The Beast in Me - Drunk Monk - 11-15-2025
New 8 hour long ep mini series where Clair Danes can be all insane. She plays a Pulitzer Prize winning author who’s had years of writers block after her son was killed in by a drunk driver and her wife left her. Rhys Davis plays an asshole tycoon who moves in Jeff door and may have killed his previous wife.
It’s a decent thriller although a tad heavy on the nerve wracking violin soundtrack. It all hinges on Danes over the top performance and she’s great at playing mentally disturbed characters. I like it so far…

Just 2 more eps to go which I’ll probably finish tomorrow night.
The scenes between Clair & Rhys are fire. It’s a tense show - been keeping me on edge throughout. A solid thriller and so much Carrie cry face (IYKYK). There’s quite a Homeland vibe even though this is such a different story. The twistiness and the deceptions make it so. Both Stacy & I are enjoying it but we both loved Homeland. https://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomForum/showthread.php?tid=4372

That was excellent. Totally stuck the landing. Well worth the watch if you like twisting thrillers. Hitchcockian with modern sensibilities. We both enjoyed it. And it’s not a cliffhanger ending teasing season 2. It’s a complete tale and every puzzle piece falls into place. At the end, we kinda wished Aggie was an incarnation of Carrie (of Homeland, not Stephen King).
