The title is already making rounds on the Internet, thanks to its gritty and suspenseful premise and strong performances from Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys.While The Beast in Me boasts an impressive and suspenseful story, fans are especially loving the dynamic between Aggie and Nile. The show stars with Danes' character, Aggie, who is a recently divorced author, struggling with the death of her young son. She spends most of her time in her large five-bedroom house in a wealthy suburb in New York. Riding off on the success of her first book, Aggie is currently struggling to write her second novel and is in search of an intriguing subject.To make things easy (or difficult) for Aggie, Matthew Rhys' Nile, a wealthy real estate mogul, moves into her neighborhood, setting forth a harrowing mystery. Nile is not only cunning and charming, but also the prime suspect in his first wife's murder.As the narrative builds, Aggie becomes entangled in Nile's enigmatic life, partly because she sees a potential subject for her book in him. Breaking down Aggie and Nile's dynamic in the series, Danes continued:''I had never really seen a dynamic between two characters like this before and I thought it was a really rich conceit...I think Nile's character was really tricky. It took a while to make full sense of that. I mean the character is mercurial.''The Beast in Me star Matthew Rhys breaks down his character's darkness View this post on Instagram Instagram PostWhile Danes was fascinated by the characters' dynamic, Rhys was attracted by Nile's darkness in The Beast in Me. Even before the enigmatic mogul is introduced on-screen, Aggie and the audiences gets a fair picture about the character, thanks to the rumours going about his personal life.In their interview with Decider, Rhys takes a moment to appreciate the nuanced layers of his character and how he approached Nile in the series:''I found this kind of you know incredibly dark wooded pathway towards Nile based on my own personal experiences.''He added:''The setup of him by others does the real heavy lifting and the hard work for you. So by the time you're introduced, the audience have this preconceived idea of who he is or who he might be...kind of just keeping him both intriguing to Aggie and also you know a little bit dark, a little bit alluring, a little bit dangerous, but ultimately interesting and not too much of a psycho.''Part of the charm in The Beast in Me lies in the dangerous game played by the characters. Aggie is both frightened and fascinated by Nile's enigmatic character, which results in a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue.The Beast in Me is streaming on Netflix.For the latest scoops on your favorite TV shows and movies, follow SoapCentral.
