After years of making his name in comedy, fans of Billy Crystal will need to shed their preconceptions before they delve into his new Apple TV+ thriller, Before. Crystal stars as Eli, a child psychiatrist who's haunted by the loss of his wife Lynn.

The comedic actor is taking a dramatic turn in Apple TV+'s psychological thriller that's reminiscent of 'The Sixth Sense.'

Crystal’s return to the screen is not, in fact, in a comedy series. Though you might be confused after watching the baffling, misbegotten “Before.”

WHAT IT'S ABOUT Eli (Billy Crystal) is a New York psychiatrist who has decided to give up his practice following the tragic death of his wife, Lynn (Judith Light) — until he's presented with one last case that he can't resist.
