Synopsis
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 co-operate with an FBI investigation of Barker, who's suspected of going rogue. 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.

I think,as with most people I imagine, I wanted to see this program to see how Mr Swayze could cope acting a whole season in his condition...and I must say he does this with the same grit and determination he is showing his disease! He is astounding as FBI agent Charles Barker. He is given a new rookie partner,Ellis Dove (Travis Fimmel) who unbeknownst to Barker, is actually there to investigate the rumour that Barker is a rogue agent. As the series progresses, Dove begins to understand Barker and respects his ways, as does Barker of Dove. Together they uncover a conspiracy about a group of rogue FBI agents that operate outside the law. An absolute gem of a TV series, full of action and suspense. I am just gutted that ABC have cancelled it, because the show ends on a cliffhanger. Please if anyone involved with the show reads this, make a feature lentgh episode to tie off the loose ends.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!!

Brilliant drama. Patrick Swazye was fantastic. So sad that this was his last appearance. Not sure how they could make series 2, but as a tribute to him - they should

Good series, well acted, good action, shame only the one season!
Swayze is very good in this, and it's a pity he didn't get to develop it in subsequent seasons. It takes some unexpected turns, and keeps you guessing.
