wholeheartfriend Some series can just captivate you. They draw you in and keep you glued to the screen. That's when it has a good story, great acting, but most of all it is about getting to like the main characters. I have no clue what the writers of this series had in mind. Clever thefts can be exciting. You admire the way the evil-doers do a smart job in planning and executing the crime, Outsmart everybody, get away with a lot of money and feel relieved if they made it. These characters were all very unsympathetic robots and yeah robots don't have any emotion. We're dealing with psychopaths here. The storyline wasn't so great. The acting was poor. Is it any wonder that only 7 episodes made it on TV? One Big Turkey.

tom-rusch after watching many of the balance of the episodes on DirecTV's 101, i'm puzzled why this didn't get more that a showing of the pilot.interesting characters. definite possibilities for the direction the show might have gone. all the characters might have great back stories that would give the writers an option to move beyond the mere caper plot of other similar series.the second to the last episode on 101 suggested the background for simon baker's character and suggested a little redemptive option.and the same episode hints at the history of ray liotta's and virginia madsen's troubled relationship.ah well, another example of 'if i like it, they'll cancel it.'

CatoTSR2 Massive hot off the press 'Ray Liotta' led thriller, only to be canned by the moguls for some odd bizarre reason. Oh dear Mr Hollywood haven't you got it wrong big time. How many series of 24, Yawn!!! ER went into cardiac arrest since Clooney left: Smith is a fantastic concept with an electrifying cast and genre'. I did not get the bit in the first series with one of the team popping the 2 bodyguards on the beach. But don't you wish that was you on occasions? Great story well executed script, very much in the Winner/Bronson, "The Mechanic" mode. I could look at Virginia Madsen all day and not get bored. I suppose there's no point in getting a petition up to have it back on the tube!

unicornpeg2003 Sorry but I just can't buy a show that tries to evoke sympathy for criminals. I'm tired of having television present the underbelly of life as being attractive and exciting. It does have a great cast but I will not be watching this show again. I would love to see this wonderful group of actors in a better vehicle. The story line is weak, the action is fair and the entire time I kept wondering about the purpose of this series. Ray Liotta seems to be walking through his lines without really believing in them. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets yanked before the end of the season. There are better shows out there in which to invest viewing time. Heroes is excellent and does not have any big stars. Jericho looks like it has promise. I think I'll be sticking with some of the usual mainstays such as all the Law & Orders and CSIs. All in all--not worth watching this dud.
