Product Description
Patrick Swayze is back and gunning for justice as Charles Barker, an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran in The Beast. Though considered by many, including rookie partner agent Ellis Dove (Travis Fimmel), to be the best in the business, FBI undercover operative Barker has a style that is nothing if not unconventional. In pushing Dove to immerse himself more deeply into the characters they create, Barker makes it clear how the stresses and dangers of working undercover make normal relationships impossible. As he and his mentor are tested by cases that pit them against ruthless drug lords, dangerous arms dealers, corrupt cops and deadly killers-for-hire, Dove also struggles with his own secret: he’s being asked to cooperate with an FBI investigation of Barker, who’s suspected of going rogue. And as Dove is pressured to become an informant, Barker launches his own investigation into a conspiracy within the Bureau that’s protecting a secret cadre of agents operating outside the law.

Overall this show ‘wowed’ me a lot more then I ever thought it would, though I was never sold on the title they chose. Surprisingly good, despite some new comers and a gritty underbelly.
The show is about a veteran FBI agent (Swayze) who gets a new partner (Travis Fimmel). The new partner soon learns that his teacher is probably working on both sides of the fence (legal and illegal) and has to decide what to do when he gets approached to spy and rat on his partner (Swayze).
Great story, great troubled characters, some incredible action scenes, smart and fun dialogue, nice set design. I was truly amazed on how good it was.
I believe there is only one season and based on the way they’re reporting it, the show got canceled due to concerns about Mr. Swayze’s health issues (pancreatic cancer). I don’t know why they had to cancel the whole series though (they could have perhaps waited another year before resuming shooting to give Mr. Swayze a chance to really get well, unless he changed his mind about being on the show).
There are all kinds of things they could have done other then cancel it. I’ve never understood why networks continue to cancel really good shows that I like. I wish they’d cancel instead all the ones I don’t like (that whole Nielson rating system is total malarkey and no one believes any of it except the networks). Either way, it’s a loss to those of us that came to love the series.
Brilliant but Cancelled list gets one show longer,

The Beast was an excellent show. It was colorful, salty, adventurous. Excellent, fully committed acting all around. Patrick Swayze and Travis Fimmel hit their stride early and had great chemistry. Half a season is better than none. But it doesn’t make me feel better.
