· "I loved this show. Had a little of everything; intrigue, comedy, family, suspense, violence and a heart! Can't wait for season 2!"

· "The acting was phenomenal, the storyline was intriguing, keeping you guessing what would happen next till the end!"

Here's what critics have to say:

· "(Sneaky Pete) is fun---a pleasing balance of slick, Ocean's Eleven-style con jobs and tense, close-call escapes." - Entertainment Weekly

· "Once you watch the first episode of Sneaky Pete... I dare you not to start binge-watching its 10 episodes." - Ken Tucker, Yahoo TV

· "Sneaky Pete is immediately likeable, unspooling with exhilaration and then, almost when we're not expecting or even needing it to, the series develops other favorable attributes that hint at a longer, more complex run... THE BOTTOM LINE: Let this be a long con..." - Tim Goodman, The Hollywood Reporter

· "... a nice turn from Marin Ireland as Pete's cousin and Marius' fellow bond agent. As for Cranston and Martindale, their work is as riveting and entertaining as always - filled with humor, menace, nuance and a lively intelligence." - Robert Bianco, USA TODAY

· "Graham Yost sustains a tone of suspenseful and offbeat humor in this well-cast, smartly written sleeper." - Matt Roush, TV Guide
