What to Know

Critics Consensus

Andre Braugher is exceptional as a Thief with a code in this grim and taut series, which refreshingly focuses on interpersonal relationships as much as it does the score.

Thief is great material -- fierce, fraught, human, very 1970s. It's like watching Michael Mann, or 1970s Scorsese and Cassavetes in TV form. Go to Full Review Joy Press Village Voice 09/04/2019
A promising new crime drama. Go to Full Review John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture 09/04/2019
Mostly we are watching Braugher, who has more happening in his head than is ever dreamed of in all prime time, who complicates us like great art. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 09/04/2019
Pales in intensity compared to The Shield... But if you're a Braugher fan, it's still worthwhile to sit back and savor the show's strongest scenes, particularly those between Braugher and Whitman. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/15/2020 Brilliantly acted, interesting and stylishly presented (cinematically, direction), THIEF is captivating in both the heists and the interpersonal relationships. Mae Whitman plays her usual annoying brat with actual good points to make, Will Yun Lee is handsome, fearless and focused and there is not enough digital space to convey admiration of the skill, subtlety and sheer power of Andre Braugher's acting talent. I wish the finale hadn't been rushed story wise. The supporting cast down to one episode guest stars was phenomenal. one star off because of the ending. See more Read all reviews
