The Beast

This show premiered on ABC shortly, then was canceled due to the fact that it could not find an audience. When I watched this show for the first time, I was trying to figure out what was going on, I skipped an episode, then when I watched again I was still stumped. If they ever decide to revive this series, I wouldn't recommend you watch it except for making fun of the character that looks like, and acts like Sean Connery, but isn't him.

i've seen a lot of clips of this show (mostly out of order, and with giant plot wholes) but every scene I've watched was so entertaining. I sorta wish something had come of the show. The writing and acting were great. And the whole cast seemed to have some great chemistry. I loved Elizabeth Mitchell's character and it's funny about all the Lost folks showing up here. I swear I just saw Jacob in a scene. I knew Naveen and Liz were in it, but now him too! Too funny. The story lines were thoughtful and captivating. Even all these years later, it seems like it would have made great TV. And although a news show might, be a used story line I think this had an interesting spin with the 24/7 internet frenzy that was coming about at that time. I guess this just goes to show that even a great show can fail if it doesn't hit at the right time or find an audience.

I thought "The Beast" was a wonderful show and I was sad to see it go. I thought the concept was innovative, the writing marvelous, and the acting superb!! I am an admirer of the actress Elizabeth Mitchell's work. Her performance stands out in everything she appears in. All of the actors in "The Beast" stood out in their performances. I had hoped the show would return, but, alas, I guess all people out in TV land want to see is trash television. Good, quality shows like "The Beast" get canned, but Jerry Springer stays on the air. How...is...that??

The plot was an independently owned news network that practiced "gonzo" journalism. Cameras were always on and showed everything going on in the newsrooms, as was the webcast. The plots were interesting, as were the characters, and the film had great texture. I didn't want to like it, from the trailers, but from the first show, was immersed completely. Also featured Peter Regert ... one of our favorites!

One of the best shows to air in ages and they ax it! Go figure... It would have been a hit for sure given even a slight chance. Realty TV seems to be "in", yet could you get more real than this? Superb cast & writing!
