Ray and Manny’s entertaining dynamic should have been the backbone that carried the entire season.
All theseinconsistencies and underlying insecurities makeDope Thief,in a word, juvenile.
Dope Thiefis simply too broken to fix.
Mina’s two DEA counterparts were incredibly bland and impersonal.
Theresa, Michelle, and Manny’s girlfriend, Sherry, all fade away with a dozen loose ends.
On top of that, the best supporting characters, Bart and Manny, are dead.
