The Beast: Season 1
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 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 cadre of agents operating outside the law.

This series was one of the better ones I have watched Patrick Swayze was at his best here and it is too bad it came to an end. The story is sort of fimiliar but fresh and the acting and actors work very well together. The effects are movie quality much better than you would expect on a TV showPatrick Swayze's last dance - AvidOscarBee
If you are a Patrick Swayze fan then you'll enjoy his last acting performance as an undercover agent. The title of the TV series has to do with the "beast" or inner demons inside everyone. The supporting cast does a great job, especially his partner, Ellis Dove (Travis Fimmel) - quite the hotty!
It's worth it to see his last performance and absolutely mind boggling to know that in the midst of getting chemotherapy and radiation treatment for pancreatic cancer, that he still pressed on and acted quite well in his last role.
A true warrior in spirit who will be sadly missed but forever remembered through his wife, Lisa Niemi, and his wonderful body of work in film (i.e. Ghost, Dirty Dancing, etc.).
