Jules Langmore, Imposters

Jules Langmore (Marianne Rendón)

Imposters is a dark comedy that follows con artist Maddie (Inbar Lavi), who gets involved in relationships with men and women before leaving them “used and robbed of everything – including their hearts” (Bravo Press Release). Jules was introduced at the end of 1×02, when two of Maddie’s victims, Ezra and Richard, tracked her down at the three teamed up. Jules had known Maddie as “Cece”, her ex-wife, and was still in therapy after Cece/Maddie conned her two years prior to the show.

Ezra, Richard and Jules, all broke, started running cons themselves in order to raise enough money to look for Maddie. Meanwhile, Maddie, going by Saffron, was working a new mark, but starting to feel restless — going through the motions of seduction without any enthusiasm, and was distracted by Patrick (Stephen Bishop), a tech millionaire she developed a genuine interest in.

Ezra, Richard and Jules all got some flashback scenes of their relationships with Maddie, and shared some scenes with her dealing with the past relationships, after they managed to track her down and got involved in her con operations. In 1×08, Jules kissed her, Maddie pulled away and Jules almost left the con, but Ezra persuaded her to stay.

In episode 1×09 Jules hooked up with an FBI agent named Gina, who was working undercover with Patrick. In the season finale she used Gina’s feelings for her to help Maddie con the FBI, by pretending to be upset over her broken art piece. She and Gina kissed when Gina tried to comfort her. Jules almost revealed to Gina that she wasn’t who she pretended to be, by giving her a speech about how they all just pretended to be something they weren’t, and stormed off. At the end of episode Jules left on a bus to San Francisco with Ezra and Richard.

The show has yet to be renewed for a second season.
