 8 series and 48 episodes in February 2012. Creator Tony Jordan indicated it would be the last series and the BBC confirmed no ninth season would follow. (Wikipedia)
