Thief on FX

434 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  archiguy
Anyone else watching the 24-esq Thief on FX. I've seen maybe 2 out of the first 4 eps and thinks I like it. This would be great in HD. How 'bout it, FOX?

I was looking forward to it (Andre is always good), but ended up disappointed and bagged it after one or two episodes. Just wasn't compelling enough to devote 6 hours to it. And it utilized some weird camera tricks that I found a bit...... unsettling. Judging by the ratings, a lot of folks felt likewise.
After all the cop, lawyer and doctor programs, a show about the other side is certainly different, if not refreshing. I guess the average viewers are not ready for it. BTW, what are the weird camera tricks they did?

A lot of quick cuts of the same scene that look like a few frames were left out each time - I found that technique jarring and uncomfortable. My guess is they did it to emphasize, or ratchet up the, tension, but it didn't have that reaction for me.
