Dope Thief Episode 3 Review: Characters Take Over the Apple TV+ Crime Drama

The following contains spoilers from Dope Thief Episode 3, "Run, Die or Relapse," now streaming on Apple TV+.
Dope Thief Episode 3, “Run, Die, or Relapse” digs a bit deeper, making connections between characters in the Apple TV+ show and their choices. Ray and Manny tie all these elements together, while dealing with the fallout from another bright idea. After ransacking an isolated methamphetamine farm, both men find themselves in hot water with bikers after their blood. This forces them to think on what their actions might mean for the families they love.
Series creator and Gladiator II writer Peter Craig clearly likes to take his time telling stories. Dope Thief is in no hurry to get where it wants to go -- but viewers are unlikely to notice, because the performances are equally relaxed. The Philadelphia suburbs are an intriguing backdrop, while the ensemble cast make the show's world feel lived-in.
