Dope Thief
WARNING: SPOILERS ahead for Dope Thief episode 6.
I know I am.
I’m all for narrative chaos done well it’s part of what madeThe Bearso addicting.
That chaos builds towards a shared dream between likable characters who have chemistry.
Meanwhile, Manny’s fiancee Sherry implausibly shows up at the worst possible time.
At this point,Dope Thiefhas become more sloppy and convoluted than engaging and complex.
The entire DEA investigation and agents are just not compelling.
Also, whatever happened to the “Whitey Bulger” sounding mob boss?
It’s about time he showed his face.
Dope Thief follows two lifelong friends from Philadelphia who impersonate DEA agents to commit a robbery, inadvertently stumbling upon a major narcotics corridor. The seemingly simple heist escalates into a critical situation, threatening their lives and unravelling their friendship against the backdrop of the East Coast drug trade.
