Steven Yeun and Ali Wong play bitter rivals Danny Cho and Amy Lau in one of Netflix’s best shows, "BEEF." With humor and authenticity, the show explores feelings of loss, loneliness, and anger. Anger that is so venomous it’s channeled into unhealthy and destructive behavior. The intricate details and complex characters make it one of Ali Wong and Steven Yeun’s best projects. It’s a beautifully executed series that builds up to an explosive confrontation, and then the ending slows things down to a quiet but powerful final note.
The "BEEF" cast and crew are at ease in this semi-realistic but ridiculous world of pettiness and despair. Because of the sincerity in the writing and the outstanding performances by both leads, you’re allowed to embrace and enjoy the fun premise and deeply connect with its themes and messages. The ending highlights these themes in a way that feels honest and hopeful.
