United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"It can’t quite decide on a tone. At times it almost has the frisky feeling of a slightly darker take on the 'Psych' premise (...) moments later, it will indulge in the kind of graphic violence (...) The mixture is jarring"	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"I had a couple, 'This is a good, different world for a TV show' moments, before [it] too often left the unique behind for a more conventional con man story"	NEU
