LatestThe team's latest mind games prove to have dramatic consequences, especially when it comes to repairing the rift between Clark and Ross...and the future of Edwards and Associates.
Clark and Ross Edwards are brothers and partners in a unique agency committed to solving clients’ problems using the hard science of psychological manipulation. Clark is a former professor and a world-renowned expert in the field of human behavior. He has a checkered history due to bipolar disorder, which sometimes results in quirky, manic episodes. His older brother Ross is a slick con man who spent time in prison. Each in their own way knows what makes people tick. Drawing from the most cutting edge research in psychology, they can a tailor a plan to influence any situation. It’s a little bit science, a little bit con artistry plus a smattering of Jedi mind tricks. The brothers, along with their team of master manipulators are offering clients an alternative to fate.
Acting
Zahn's manic energy vs Slater's smarmy cool — chef's kiss.
Writing
Clever science-of-scam plots that almost justify the cancellation rage.
Production
Slick corporate aesthetic hiding absolute chaos underneath.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Created by Kyle Killen, who also made Lone Star and Awake — both brilliant, both cancelled. The man cannot catch a break with networks.
Premiered in 2014 when con artist shows were peaking (White Collar, Leverage, Scandal), but its blend of actual psychology research made it weirdly educational. Ross's 'Jedi mind tricks' line became the show's accidental tagline.
