Feed the Beast

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.
