The world of streaming is buzzing with talk of The Beast in Me, a psychological thriller series that has captivated audiences with its dark intensity and stunning performances. Yet, amidst the unfolding drama of murder and paranoia, a surprising concern has dominated online discussions: the fate of one small, innocent character. Viewers are on the edge of their seats, terrified that this beloved canine could become a casualty of the show's ominous tone, leading to widespread speculation: Is the dog alive or dead?

This dual layer of human drama and heartfelt worry for a furry friend only deepens the series' intrigue.

The Beast in Me is Netflix’s latest binge-worthy thriller, yet much of the conversation revolves around the series' most adorable feature: a little white dog named Steve. Throughout the early episodes, there are several moments where Steve is left completely unsupervised, raising genuine alarm and prompting fears for his well-being. Thankfully, the anxiety can be put to rest: nothing bad happens to Steve and he survives the entire show.

Introduced in the very first episode, Steve is the treasured pet of Claire Danes’ character, Aggie, and holds deep sentimental value as he was named by her late son. This connection makes him a symbol of Aggie’s lingering grief and humanity. Niles Jarvis’ large guard dogs are also safe throughout the series, though they experience a brief, stressful encounter when they are drugged.

If the suspense is not enough, the core narrative of The Beast in Me provides a powerful reason to immerse oneself in the psychological drama.

The series immediately grips the viewer with a devastating opening shot of a bloody-faced Aggie Wiggs (Claire Danes) staring at the scene where a drunk driving accident killed her son. Four years later, as the anniversary looms, Aggie is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, but she is struggling financially and emotionally, with her simmering rage over the accident threatening to boil over at any moment.

The true conflict begins when she is confronted by her new, highly suspicious neighbor, Niles Jarvis (Matthew Rhys), a real estate developer whose reputation is already stained by the disappearance of his first wife. When Jarvis's large guard dogs approach her door, Aggie is drawn into a terrifying confrontation that forces her to reckon with her own darkness and the secrets her new neighbor might be hiding.
