Question: Do you think that CBS' Smith will last the whole season?
Answer: Hard for me to say. But if you're asking me if it should last the season, I'm still at a loss. The pilot (from John Wells) is extremely well made, introducing us to a glamorous team of criminals plotting an elaborate heist that goes slightly awry, hinting at repercussions and complications to come. My problem with the show is that, unlike morally challenging shows like The Shield and The Sopranos, there's not much humanity or complexity to these characters, who come off like ciphers initially. That could change, and the show could become as suspenseful as its pilot felt shallow. But the big question mark is how dark CBS viewers are willing to go, from NCIS to the edgier The Unit to the ethically bankrupt Smith. Will it be too much?
