*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This first episode of the 3rd season shows our intrepid team in a bad financial shape caused by Danny's blunder. Apparently this ordeal pushed them to a hasty selection of a dangerous mark. The entire idea of the con is rather simple, the "plan B" is however quite delicious. The (quite detestable) mark loses all, and yet does not know that it has been tricked. Our team did it again, this time with some cuts and bruises.

With one exception: The way in which the team obtains police vehicles and uniforms is questionable at best. This was simply not very believable, and on such deficiencies the plot fails its quality test. The better of the Hustle episodes are stunning by their level of complexity, surprising twist, and because they appear so believable. One cannot help to wonder if something like that could not happen in real life. I doubt that a team of outsiders can simply "borrow" 2-3 genuine police vehicles this way, this is not real.
