The show started back in 2008. The show continued until Christmas Day 2012, with a total of 77 episodes. Each episode is about 42 minutes long. The show is made up of 5 main characters. Our Hitter, Elliot Spencer (He's the guy in the vest), is also a retrieval specialist. The Hacker, Alec Hardison (The black guy). Grifter, Sophie Devereaux (not that is actually her name...also she is the brunette). Parker (The blonde) is our resident Thief. And finally our Mastermind, Nate Ford (the guy sitting down).
All these characters were people who only worked alone as thieves and whatnot, taking things they wanted or were hired to take. Other than Nate Ford who was a Insurance Fraud Investigator. At some point or another he chased all of the other 4.
This show is a perfect mix of comedy, action, intrigue, and bate-and-switches. There are plans that fail, others that go too easily and turn out that they had the wrong idea about who was the bad guy. There are certain lines/things that are used in most episodes. For example Elliot constantly talks about how certain haircuts, shoe prints, physical stance, gunshot sounds, the whoopa-whoopa of a helicopter are all very distinctive of a specific type of person or gun or whatnot. Ford ends up saying "Lets steal us a..." That dot-dot-dot could be mountain, a bank, an IRS building, a close encounter, or even a potato.
In the end I loved this show. It was a great show with impressive interactions between characters. They take down politicians, CEO's, coaches, insurance companies, and more. I enjoyed the playful nature behind much of these kinds of take downs. Especially those that take a significant turn in the middle. I give the show as a whole a 10 out of 11.
