Kicking off Quickly, The smallest of interactions. Escalates into A full-scale beef very well paced. First episode makes you wonder will they be able to keep it up for the series. The beef is cooked perfectly lots of twists and turns. Netflix often have these filler episodes just to make 10. This doesn't feel like it has any filler with the new angle each episode and a cliff hanger making it tough to not binge watch the next one. This is a strong offering from Netflix with Steven Yeun from the walking dead and A lady, I formally known as a comedian Ali Wong proving to be quite the actress with a strong supporting cast one of the best things I've seen on Netflix for awhile.

Saw this on the top of Netflix and ended up watching it all in one sitting.

I am obsessed with this show. I don't think I've ever watched anything like it. Steven Yuen was amazing, especially as I'm a walking dead fan.

The twists and turns and the constant train crashes that happen are insane. But also it looks at a more deeper level of the rawness of humans and really delves into some scary truths about happiness and never knowing yourself. One of my favourite shows this year, loved everything and don't really have anything negative to say.

Honestly watch it and I promise. You won't be disappointed!

Beef is about two strangers that are unhappy in their lives until one day they both reach their boiling point in a road rage incident. What follows is absolute chaos. Each episode just gets more and more ridiculous at the lengths these two are willing to go. It stars Steven Yeun and Ali Womg. The one reason I was hesitant about watching this is I didn't think those two could lead a series...I was wrong. They both do an incredible job. It goes to show how ridiculous road rage can be and will probably make you think twice about honking your horn at some stranger. Don't be surprised to see see this show get a few nominations during award season.

This was a really good series. I sat down to watch one episode and I wound up on my butt for 5 hours until it was over. I think I would describe it as a dark comedy. I don't like anything but I liked this one. Although almost the entire cast is asian, there is no casting of non-Asians as bad. (I wrongfully assumed this was the direction this series would take.).

Now here's the part that scares me: as Netflix does, when they get a popular series they come back with a season 2, 3, 4, and maybe 5. DON'T DO IT!! There's very few places for a second season to go. If you do you're going to destroy the series.

I came into this completely blind. Never saw the trailer but knew it was going to be Asian American centered. I thought it was going to be a comedy since Ali Wong is in it! I was very wrong.

This is a gripping drama about two people living parallel lives in different circumstances. Money, status, and mental health are key topics covered in this series with a unique Asian American cultural twist. Steven Yeun delivers, as always, but I was also very pleasantly surprised by Ali Wong's performance! She excelled in this serious role.

I loved watching the unraveling of the two main character's lives as their lives become increasingly worse. Of course, they have been miserable for a long time, but the collision serves as an effective catalyst for these two who have completely "had it" with their lives. They have met their match in each other and use each other as punching bags as an outlet, even though they're experiencing similar issues. Something as trivial as a road rage incident evolves into worse and worse situations for the both of them.

The writing is effective and well paced. The viewer gets a great sense of why these people are the way they are. There is no clear cut hero and villain archetype but rather two humans dealing with more than they can manage - something everyone can relate to.
