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 rokie partner Ellis Dove (Travis Fimmell), 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 put 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 cooperate with an FBI investigation of Barker, who's suspected of going rogue. And as Dove is pressured to become an informant, Barker launches his own investigation into a conspiracy within the Bureau that's protecting a secret cache of agents operating outside the law. The series debuted on the A&E Network on Thursday, January 15th, 2009 at 10 PM EST. On June 15, 2009, Entertainment Tonight announced that the show was canceled due to Swayze's pancreatic cancer. Sadly, he would pass away on September 15th that year. "The Beast" was Swayze's final acting performance. This 3-disc DVD set contains all 13 episodes from the show's first (and only) season, plus additional behind-the-scenes featurettes. Patrick Swayze might be gone, but he left television audiences with a riveting characterization that is nothing short of brilliant. You will be totally enthralled with "The Beast". Suspect everyone, trust no one.Read full review
Have always thought of Patrick Swayze as a great actor and very serious. He put his all in every role he/. This series was written well, used good actors that played well with him. Very believable and up to date stories. Only his death could have cancelled this series.

I bought this because I never had the time to watched the whole series. I think it is very good. There are a few nice twist to the regular police dramas. Patrick Swayze is very gritty and believeable. Travis Fimmel and all of the supporting cast do a great job also. There is some behind the scene info but no commentaries. All in all I'm glad I made the purchase. If you read some of the negetive reviews that show up, in my view they are just sour grapes. It was fun and exciting to watch. it's sad there weren't more.
Not opened. Got 1 opened have not watched yet, Thank you,Ellie White .
