    Unlike other series, “Sexy Beast” never feels like it’s overstaying its welcome, even at eight episodes, as it feeds in backstory and psychological details that we all but gulp down in voyeuristic fascination. It’s one of the biggest surprises of this new year.

    The new Sexy Beast isn’t quite as electric as its source material, but to match that film’s vibrancy would be a major feat in itself. Still, it manages to do justice to these three iconic characters as it shows their rises to power. Oh—and, by God, it is sexy as all hell.
