Hello, welcome back to the Presage TV podcast me and I'm Joina Robinson.

I'm Rob Mahoney.

And this is our second of three Prestige TV episodes this week, Rob. It's a

corticopia, pre-Thanksgiving cornucopia of television. I'm overwhelmed, but honestly,

overwhelmed with good television. There's a lot going on. There's a lot worth checking out,

including this one surprised me, Joe. The Beast in Me has been a delightful presence in my life.

Okay, so The Beast in Me, which is an eight-episode Netflix binge drop that dropped over the weekend.

Rob and I are going to talk about the whole thing.

Maybe not the whole thing right away, but spoilers are on the table for this.

And this is like very much a sort of, you know, if you haven't, uh, maybe let's do like a top

top line recommendation, right?

Should we watch it or should you not?

This is Claridane's and, uh, of Claire Dane's fame and Matthew Reese of the Americans fame.

And, um, Claire Dane's plays a writer and Matthew Reese plays a, a shitty, super rich real estate mogul who moves in next door

and he is sort of infamously known for perhaps killing his previous wife. His current wife

is Briggs-Snow. Perhaps. Who's to say? Who's to say? And so she sort of gets drawn into this question of like, did he or did he not?

It is very much in the sort of like not to get too gendered about it, sort of like women's fiction sort of, I would say ever since big little lies happen, this iteration. we've got kind of, we've gotten a lot of,

I would say, not tremendously great versions of this this year with like the better sister,

the girlfriend, hunting wives, all of her fault. Like there's just like a bunch of iterations of

this. And then I would say this is like top line creme de la creme of this kind of story without getting into sort of like major plot beats or major specifics, sort of like what's your top line?

Should people watch this show?

Who's going to like this show, Rob?
