Al Mundy was one of the first Hulu Heroes I discovered. In season two, he says things like "swinging place" and refers to women as "birds." He also wears alot of white pants.
It's the same premise: cunning con-man gets out of prison, works with a disdainful cop, has secret heart of gold, smarter than the Feds, handsome, hair parted on the side, etc. The new one stars that handsome man who looked really familiar and then I remembered he played the handsome spy on Chuck.
He's good at playing handsome men. The pilot itself was pretty good--not great, but good. I'd watch the second episode. One highlight was that it featured Miss Diahann Carroll as the widow of an Old Time con man, donor of the thief's wardrobe, and owner of a fancy New York penthouse into which the thief moves. Miss D added a nice touch of elegance to the show, as did the art forgery plotline and blue contact lenses worn by the lead.
I sure love the handsome criminal shows. Thank you, Hulu.

Ooooohhhhhh, blue contact lenses. Of course! I've only seen the ads on the sides of buses, but I was wondering about that point.

Note that Robert Wagner never needed to pep up his handsome with contact lenses. He was 100% naturally handsome. Of course, he did kill Natalie Wood.
The handsomeness is appreciated on this long, boring Friday. Thank you, Ms. Hewins.
Really, Alison, when is handomehood not appreciated.
I don't know what handomehood is, maybe because I don't live in New York, but handsomehood is always appreciated.
