Dossier Smith

I can't believe this show was canceled. Another case of self-censorship. How sad. This show was the coolest thing on TV. I loved hating these characters. Not every show needs to be a morality tale. This was an im-moraity tale. It's pathetic how terrified the populace is.

From the all star cast to the magnificent plot lines, this show was different. It's easy to be the same. I highly recommend it. Download it from through itunes, it's worth it.

America is losing it's place as the nation where ideas are developed. It's becoming a bottomless pit of bland conformity. Soon, we'll all be characters in some blurred out reality show.

I haven't watched much TV in recent years, programs have degraded my TV so much I felt it was best to face it towards a corner till it thought about what it had done. Soaps, Reality TV, Bad comedies, Reality TV, Annoying Game shows and Reality TV have saturated the schedules but then this comes along. This is the best Drama/Thriller serial I've seen in ages.

Whats not to like? Ray Liotta being uber cool, Amy Smart being so sexy I have to wipe the steam from the screen,(Thank god I said Steam), Simon Baker and his underlying violent tendencies.

The plots where interesting and exciting, We got a little glimpse into each characters life in each episode while getting down with some grade-A action that even makes most feature films look boring, I'm talking Motor Bike chases, Hummer ram raids, Chainsaw killings, Sniper assassins, High Profile robberies and good old fashioned fist fights.

after watching many of the balance of the episodes on DirecTV's 101, i'm puzzled why this didn't get more that a showing of the pilot.

interesting characters. definite possibilities for the direction the show might have gone.

all the characters might have great back stories that would give the writers an option to move beyond the mere caper plot of other similar series.

the second to the last episode on 101 suggested the background for simon baker's character and suggested a little redemptive option.

and the same episode hints at the history of ray liotta's and virginia madsen's troubled relationship.

ah well, another example of 'if i like it, they'll cancel it.'

This is a interesting show that shows both crime life and private life of the characters as well. The cast is terrific and i heard that some critics say it doesn't measure up but they are wrong!!! This is a very solid crime drama that has not even begun to show the potential it has.It is well balanced with the characters and it is very entertaining.You like the crew for some unique reason.I think the cast is has a lot to do with it but the way the show is written is interesting and you care for the main character who is played by the talented ray liotta! Give it a chance!By the way there is some dark humor in there as well if you pay attention and it makes the show even better!

Did I read right? This series was ditched by a US network? Talk about a prophet unrecognized in his own country. "Smith" is US film-making at its best--tightly written, filmed with panache, great characterization (particularly Ray Liotta), haunting but understated score. Great stuff--and I'm hooked. The concept of a family man (Liotta) leading a double life combining a normal domestic routine, a boring job and a criminal sideline is original and dramatically daring but it works wonderfully, thanks to the delicate interplay between Liotta and his screen wife (Virginia Madsen, whose ode to the vine in "Sideways" belongs in a compendium of the best modern prose). Thank goodness a discerning distributor(Cinemax) picked up "Smith," patted him on the back and sent him off to Asia, for the entertainment of us benighted exiles.
