Christian Cooke's former soldier, Graham Connor, is ostensibly our guide into this rarefied world, but he's more of a smartass writer's concept of a character than a real person.

The Art of More may score for its novel setting-an auction house where unscrupulous dealers vie for priceless collections and deep-pocketed clients-are tarnished by the dramatic fraud the show perpetrates with its paper-thin characters.
