Feed the Beast

"AMC'S" new series "Feed the Beast" is an entertaining take and spin on getting by the best way you can even if it means illegal means! The drama is a spin and drama take that intersects with the mob and deals with money under the table being the themes that run the show. Anyway Dion(Jim Sturgess)has just got out of prison and he's still in debt with the mob so he decides to open up a restaurant with his old high school buddy Tommy(some well deserved work for David Schwimmer)and Tommy has some problems on the side he's a single dad with a mute son and he's in a power struggle with his rich dad who also puts a hand into the operation of the restaurant. And this series for cable true may not be "The Sopranos" still it's got plenty of blood and violence and action to keep it interesting. Overall check it out this series is a good vice spin on morality, money, and getting the job done anyway you can and by any means necessary so feed your viewing pleasure and watch "Feed the Beast".

I don't even know if this show is good or bad because every single time Jim Sturgess comes to screen I want to punch it. He is so bad that I somehow want to keep going and so good at being bad that it's addictive.

Astonishingly annoying and a bad performance from this guy.

I loved the series - great to start, a little slow and perhaps predictable in the middle, but then built up to a stupendously good finale.

So having just finished watching it on Netflix, I logged on to IMDb to see when the next series is due. But hey, guess what? It's been CANCELLED?

You can't end a show with a cliffhanger and then cancel it. BOOO. Crime bosses crossing paths, good characters with potential for remarkable story arcs. Boom. Gone.

I guess I kept watching, believing that it might get better....but no, each week another 60 minutes go by that I will never get back. A mute kid that's not spoken since his mum died, a racist gran-dad hard-nut who owns half the restaurant to be, the best thing about this is Luther from The Warriors, and the psycho "dentist". You get a couple of blokes dribbling over fantastic meals they want to make, and a couple of expensive wines. One slightly strung out chef owes some bad boys $600k, and a wine guy. unfortunately, David Schwimmer can only play Ross, he does it here, and he done it in Band of Brothers. its a really sad excuse for a show!

One of Schwimmer's best roles along with the rest of the cast. The life long new yorker misses the point that the neighborhood is under redevelopment as is true of many urban neighborhoods in NYC. The Bronx was the worst and the last to be renovated.

And by the way, there certainly are white areas in the Bronx. I went to Catholic High School in the Bronx and the majority of students were white.

It seems this neighborhood, like many in the burnt out Bronx, has barely anyone around. Look , compared to most shows on TV , this is a masterpiece. No, it is not Martin Scorcese New York authenticity but good enough to feed my appetite.
