A Watered Down Sopranos Rewrite
I really wanted to like Feed the Beast. AMC has made some outstanding TV shows that push the limits on excellent television creation such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and The Walking Dead. I also like David Schwimmer and was looking forward to seeing him in a drama instead of a comedy. Having watched about three episodes, I'm slowly losing more and more interest and wonder if I'll make it through this season.There are many things wrong with this series. First off, the show is very paint by the numbers in how it's constructed. You've got the widower single father, who is in a deep depression because he lost his wife to a car accident. You have his son, who refuses to talk and expresses his pain through sketches. You have the best friend, who was let out of jail and now wants a fresh start. He's the rebel with a heart of gold. You have the mafia, who is coming after the best friend for past debts and will take out teeth if he isn't paid, aka his nickname, the tooth fairy. You have the estranged father, who is a racist bigot who thinks his son is a wimp. You have the naive Hispanic girl, who has a crush on Schwimmer and lies to help him out. You have the restaurant. Ho-hum.The writing and everything seems very intro to creative writing level stuff. The dialogue is bland and boring. The situations predictable. The drama forced. The emotion artificial. The acting is wooden and lacks meaning. This show is similar to Vinyl in that it adds unnecessary elements that detract from the quality of the show rather than add to it. Why is the whole mafia thing needed? I think a restaurant show would be interesting if you showed the effects of gentrification, of all the struggles with opening and running a restaurant, etc. That would make it a character drama and likely add layers instead of this watered down rewrite of the Sopranos. AMC was likely going to strike out on one of their shows eventually, and it appears they have here on Feed the Beast.

For the album, see .
Feed the Beast is an American
television series based on the Danish series Bankerot by
and adapted by
for , starring
and . The series premiered on June 5, 2016, on . On September 2, 2016, AMC canceled the show after one season.
Tommy Moran and Dion Patras are like brothers. Dion is unable to stay out of trouble and Tommy is unable to move past it. For two friends on the brink of losing everything, a dusty pipe dream of opening an upscale Greek restaurant in their hometown of the Bronx is all they have left to turn their lives around. Together, they take on the insanity of the New York restaurant world and navigate its underbelly of petty criminals, corrupt officials and violent mobsters.
as Thomas "Tommy" Moran, a former
and functional alcoholic who is raising his ten-year-old son, TJ, after the tragic death of his wife, Rie. His dream of opening a restaurant in the Bronx with longtime friend Dion ignites a fire in him that has been absent since his loss.
as Dion Patras, fresh out of prison and in debt to the Polish Mob, is inspired to open his dream restaurant with his childhood friend, Tommy. A rockstar chef, Dion plays a central role in both Tommy and TJ's life, all the while trying to escape his own inner demons and stay the course in his quest to be the best chef in New York.
as Pilar Herrera, a quirky single woman who meets Tommy in a grief group, desperately searching for true love. Her search for love has inadvertently attracted men who capitalize on her naiveté. But when she meets Tommy, her hopes are restored.
as Patrick "The Tooth Fairy" Woichik, a first-generation Polish-American, is a soft-spoken, brutally intimidating local mobster with a penchant for pulling teeth. Though he works for his father, he is also a major disappointment to him.
as Aidan Moran, Tommy's father, a shrewd and ruthless businessman and unapologetic racist. He is a provocative and proud Irish-American and a self-made man with a self-made code of business ethics, which allows plenty of room for bribery, fraud, extortion, bullying and a general embrace of New York's criminal underworld.
as Rie Moran, Tommy's late wife, whose African-American roots play a strong role in Tommy's damaged relationship with his father. Remaining present in flashbacks throughout the season, Rie was a talented chef and artistic visionary for the restaurant. Her design book remains a guide for Tommy and Dion. She was a serial optimist who didn't let anyone take her down, especially Tommy's racist father. Her absence is a shroud over all of the characters.
Elijah Jacob as Thomas "TJ" Moran Jr., Tommy and Rie's ten-year-old biracial son who is traumatized after witnessing his mother's tragic death and is unable to speak. He suffers from frequent nightmares about the accident in fractured images, but he can't piece the whole sequence together. TJ is a gifted artist, and drawing is one of the only ways he can still connect with the world.
as Guy Giordano, an NYPD detective with a vendetta against the Tooth Fairy
as Marisa Gallo, Dion's lawyer and Giordano's daughter
as Anna Davis, a counselor at Clay Avenue Middle School
as Ziggy Woichik, the Tooth Fairy's father
as Kevin, a chef hired by Aidan
as Stavros, Dion's uncle
Jacob Ming-Trent as Mose, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, a member of Tommy and Pilar's grief group and a Thirio employee
Joel Marsh Garland as Fiasco, one of Dion's friends and a fellow chef
as Habib, one of Dion's friends and a fellow chef
