I watched it back in Indy, and yeah... it did have a "Homicide" kind of vibe. (I still heart Mikie, dammit) I liked it, loved the actor that plays the lead from when he was "The Commish". Hard to believe that cuddly cop turned into the dude on "The Sheild". Anyway, I'll definitely check out The Theif, if I ever get past basic cable, I don't think we have FX, I'll have to check.
