This show would still be going if the first episode was produced in the same manner as the other 9, two slow two sad too hook the audience in the pilot ! But mad props with the rest of the season , wish there could be more !

I cannot believe this series was canceled after one season.I found it captured my interested from the very first moment. It was unique.Upon reading the description of the show I initially thought...oh no, a high-end restaurant, mob ties, a single parent, alcoholism and David Schwimmer in a serious role...this is not going anywhere. I watched 1 episode and it just grabbed me. Everything was presented in a manner far from the way I thought it would be. It did not compare to anything else I had viewed previously and that means a lot when looking for something unique. I had not seen David Schwimmer in a serious role and he did well as did all the other actors.Surely this series did not have enough exposure...that is the only reason I can think of for AMC stating 'the show simply didn't achieve the results needed to move forward with a second season'.I am extremely disappointed and will miss the series even if it lived for only 1 season.

Keep in mind that I watched Bankerot after Feed the Beast. So I was not influenced by the original. It follows the story of two friends who are trying to open a restaurant. One is a prodigy cook who messes up everything and the other is a sommelier who is messed up by death of his wife. Add a mobster and son who hasn't spoken since his mothers death and you have yourself an interesting premise. Right? Well, no. While it is very similar to the original it manages only to be depressing and miserable, without being cute and quirky. The David Schwimmer character is like a more messed up version of Ross from Friends and Dion is just a world class pretentious douche. It tries to be be bigger and better than the series it's based on, but loses the intimacy and charm of the original. Watch only if you lost a bet. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and watch Bankerot.

This show is actually good and has some powerful messages for its viewers. It is up to the viewers how and what message they grab from this show. If you are looking for some fairy tale story in which everything gets good at the end of the episode then this show is not for you. Feed the Beast shows the reality and the challenges one has to face and the price one has to pay to dream big in a dark neighborhood. It is about optimism. Almost All the major characters had one thing in common. They all were optimistic in one way or the other! That's what life is all about. Never to lose hope and get your work done and move forward. Acting was good. Dialogues could have been better. No show is perfect but we should give this show another chance!
