NFT: New show alert: Sneaky Pete (Amazon original)

tbonfig : 1/17/2017 11:11 am
Anyone check out this new show? I didn't expect much but am pleasantly surprised. Watched the pilot and it was well produced and well acted.

Nice surprise (at least for someone who didn't know anything other than the title) towards the end of the pilot for people who are fans of one of the most popular dramas on TV that ended a few years ago.
I'm 3 episodes in

are intriguing and it looks good. But I don't have Amazon so I have to wait until it's available in some other venue or media

I believe Amazon owns the show outright, so it probably won't hit other services. There are other ways to get the episodes of course.

Only gotten through the first episode, so far so good. Clever concept.

The actor's name is Michael Drayer and was in Mr. Robot, Vinyl, Sopranos and other stuff.
Yes!

Good actor, he was just in last night's Timeless!!
I hope he blows up.  
RicFlair : 1/18/2017 8:18 pm : link
That would be cool.

She's also friends with the young guy in the Evil Dead tv show who also played Ben Stillers bastard kid in meet the fockers.
I just finished it and really liked it.

I didn't think Ribisi could carry the lead. I was feeling the same way I originally felt about Buscemi in Boardwalk Empire. In the end, Ribisi is not Buscemi, but he's good enough.

I also thought at first that Cranston's attempt at a NY accent was overplayed. Then there was a scene in around episode 8 where he's telling a story about his time as a cop. It was fantastic.

All in all, a vey worthwhile watch.

Almost thought about deleting it and starting a fresh one.

I thought the show was amazing. Top to bottom excellent acting, plot was solid and it was well produced. This is how original shows should be. It felt fresh and interesting and I was invested in every episode. It was one of the few shows where I felt compelled to put my phone down the whole time.

RicFlair - congrats to your buddy. Michael Drayer is a very solid actor at this point in his career. I've enjoyed him in Mr. Robot and he was entertaining in this show as well.

As for the lead actor, I thought he was a great lead.

Overall 10/10 from me.
