The only part that took me out was that 
chase through the backyards. They shoulda got Paperboy a stunt double or something cause he was struggling to get over them fences.
Show is fire tho.

The Ridley Scott directed episode. is stronger. I liked a lot about it, Tyree's acting, and the partner, Manny are strong. Manny's wife is good. Things that didn't work as well, were the other characters. Rick, seemed like an unlikely choice. He was played pretty broad.
-The Mom is well acted, but the scenes are grating.
-The trauma scene in episode 2, rang esp. false. Why does every show need the trauma plot?
-That chase scene was not good.
-The biker gang/neo nazi's being upper level drug traffickers. Maybe in Pennsylvania 40 years ago. Now it would be a bunch of Sinalonese in a low key house in the suburbs.
-It's partly me, but sometimes these shows strain credulity too much. The gang leader with the cute jokes and the whole act. It never feels as realistic as I would like it to be. The scenes at the hot dog stand, that felt real. Some of the rest didn't.

This the show Nacho Varga was supposed to be in but got fired after assaulting someone on set.
Sometimes you read the review, and think it will be wrong, because the first episode of Dope Thief was very strong. That's kind of where I was. E1 had State Prop playing, some grimy dope house shyt, some solid character development. This last one, E3 is a full step down. What started and maybe will return to a girtty on the block Philly show, is somewhere between an action movie, and an action comedy, in increasingly uneven scenes of emotion, and unbelievable action sequences.
-What the fukk was that scene with him and the bikers? The biker gang was going to kill him with 10 people in a parking lot?
-They walk in a bar with a bunch of prison guards, and visibily attempt to intimidate him?
-More of the Tyree characters trauma, and badly written comedic scenes, with him and the lawyer.
-She's amish, so she can't tell they are in danger?
-Is this going to lead to a sequence to a Amish community where he tries to hide, like Witness?
-Reminds me A LOT of the dynamic on Tokyo Vice, the first one was Mann, and was excellent, and the following 5 were really good, and then the tonal shifts almost sunk the show to me. It became near satire.
-The way violence actually happens in the drug world, is more like the show Gomorrah, it's abrupt, it's over quickly, and it's ugly.
-I'll keep watching, but there's already too much of this kind of bullshyt on streaming.
