Prison Break meets Dog the bounty hunter meets First 48 meets Criminal Minds and there you have it. It takes a con to catch a con? That's the tagline and the exciting premise that this show bases it plots on. U.S. Marshall's enlisting the aid of convicted criminals in order to catch the baddest of baddies. In turn, their sentences are shaved down and are held in camp cupcake (minimum security prison) until no longer needed. If they try to bail out or cause harm to the any Marshall they work with, then their sentencing is doubled. Simple enough.
So every week, a new case is presented. Our 2 cops; Charlie and Zancanelli lead our 3 cons; Lloyd, Shea and Philly, on the trails of a hard to catch crook. They're dispatched and kept up to date and informed by Julianne. It immediately kicks off with the action of a prisoner escaping and they jump right into the mix. Lloyd was a former child prodigy with a gambling problem, Shea is a hustler and Philly a con-woman. Each uses their "criminal talents" to bring insight towards baiting and locating these bounties. Lot's of action, dead ends, mysteries and slight humor stuffed into the episode. The pilot only touches briefly on each character but there's a lot to learn and cable usually lets new shows run it's full opening season course, so we should see how it all unfolds. Let's see what's offered for the next few episodes, the jury's still out for now.
Replay Value: Minimal for now
