Season 1 Review:
Henry and Moura play off each other well with Henry’s multi-layered performance — he stays true to the survivor spirit inherent in his character throughout — worthy of awards consideration. He and Moura nail the details in a production that nails gritty visual details about what the hard edges of Philly and a few of its tattered by the opioid crisis ‘burbs look and feel like.

Season 1 Review:
There are limitations on Henry’s performance in “Dope Thief” as well — Ray’s trauma-induced anger gets to be a little too familiar across eight episodes, and his rants and complaints begin to run together. .... But “Dope Thief” remains entertaining — Craig capably layers biker gangs, a Vietnamese crime family, neo-Nazi killers, actual D.E.A. agents and Ray’s mostly Black neighbors into a sardonic farce that works on its own baroque terms.

Season 1 Review:
Dope Thief is just the latest in a long line of TV projects that feels like it should have either been two episodes shorter or, maybe better yet, a film—the show can’t help but feel stretched out, especially after our duo makes it through yet another casualty-heavy shootout. .... [Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura] create a lived-in rapport immediately here, seeming so naturally brotherly with their banter and busting.
