"When someone says a "Lifetime movie," you know what to expect - an over-the-top melodrama often preying on suburban paranoia. A "Hallmark movie," on the other hand, evokes red-and-green sweaters and big-city women returning to their hometowns. In the era of streaming, these stereotypes are now applied to different services. Apple TV is known for its sci-fi, Disney+ for franchise TV,"
"Netflix The Beast In Me stars Claire Danes as Agatha "Aggie" Wiggs, a once-renowned true crime writer who is now languishing in a Long Island suburb, writing articles about boring historical subjects and living in a giant house she can no longer afford to renovate. She's still recovering from the loss of her young son in a car accident, which drove her away from her wife Shelley (Natalie Morales.)"
The Beast in Me centers on the complicated pairing of Niles Jarvis and Agatha "Aggie" Wiggs. Claire Danes portrays Aggie, a once-renowned crime writer now living in a Long Island suburb, writing about historical subjects and struggling to maintain a costly house while grieving the loss of her young son. Matthew Rhys plays Niles, the son of real estate mogul Martin Jarvis, who moved from the city amid suspicion in his wife's disappearance. Aggie and Niles enter a cautious alliance: Niles will speak on the record for a new book only if Aggie approaches him without bias. The series blends crime-thriller pacing with themes of class, trauma, and suspicion.
