Heist is an American crime drama television series created by Mark and Robb Cullen that premiered on NBC on March 22, 2006, but was almost immediately canceled on April 19, 2006, due to low ratings.[1] The series revolves around professional thief Mickey O' Neil (Dougray Scott), who creates a team of experts to try to pull off the biggest heist in history — to simultaneously rob three jewelry stores on Rodeo Drive during Academy Awards week. Meanwhile, Amy Sykes (Michele Hicks), lead detective for LAPD's Robbery Division, leads the task force investigating a series of thefts committed by this new crew. Under high pressure from her superiors, she has to figure out not only who was behind the crimes, but also what larger job they are leading up to.

Reception

[edit ]

Metacritic gave the series 51 out of 100, from 22 reviews.[2] Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times found "the story lines and characters are layered and more intricate than in most detective series" and compared Heist to the British show Hustle .[3] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe , in reviewing the two new shows premiering that night, Heist and The Evidence, declared "Heist is the better of the dramas." He likened both series to the work of Quentin Tarantino, saying they "have Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs in their DNA."[4] Tim Goodman of The San Francisco Chronicle found "the writing in Heist is self-consciously forced", further describing it as "painful to hear". "Heist is either the best inside joke about appeasing the masses for a monolithic network or, sadly, two guys who needed to pay the rent and buy mama some shoes."[5] Tom Shales of The Washington Post describes this serialized drama as "confusingly shot and edited, populated with snarlingly cranky characters, and crowded with cheap tricks designed to alleviate the show's prevailing pall."[6]
