Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys star in “The Beast in Me,” the new thriller that‘s quickly become one of Netflix’s most popular movies. If you’re looking for a suspenseful watch with a great cast, here’s everything you should know about this latest hit.
This eight-episode show stars Rose Danes as Aggie Wiggs, a writer who can’t seem to write anything after losing her son. Her creative slump ends when a new neighbor, Nile Jarvis, played by Rhys, moves in next door.
Nile, the son of a wealthy property developer, arrives with his wife, Nina (Brittany Snow), but he’s carrying some baggage. He was previously suspected of killing his first wife, though he claims he had no involvement.

In a four-star review, Digital Spy described the series as “absorbing” and “gripping.” We noted that it builds suspense gradually, prioritizing a chilling atmosphere before escalating into more intense danger.
If you choose to watch The Beast in Me, and I highly recommend you do, don’t go in expecting a lot of shocking twists and turns. It has a few surprises here and there, but the show isn’t built on relying on typical thriller tricks to keep you engaged.
