I eagerly awaited the release of the Sexy Beast series, which is a prequel to the original movie of the same name, released in 2000.
I am a big fan of the original Sexy Beast movie, with outstanding performances from Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley, along with the supporting actors.
This new series, to me, was disappointing throughout.
The acting is so over the top, too stereotypical, and to be honest I felt they were all trying too hard to act out their characters. This is a shame as there a number of talented actors included, who I have witnessed deliver far better in other movies and series.
Personally I felt let down, there was an opportunity to deliver a series on par with the original movie, but it never happened.
I did watch every episode, and gave the series more than a good chance to impress me, but sadly it never did.
