What's the deal with Thief? I ...

Question: What's the deal with Thief? I thought it was fantastic. But I heard that it got terrible ratings and probably won't be coming back. Is this true?
Answer: The unofficial word is: Don't count on it being renewed. The ratings were lousy — no big surprise, given the time of year this limited-run series premiered. But besides welcoming back Andre Braugher to TV, there wasn't much buzz around the show, one way or the other. (And that's the real kiss of death for an FX show.)
