When they’re onscreen together, as they are through much of this eight-episode Netflix series, they produce a palpable crackle of matching wits and complete commitment. “The Beast in Me” is hardly a two-hander; it boasts a strong supporting cast, and the assured tone of showrunner Howard Gordon (who co-created “Homeland,” the series for which Danes won two Emmys) and creator Gabe Rotter. But the fire comes from Danes and Rhys, who won his own Emmy for “The Americans.”

Danes’ work feels familiar (she can really cry on a dime, huh?), but she still makes Aggie’s tension and trauma feel new and lived-in. And Rhys is enigmatic as he gets lost in Nile’s thornier, more sociopathic side, with a jolting finale monologue that rivals the one he delivered in The Americans‘ sendoff. And anchored by those performances, The Beast In Me‘s snappy premise turns into an evocative and binge-worthy exploration of the human condition.
