Heist

Heist was the best new show of 2006. It was well written and the plots were brilliantly executed. I cannot think of any other show that is even close in content like Heist. The lead character was magnificent to look at. He was cool, suave, and believable. All other characters were also believable and it was a well rounded mix. Just seeing them in action made you want to root for them as opposed to the cops. The chemistry between the two leading opposing characters was also enjoyable to watch. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Please bring Heist back and put it in a better time slot! Thank you so much for listening.

Heist is just as exciting as Leverage or White Collar. Maybe it wasn't the right time for a show like this or it was overkill next to "Thief" and "Smith". Whatever the reason it still isn't a good excuse to cancel a show after only two episodes. This is something I don't understand and never will understand. For what it is worth "Heist" was pretty good and it would have become a great show if given the chance. It had all the same ingredients as similar themed shows. Of course it had flaws. Michelle Hicks as the cop was one of the biggest flaws. Her role could have given some great tension between her and Mickey (Dougray Scott). It wasn't her acting that made it bad. For some reason the writers forgot or ignore to do something with her character. Not one scene showed her doing something brilliant. Enter Ted Danson as Hicks' replacement and you see the difference. It only took him one episode to catch on. Heist deserved better!
