‘Amazing’ Netflix drama is ‘fan favourite’ and ‘best | UK News

An intense and distinctive Netflix show has been described as the “best series ever” by followers and critics alike, and it is accessible on the streaming platform proper now. Beef is a comedy–drama tv anthology collection created by Lee Sung Jin for Netflix. It stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong alongside Joseph Lee, Young Mazino, David Choe, and Patti Yasutake. The ten-episode collection was launched on Netflix in early 2023.

The collection was met with instantaneous acclaim from critics, praising Yeun’s and Wong’s performances, as properly as the writing and directing. At the seventy fifth Primetime Emmy Awards, the collection received eight awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and appearing wins for Yeun and Wong. At the 81st Golden Globe Awards, it received in all three of its nominated classes, including Best Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film. A second collection has been confirmed, with filming accomplished; it is possible to be launched in 2026.

A abstract of the collection’ plot reads: “Beef centres on an escalating feud between two strangers, contractor Danny Cho and entrepreneur Amy Lau, after a road rage incident spirals into a destructive, life-ruining conflict. The ‘beef’ between them brings out their worst impulses and leads to a series of destructive acts that ensnare their families and sabotage their personal lives, all while they become increasingly obsessed with getting revenge on each other.”

Beef has a near-perfect 98% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics’ consensus stating: “Ali Wong and Steven Yeun are a diabolically watchable pair of adversaries in Beef, a prime cut comedy that finds the pathos in pettiness.”

One critic wrote: “It is one of the best explorations of obsession I’ve ever seen, especially because it’s such a strange and potent version of obsession between two strangers.”

“Disarmingly funny and increasingly nasty, it should make everyone think twice before honking at that idiot stranger who just pulled out in front of you,” added another.

Another reviewer said: “It manages to weave in unexpected love stories, fractured marriages and thwarted expectations, while never letting the philosophy get in the way of the point-scoring.”

A viewer proclaimed: “One of my all-time favourite seasons of television!”

Another said the collection was an “amazing piece of art”, while a third said it was the “best series I have ever seen”.

Beef is accessible to stream proper now on Netflix.
