Linda Stasi

So what is there to like about this show? The same thing there was to like about "The Sopranos" and "The Shield" - great writing, insanely good acting, deeply troubled and deeply layered characters and a plot that will keep you glued to your seat. Read full review

Tom Shales

A stand-up, standout piece of work, one that works wonders on a seemingly tired genre. Read full review

Melanie McFarland

The storytelling and performances are peerless in their intensity.... At the same time, there may be too much going on here for six episodes to do this show justice. Read full review

Doug Elfman

The minute "Thief" begins running tonight on cable's FX, television reclaims its best actor. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

It benefits immensely from the presence of Braugher, at long last in a role that, like that of Det. Frank Pembleton on "Homicide: Life on the Street," suits his particular intensity. Read full review

Heather Havrilesky

As a character study of one man, "Thief" works, but it's going to take a lot more than that to pull us into this very dark, very unforgiving story. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

It walks the walk of Important Series Television, but no matter how hard it tries to be gutsy and existential, it rings hollow. Read full review

Braugher and the Crew are excellent. Second place only to The Wire, so far. Bravo, Thief!
