Whether you're discovering it for the first time or eager to revisit a cherished favourite, this enthralling dark comedy about a fraudster who adopts his former cellmate's identity to evade capture is essential viewing.
The official description states: "Sneaky Pete follows Marius, a con man who gets out of prison only to find himself hunted by the vicious gangster he once robbed.
"With nowhere else to turn, Marius takes cover from his past by assuming the identity of his cellmate, Pete and then 'reunites' with Pete's estranged family – who have no reason to suspect he is not their long-lost loved one."
If further persuasion is needed, consider the countless five-star reviews from devoted viewers who have championed Sneaky Pete over the years.
One Google user proclaimed: "Easily one of the best shows of the last few years. Watched it twice over now and the acting is impeccable.
"Ribisi gives a fantastic performance and so does Margo Martindale and literally everybody else, the script and writing is great, the story is entertaining and keeps you at the edge of your seat and it even mixes in some comedic parts that don't feel out of place and aren't overused."
Another individual remarked: "One of the BEST series I've seen in such a long time. The entire cast does such a great job each season.
"I'm a HUGE fan of Giovanni Ribisi and once again, he held it down. Bryan Cranston is also a great actor and I loved what he brought to season 1."
The third season scored a rare 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes
