Feed the Beast

Well, where to start.

In today's TV there's so much variety that there's something for every taste, but this show gets unfairly slagged so hopefully anyone reading this will give it a chance without dismissing it just from unfavorable reviews which have no real grounding anyways.

There's drama, comedy, love stories, crime, family, friendship and social diversity exploration all combined with well chosen and composed cast, which should satisfy your need for a deep, but at the same time not too burdening or overly complicated story that you can follow weekly and not feel like you wasted your time by watching it.

Of course there are some flaws in it, but nothing is perfect, and if you give it a shot I think you'll learn to appreciate it more and more by each episode you see.

Give it a chance, that's all I'm saying.

After recently rewatching the musical movie Across the Universe, I checked out IMDb to see what actor Jim Sturgess has done since, and discovered Feed the Beast. I remembered seeing commercials for it this past winter, so I was happy to find out all 10 episodes were available for streaming on DirecTV. Over the past four evenings, I've binge watched Feed the Beast. It's not as good as my favorite AMC dramas Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but I really enjoyed it. Jim Sturgess is great in the part of a low-life, creepy kind of guy that you want to hate, but part of you just likes him. At first I was turned off by the casting of David Schwimmer as the widowed father, having been so familiar with him as the whiny Ross from Friends. But by episode 6 or 7, his character seemed to turn a corner and now he really feels right in the role. Some of the story lines are predictable, but I did not see coming the big cliffhanger that happens at the end of episode 10. I really hope Feed the Beast is renewed for a second season so we are left hanging with what happened!

This show is actually good and has some powerful messages for its viewers. It is up to the viewers how and what message they grab from this show. If you are looking for some fairy tale story in which everything gets good at the end of the episode then this show is not for you. Feed the Beast shows the reality and the challenges one has to face and the price one has to pay to dream big in a dark neighborhood. It is about optimism. Almost All the major characters had one thing in common. They all were optimistic in one way or the other! That's what life is all about. Never to lose hope and get your work done and move forward. Acting was good. Dialogues could have been better. No show is perfect but we should give this show another chance!

It start a little bit slow but then it got really interesting. I really hate that there is no second season. I was waiting to see what is going to happened after the last episode and now I can't believe they canceled a great TV show.

Whats wrong with you people? If prison break is back again then feed the beast needs a second season.

I very like this show! It is somehow different, more intelligent that others shows, interesting, so intense, captivating, so well made and with brilliant cast (everyone!)! It is so unusual that in series with so many characters (from first, second and even third plan) all actors are chosen wisely and genuinely and everyone has their personality - from the main characters, to supporting roles to even serving the kitchen. I couldn't believe there will be no continuation! I can not remember a series in which as many plots and characters are equivalent, interesting, worth developing and giving so much more possibilities to this series. I hope this show will return! Lots of interesting plots to expand!
