The Thief
searchanddestroy-14 December 2020
As I have already told in my previous comment about this TV show, the main lead character looks really like Jim Caan in Michael Mann's THE THIEF, 1981, a professional robber who is a car dealer as a cover, and who has to struggle against the local mob, a professional robber who has a kind of foster child. Many elements in common with the genuine THE THIEF makes me think this series is a tribute to Michael Mann's feature. In another story, crime story, i would say that the subplot between the lead and his step daughter is useless, but here, on the contrary it brings something poignant and very useful for the characters description. Yes, this series is a masterpiece to me. And this scheme of a Black man taking care of his white stepdaughter as if she was his, is so unusual and moving, poignant and gripping.
