‘The Beast in Me’ Premieres on Netflix to Strong Lead Performances and Plotting Critiques

From creator Gabe Rotter with showrunner Howard Gordon, the eight-episode psychological thriller pairs Claire Danes with Matthew Rhys in a binge-release cat-and-mouse story.

Overview

  • All eight episodes are now streaming on Netflix following the Nov. 13 premiere.
  • The story tracks grieving author Aggie Wiggs as she grows entangled with her neighbor Nile Jarvis, a real-estate magnate suspected in his wife’s disappearance.
  • Early reviews widely praise Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys, while noting uneven plotting and a rushed conclusion.
  • The series comes from Gabe Rotter with Howard Gordon as showrunner and direction by Antonio Campos, with executive producers including Jodie Foster and Conan O’Brien.
  • Spoiler-heavy finale explainers are already circulating from outlets such as People, so viewers seeking a blind watch should avoid those pieces.
