Apple’s New Psychological Drama “Before” Shocks Audiences with Billy Crystal’s Serious Turn
In a surprising twist, comedic legend Billy Crystal takes on a dramatic role in Apple’s latest psychological thriller “Before”. Crystal plays child psychologist Eli Adler, a grieving widower haunted by the recent suicide of his wife, Lynn. This departure from Crystal’s usual comedic persona adds an unsettling layer to the series.
Eli’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a troubled young boy, Noah, who refuses to speak and exhibits disturbing behavior. As Eli delves deeper into Noah’s case, he uncovers eerie connections between the boy’s visions and his own deceased wife’s belongings.
With only two episodes aired out of the planned ten, viewers are captivated by the intricate web of mysteries surrounding Eli and Noah. Writer and creator Sarah Thorp skillfully weaves together seemingly unrelated elements, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.
But the true standout of “Before” is Crystal’s compelling performance as Eli. The actor showcases a depth and emotional range previously unseen in his comedic roles, delivering a heart-wrenching portrayal of grief and confusion.
As the series unfolds, audiences are left eagerly anticipating the resolution of the gripping storyline and the revelation of the ultimate mystery. “Before” proves that Billy Crystal is not only a master of comedy, but also a powerhouse in the world of drama.
