The atmosphere reminds me a lot of Baccano, it even seems that they took place in the same place.
Both series feature entertaining and fast paced story where at one point everything just makes sense and it's just fun to watch. Great Pretender's build up is a lot faster than in Baccano and features more con men thief characters. Similar music style, especially the openings.
Similar vibe. Except from the era (Baccano happens in the 20's I believe), they both have a somewhat noire/jazz vibe with a lot of inspirations from american cinema.

Have a very similar Tarantino esc like energy and the whole American criminal element is similarly mimicked
Except in Baccano it focuses on prohibition era New York instead the whole world
It also has a similar Jazzy soundtrack
It obviously misses some of the hip hop tracks that Great Pretender uses but overall it's similar
Basically if you like the pacing, energy and character focus of the series as well as the soundtrack you'll like Baccano
Just prepare for something more like Pulp Fiction instead of Jackie Brown with the story being told out of order
It’s Jazzy, foreign (American, at the beginning of Great Pretender), and fast paced—so make sure to pay attention!

Jazz & crimes goes together like macaroni & cheese. Baccano! and Great Pretender are both shows about criminals doing criminal things, but somehow they make it mesmerizing to watch. The two have have extremely original and well written casts that kind of makes you want to root for the ''bad guys''. Finally, they both have amazing soundtracks.

-> Great ensemble cast in both series
-> Jazzy openings
-> Both are terrific crime-comedy dramas
-> Baccano! is some weird combination of FMA:B, Steins;Gate, Pulp Fiction and Snatch
-> Great Pretender is like Ocean's 11, but with more comedy
