Truly, it has never been more sunny in Philadelphia on television.
Thankfully, that cloudier weather is set to arrive withApple TV+crime dramaDope Thief.
They soon get in over their heads, however, after pinching a major narcotics ring.
It doesnt hide itself, you know?
Everybody tells you what they think immediately.
You get all that texture in the show.
These guys are so much from there that you couldnt tell the story without it.
Phillys still got the right kind of grit.
Its still got people who are completely real and protecting their neighborhoods.
Bostons got a little too gentrified in some sections.
You know, its North meets South.
The story couldnt have happened anywhere else.
I found Philadelphia to play a very, very important character in this series.
For Moura and Henry, the biggest appeal ofDope Thiefwas one another.
Brian called me and I really liked the conversation that I had with him, Moura says.
But [before our first scene] I was like We dont know each other.
Can we have like, 10 minutes together?'
We had a very beautiful moment in there.
I can say now that Brian is a brother to me.
We became really, really close.
Im gonna direct him in my next film.
We established a beautiful friendship.
OK, maybe it really is always sunny in Philadelphia.
Even on a gritty crime drama.
The first two episodes of Dope Thief are available to stream on Apple TV+ now.
New episodes premiere each Friday through April 25.
