Apple TV Plus has released the trailer for the new psychological thriller Before, and Billy Crystal's dark side is truly chilling in his first dramatic lead, who seems straight out of The sixth sense.
Say goodbye to romantic comedy heartthrob Harry Burns from comedy legend. When Harry met Sally, and greets tortured psychiatrist Eli as Crystal takes on a role like she's never done before.
Crystal flexes her dramatic muscles in the Before trailer (see below) in which he plays Eli, a grieving child psychiatrist who develops a connection with troubled young man Noah (Jacobi Jupe). However, things soon take a supernatural turn when Noah draws sinister pictures of a mysterious farm and scratches symbols on Eli's door until his fingers bleed.
A particularly sinister moment is when Noah tells Eli with wide, terrified eyes, “You know what you did,” before the trailer cuts to Eli's deceased wife, Lynn (Judith Light), lying in a bathtub. It seems that Eli is hiding dark secrets, but what they are remains to be seen when Before lands on one of the best streaming services on October 25.

Look
Before is another compelling character-driven thriller that can be added alongside films like black bird, lady in the lake, and bright girls . The 10-episode series follows Eli, a child psychiatrist who is mourning the loss of his wife, Lynn. Soon after, she meets a disturbed young man named Noah, who has a strange connection to her past. As she tries to help Noah, their peculiar bond deepens.
Eli is a man clearly haunted by his past, and his late wife's presence is still felt in the house, serving as a constant reminder of Eli's dark past. One thing's for sure, though, Crystal's intense gaze and husky voice greatly showcase her new dark side and could be a winner for our best Apple TV plus shows. Also starring alongside Crystal is Rosie Pérez (The stewardess), Maria Dizzia (Orange is the new black), and Ava Lalezarzadeh (In the tulip garden).
