    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.

    It requires a certain patience to stay with "Thief."

    Watching Braugher, who won an Emmy for Homicide, proves highly satisfying. But there's a big hitch: the maddening show around him.

    The show would probably be too ponderous to enjoy if Braugher weren't an actor of tremendous restraint.

    We don’t yet know if Thief will go anywhere surprising.
