    A good looking show of Oceans 11 style plot twists combined with Tony Scott style editing. You have to pay attention to stay with it. Has the potential of being a break out hit ala Miama Vice, Baywatch or Las Vegas. Law and Order style snappy dialoge and tension between characters that Larry Orbach would have appreciated.

    Great show. I oved every minute of it. The cleverness of the crew is fun to watch as they outwit the cops, and Ricky (David Walton) provides some great humor along the way.

    Not original. Tries to be like Ocean's Eleven and fails. Easy to lose interest.

    I love heist movies and was very excited for this show. They have tried way too hard to infuse comedy into the dialogue. The character Ricky Watman makes me want to never watch again...

    LOVE this show. Has the look of a movie, the humor is perfect, the bungling cops are endearing, the "robbers" are a riot with their different personalities. Can't wait to see how/if they pull it off and get away with the heist.

    I love it. Even recording it. You have to like the witty comments, and I know the whole stealing thing has been done. I do like the way this is being done. Each character does have their own problem of one form or another. I can't wait to see how it ends.

    First new show I haved loved since "Rescue Me" premiered. It is a terrible shame they took it away! My teenage sons loved it too. You can't count audience by number of tv's turned in. We always had 4 of us watching.

    Recycled claptrap. Not worth a second look. And the opening exchange between the chick detective and the fat one was lifted from the novel Whiskey Sour by J. A. Konrath.

    This is "Ocean's Eleven" in a tv series. I enjoy the cast and character development. It's a break from all of the Crime drama shows that have devoured the air waves. I hope that it last and doesn't get moved around too much.

    Heist had both intelligence and humor. The writers did a great job in crafting characters that were quirky, funny, and flawed but were emotionally connected enough to drive the underlying heart of the story while keeping us engaged with the "heist" portion of it. Please bring it back - it's so much better than these awful reality shows.

    Can't believe another great show gone. They could have at least let the plot finish with the heist being a success or failure and put them in jail.

    This show is brilliant! Maybe another network will pick it up...or at least release the season on DVD. It far surpasses anything on tv right now and it's a real shame to have cancelled it. Please bring it back!

    I think they discontinued this show midseason, but I hope I am wrong and that there is a second season. I think this show was a good idea-stealing stuff in Beverly Hills. Great show. Watched every episode. Also has a lot of cliffhangers that make you want to watch the next episode.

    An hour of snide cleverness--especially one in which you can predict all the plot twists--gets tired fast. [24 Mar 2006, p.59]
  2. It's an entertaining enough diversion if you're not expecting much.
