    There is a challenge to "Smith." It may be wonderfully shot so far. It may be blissfully quiet. And it may be supremely acted. But how much can a viewer care about the bad boys and girls over the course of many episodes?

    Smith takes many risks for broadcast television -- and reflects fascinating tensions in the medium.... But an old-fashioned concept trips up Smith.

    "Smith" is so thinly written, and the characters so generic, that it's hard to feel much for this series except admiration for its cinematography.

    Great action sequences but totally amoral characterizations makes it impossible to invest any emotional intelligence in the cast.

    Derrivative, pretentious, and lacking in that basic ingredient, sympathetic characters.
