New York Post

Linda Stasi

Season 1 Review: 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

Season 1 Review: A stand-up, standout piece of work, one that works wonders on a seemingly tired genre. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Melanie McFarland

Season 1 Review: 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

Chicago Sun-Times

Doug Elfman

Season 1 Review: The minute "Thief" begins running tonight on cable's FX, television reclaims its best actor. Read full review

Los Angeles Times

Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: 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

Salon

Heather Havrilesky

Season 1 Review: 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

Boston Globe

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: 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
