    The series takes a lean 85-minute film and torturously stretches its plot points to gratuitous extremes, another modern show that comes across more like an awkwardly-extended movie than anything else.

    Not only is Sexy Beast a series that feels unnecessary, given its connections to a film that wasn’t a big hit a quarter century ago, but it doesn’t even rise to the level of being a good heist show on its own merits.
