Descriptions of the Apple TV+ series “Dope Thief” as a “drug ring drama” are not exactly accurate. Yes, it revolves around small-time crooks and friends Ray and Manny posing as DEA agents to rob equally small-time drug dealers.

Adapted from crime author Dennis Tafoya’s 2009 debut novel by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Peter Craig, who also serves as executive producer along with the iconic Ridley Scott, character drives the Philly-set “Dope Thief.” Oscar nominee Brian Tyree Henry and Golden Globe nominee Wagner Moura, better known for their roles as Paper Boi in “Atlanta” and Pablo Escobar in “Narcos,” respectively, infuse so much emotion and easy chemistry into their roles...
