The Beast in Me Clare Danes and Mathew Rhys

[EachandEveryone]

I’ve loved him since brothers and sisters.

Ive just watch the first episode and I don’t know whether to clean the kitchen first or just watch the second one. I don’t know how many have dropped but it is so good. She is her usual worried manic sell and he is a very good baddie.

i hope sone of you will agree with me

Just finished it. I found it really good, edge of my seat stuff. Loved the soundtrack and also loved Mathew Rhys who I thought played Nile soooo well.

I just finished it too. They did manage to stick the landing!

It was when the camera cut to the watching dogs that did it for me.

The soundtrack along with the general vibe is reminding me of Beef , which I loved.

Yeah Beef was amazing too, but I think was more cynical and zeitgeisty, for me it had a different vibe. This feels more elemental.

Watched the first three episodes yesterday and am really enjoying it. I love CD. I agree she has a style but it’s one I like. Elizabeth Moss and Nicola Walker are other actresses I think have certain acting traits that they carry through all roles they do and I like them too.

Niles is fabulous and I like that he’s charming and funny is a true narcissist way which makes him incredibly difficult to read.

I loved the first episode, but then gave up as I found the violence in later episodes too sickening. It was disappointing as I had high hopes after reading rave reviews. I did love Steve the dog though, he looked like a little lamb!

I'm five episodes in now. So far I haven't seen a great deal of violence actually shown, because it's cut away from. But it's so tense that I'm all strung out watching it anyway. The dancing to Psycho Killer was hilarious, a real treat to watch.

Yes it was. Such a classic track.

I’ve finished it now. Will wait to discuss when others have caught up

I’ve just finished it. Incredible. What a cast! Brilliant writing.

I'm loving lots of soundtracks recently. People my age are obviously doing well in TV.

It’s very good. We are watching it properly together with no phones. Had to look away at the violence though.

Clare Danes is so good. Refreshing to see a normal woman around my age on screen with wrinkles whose face moves.

Am enjoying this at mo we are on episode 5. Anyone else think Clare Danes looks like Glenda Jackson back in the day?

@Empress13 Yes, I was thinking Glenda Jackson too as I was watching last night. I also agree @TheaBrandt1 about the naturalness of CDs face. It's refreshing to see an actress with a normally aging face.

I really liked this. Both Matthew Rhys and Clare Danes were great and had fabulous chemistry. Some parts OTT but overall pretty good. Just loved MR's dance to Psycho Killers. He really relished this role.

Oh god the violence though. He really is a monster very apt title.

I loved the chemistry between them too.

How disturbing would it be a feel a connection to someone has horrible as he was!

Wasn't sold on the ending. Love CD but MR was a bit samey and flat.

I did think the key scene in the final episode was a bit obvious. From the moment she came into the bedroom I knew exactly what was happening and I’m not sure I found it realistic given how he had been to that point. But still a great series.

I love it.

Claire and Matthew are Amazing IMO

They are both so happy to be "ugly" / real / unlikable and they play slightly unhinged people so well!!!!

It's so british of me but it keeps coming to the fore of my.mind when watching - if he's loaded amd she's cash strapped why is her "renovation" house stunning and amazing while his is a pile.of shit / Barratt Home McMansion. 😅

I lost some interest half way through when the political sub plot began. I was also hoping for some twists but everything was predictable.

I started this yesterday and finished watching tonight

I really liked it, the music and everything.

One thing that made me laugh was she was living in that big house all by herself ... the one she rushed back to and "locked" the rickety door to keep herself safe - like that would do it - there was lots of glass windows a maniac could smash through (!)

I was just glad the dog made it

I have just finished it, absolutely loved it, i spun it out over a few nights watching. Sad its over 😢. Hope you enjoy it!
