    It’s an emotionally charged story populated by complex characters, some of whom your heart will ache for, while others you’ll simply love to loathe. If the show can keep up this momentum moving into its second half, it might justify a BritBox subscription all on its own.

    Beast becomes a suspensefully offbeat variation of the country-house mystery, not a whodunit but a how-will-she-do-it. [19 Jul - 1 Aug 2021, p.7]

    More often than not, that structure comes off stiff and clunky rather than genuine and flowing. ... That’s not to say that the dialogue from Gaby Chiappe, who adapted Cecil Day-Lewis’ novel (though seems to change quite a bit, including Frances’ gender) isn’t sharp. It’s what we enjoyed about the first episode the most, including Jumbo’s and Howle’s performances (Harris doesn’t appear until Episode 2). But we just wish Frances’ way to George didn’t look so damned easy.
