Topic: Dope Thief [Crime, Drama]

It follows long-time Philly friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside, only to have their small-time grift become a life-and-death enterprise, as they unwittingly reveal and unravel the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern seaboard.

Indeed, at the very least the show is very well directed and written.
The cast & characters are also pretty good.

From what I've seen in EP01, will have to see about the story though...

▼Spoiler

That farm with three separate buildings is possibly the worst target for a "raid" and even an amateur should see that.
Up until that point Ray was portrayed as somewhat smart, making the decisions and plans for the duo.
But deciding that this possible target was acceptable is moronic, no matter how much money you need.

The moment he snorted coccaine should've been the moment they aborted the mission. If not that than the hat would've been the next clue that this guy is not up to the task.

Shows that deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Company You Keep | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

@WilliamDrakeMcGregor regarding 1x1:

▼Spoiler

To be fair, the way they showed how he staked out the farm, it was open to interpretation how much work he actually put into it. smile

1x2: Enjoyed it! The panic of the situation getting worse and worse... Well done.

▼Spoiler

And... the first "squashed sideways by a garbage truck" death ever on screen!? cool

Re: Dope Thief [Crime, Drama]

This ones not for me which is surprising as it is usually the sort of program that I like I gave up part way through E02

Re: Dope Thief [Crime, Drama]

I feel the same. I wanted to love it but couldn't get through episode 2, either.

Re: Dope Thief [Crime, Drama]

Managed three episodes and then dropped it as well, the story just couldn't keep me interested.

It's still very well made and everyone is doing a great job here.

Re: Dope Thief [Crime, Drama]

I'm still undecided.  I've watched 3 now but it's one of those shows I find myself on my phone while it's on.  Or even talk to the wife smile

2020.  Meh.
