With Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver, it ran 2007-2008 and ended in a cliffhanger. They were a con family who’d assumed the identities of another family. I still can’t believe they just dropped it right when so many lies were all tangled up leaving viewers wondering how in the hell they could ever get through it without getting caught. Excellent acting and funny as hell. It’s available to stream on Hulu but you’ll be dissatisfied by the unresolved ending.
