The Beast in Me

Claire Danes plays the super caffeinated neurotic better than anyone. Eyebrows jumping up and down, eyes darting left and right, and the famous lip wobble. All going on at the same time. It's tough to watch. They dial her part back at episode 7 and it's a welcome relief. The show is entertaining for sure and worth the watch but too much of the jittery Danes almost had me turning it off more than a few times.

I enjoyed this but Clare Danes character sounded like she was mid panic attack throughout every episode, which kind of spoilt things a bit. It was very offputting in my opinion. Matthew Rhys's character was suitably creepy.....the chicken scene in particular. Well filmed, well acted overall, I quite enjoyed it.

A tense cat-and-mouse thriller that keeps you hooked with its twists, even if it stretches believability toward the end. The pacing makes it easy to binge, and the emotional beats land - especially thanks to Matthew Rhys, who absolutely steals the show as Nile Jarvis. His performance adds unexpected depth and charisma to the chaos, making every scene he's in feel sharper and more unpredictable.

But I don't think Claire Danes is right for this role... She plays her character exactly like she did in Homeland. A lot of breathing and panting and exaggerated figure. She obviously had a diagnosis in Homeland, but in this role she should have calmed down a bit.

It will be exciting to see the continuation.

I started watching the series without any expectations, and only because the storyline is one of my favorites: psychological and criminal. The series is magnificent from every angle, the best I've seen this year, and let me tell you, I watch a lot!

I don't know the two main actors, with the roles of Angie and Nile in the series, but I never compare it to other shows because each actor wears a different wig in every role they play, that's why they are called actors.

All the actors are simply magnificent and the tension grows as the series progresses; I didn't find it predictable at all, on the contrary, there is a lot of edge of your sofa situations and unexpected twists.

If you like crime thrillers then this one won't dissapoint you.

It is an artistic thriller!

Creepy, tense, unsettling, and just a great psychological masterpiece.
