The Real Hustle
Specials
The Real Hustle is a documentary on various hustles, or so you think. In the final episode of the final season you realize the truth. They later it out in such a way that the twist only makes sense if you watched every episode as each episode is a piece to the puzzle. It was a master class of short cons masking the longest con of all. Such a rewarding experience.
