Review of Sexy Beast

Sexy Beast (2024– )
2/10
You shouldn't have bothered
26 January 2024
If you're going to create a TV show that's meant to be a prequel to the iconic movie, you really shouldn't be trying to steal half of its lines.

Paying a little bit of "fan service" is fine, but when you have Teddy Bass (whose portrayal in this is frankly terrible) using his "Gentleman, you're all ****s" line, and then that uninteresting older woman, that's what? Don's boss? Use the exact same line he said to Aitch in the movie, it was just too much, and they're only two examples.

The acting is pretty poor. The casting even worse. The guy that's meant to playing Aitch looks more like Teddy Bass than the guy who's actually playing him.

The only reason I'm not giving this show 1 star is because Emun Elliott looks like he could have done an okay job of playing Don if given the chance. Paul Kaye's Stan could've also been a good character too.

Want to watch some Sexy Beast? Just watch the movie and save yourself the time watching this dross.
