Are you overwhelmed by how much television is available right now? Is life getting in the way of keeping up with the shows you wanna try out? We feel your tube-related pain. Here’s a handy feature that helps you locate the hidden gems in this era of Peak TV.
NETWORK | Bravo
CREATED BY | Paul Adelstein and Adam Brooks (Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce)
NUMBER OF EPISODES | 10
EPISODE LENGTH | 60 mins.
PREMISE | Maddie (Prison Break‘s Inbar Lavi) is an alluring, chameleon-like con artist who seduces men and women into falling in love with her, after which she marries them and then leaves them penniless. As Maddie moves on to her next target, three of her duped exes — good-hearted jock Richard (Suburgatory‘s Parker Young), hopeless romantic Ezra (Home Fires’ Rob Heaps) and neurotic artist Jules (Marianne Rendón) — team up to track down their “wife.” Along the way, they pick up “the art of the con” to make some cash… and discover Maddie’s operation is much bigger than it appears. Meanwhile, the beautiful grifter starts to develop feelings for wealthy charmer Patrick (Being Mary Jane‘s Stephen Bishop), but can she have a real relationship? Our lips are sealed!
WORTH YOUR TIME IF YOU ENJOY… | A con artist caper with a perfect mix of dark comedy, emotional stakes, colorful characters and “OMG!” twists. Or if you miss Suburgatory‘s Ryan Shay. (Young’s Richard is pretty much a grown-up version of the dim-but-lovable football player.)
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY ALSO KNOW… | There’s a larger mystery and mythology at play, with Maddie and her partners-in-crime (played by Private Practice‘s Brian Benben and Satisfaction‘s Katherine LaNasa) working for a figure known as The Doctor. The man in charge even has a fixer (guest star Uma Thurman) to keep his “employees” in line.
IS IT COMING BACK? | Yes. Bravo renewed the show for Season 2. UPDATED: The show was cancelled after Season 2. Read our series finale post mortem here.
WHERE CAN I WATCH IT? | Season 1 is available for purchase on YouTube, iTunes, Amazon Video, Vudu and Google Play.

My second fave show of the year! Wasn’t expecting it to be that good addictive
Yeah! Love this show ! Very happy it was renewed.
Loved the chemistry amongst the three exes. The main character though, not so much.
Love this show! Was so glad it got renewed. Made the Sweet/Vicious cancellation hurt a little less.
This show is basically what I wanted The Catch to be.
The ironic thing is the executive producer, Paul Adelstein, has been on three different Shonda Rhimes shows – he was even a regular on one of them. I wonder if The Catch hadn’t come along first if this would be a Shondaland show.
Best surprise show of the year!
Can’t wait for season 2.
I enjoyed this show very much. Super writing. The lead actress is a talet packed powerhouse. Inbar Lavi. Remember that name. I would love to see her get a well written intense big scree role. I adore her.
Inbar Lavi is a revelation, but the entire show just works great!
Iloved it can’t wait til next season
Excellent show! Superb acting and storylines with surprising twists and turns. I love a good caper and this fits the bill!
I’ve only seen the bar scene with Uma b/c my cousin plays the creep who hits on her lol
