    Excellent TV show. The best in years! Ray Liotta is as cool as he has ever been and Amy Smart is the hottest girl on TV.

    One of the best new shows of the fall. Sick cast, great pace, wonderful acting, lots of action and great story. What more could you want? Ignore the negative reviews. Check it out for yourself.

    If I could have, I would have voted a 15! This is the best new show on the air. I felt like I was seeing a great, thriller of a movie every Tuesday night. I hate being addicted to these shows, waiting every week for the next episode, only to find that they cancelled it on me! Yet another good one goes down the drain. Thanks CBS... I'll know better next time. BRING SMITH BACK!

    Great show, great drama and action, fast pace unlike those other shows. I am able to just sit, relax and enjoy this show without thinking to turn the channel. Would love to see it back on

    I love this show what happened. I just can't believe that CBS took it off the air. I hope and wish that they put it back on or they will send me the season because they are probably already finished shooting it anyways.

    I thought I had missed it last week...and was really disappointed, now I am really mad that it has been taken off the air. Well, at least now I can get to bed earlier, I sure don't care for the program that has replaced it. Bring back Smith!!!!!!

    I can not believe they let this show go off the air. I agree the characters seem a little less humane then other shows, but that was what was so interesting about it.

    Loved it.... too bad CBS left us hanging and cancelled it after only three epidoes. I will try not to get wrapped up in new shows like I did this one, as networks don't give quality shows a chance. How about a different night? Maybe a more unique name? COME ON CBS? What's next, CSI TRENTON?

    After watching the first episode, I was blown away. I am a huge fan of Ray Liotta and am excited to see him on the small screen. This seemed to be one of the more intense shows on television. I don't not watch programs regularly but I am going to tune in every week to see what happens next.

    The show was exciting. I felt like I was watching an action movie everytime. 'Smith" looked amazing and the acting was great. I am going to miss it.

    10++++++++ This is such an awesome show. I can't believe they cancelled it. Why do all the good shows get dropped? This could have been the next CSI if they only gave it a chance. 3 episodes? 3 episodes? Surely Ray Liotta deserves better than that! I am deeply upset over this and will think twice about watching any new show that comes on. Why bother? It'll be gone in a week anyway!

    Smith is an awesome show, I can't believe it's gone. CBS should give it a second chance and put it on a different night. Bring it back!

    Intriguing, great cast, not Law & Order, not neat tidy and resolved or worlds problems resolved ending. Great acting, great cinematography. Only drama I've seen in years that makes me want to watch again. Can't wait to see more.

    Man, I am pissed off at CBS for dropping Smith after only 3 episodes. CBS sucks big time for not giving this show a chance. Put it on a different night if you have to. This will be the last time I I give a CBS show a chance. Screw you CBS!

    Outstanding opening episode. I doubt it will be able to keep up the intensity . . but I didn't think "Lost" would be able to keep me interested either. Reminded me of "The Sopranos" without the family humor.

  1. The premiere breathe[s] like a moody, dark theatrical release -- one that tastes like Quentin Tarantino muddled with Michael Mann -- as opposed to a pilot from executive producer John Wells.

    So odd, you must check it out. [22 Sep 2006, p.89]
  3. The cinematography is stylish, and the action sequences compare favorably to those shot for larger screens. The acting is good, sometimes even inspired, and yet there is a big problem with the show. Put simply, most of these characters are distasteful and sometimes downright repulsive.
