Reception for The Beast :
Patrick Swayze's performance was highly praised.
- Alan Sepinwall writes "...you watch Swayze in "The Beast", and you realize that this is the best performance of his career - that the opportunity to play a part like this, and to play it as well as he is, may be fueling his ability to keep fighting against the cancer. And you realize, in an odd silver lining, that the cancer may, in turn, be fueling the performance".
- The New York Times writes that "Patrick Swayze's performance... is impressive for its resistance to cliché...".
- Suzan Young writes: "Patrick Swayze gives the performance of a lifetime as the hard-edged FBI agent Charles Barker in A&E's The Beast".
- Ray Richmond writes: "'Beast' has a far grittier feel and look than one would suspect from a show starring Swayze – not to mention one on A&E. The action often is energetic and intriguing but is sometimes brought down by Fimmel's uneven performance. …What's unmistakable is the killer work of the star. May the man somehow beat the odds and fight defiantly on".
- Kelly West writes: "For an original series, I think A&E has something great on their hands. The Beast is definitely drama series with an edge, showing the darker, grittier side to FBI undercover work".
