What a wonderful series this is, finally a truly top-notch series on Netflix. As some rightly point out, the interaction between Danes and Rhys is especially fantastic; the two of them elevate the series even further. It held my full attention until the very end; it's truly a series perfect for relaxing on the sofa and binge-watching.
That role of Rhys would have been something for Anthony Hopkins when he was younger. But, as mentioned, Rhys is fantastic...

Although I was a bit itchy from Claire Danes's whiny face and stressed-out behavior, I found it an enjoyable series. Matthew Rhys excelled as the villain. What a cold stare that actor has. Simply terrifying.
It's a gripping series. Author Aggie struggles with relationship problems and writer's block. The creepy neighbor Nile isn't exactly the best at business or personal life. Of course, there are some misunderstood characters, like the FBI agent.
Nile always gets off too easily. The FBI should be able to dig deeper into Nile's business.
Netflix finally put out a good series here. And that's about it after yet another subscription increase.

In The Beast in Me, Claire Danes (Homeland, Fleischman Is in Trouble) plays a neurotic writer lost in her own grief and anxiety. Danes employs all her familiar tics and tricks, but because of this, the true soul of her character is sometimes lacking. Co-star Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason) convincingly portrays a compulsive troublemaker and provides a solid foil for Danes.
As executive producer, Danes is also supported by none other than Jodie Foster. With such big names, expectations are naturally high. Perhaps too high, because while The Beast in Me is solidly made, the series remains textbook and predictable. The whole thing feels less surprising than you'd hope with so much talent both in front of and behind the camera.
That doesn't change the fact that The Beast in Me is a smooth and enjoyable thriller that will undoubtedly captivate a wide audience. In short: feel free to look the beast in the eye.
