Beef (Netflix)
Two people let a road rage incident burrow into their
minds and slowly consume their every thought and action.
A show that acts as the best portrait of today's current
culture of supercharged emotional beings and how that
lack of control over one's emotions can have severe
consequences. Starring Steven Yeun and
Ali Wong, we follow two people from
completely different walks of life who end up colliding
after a rage-filled encounter in a parking lot turns
into a car chase and elevates to much more severe things
as each individual looks to get revenge on the other,
and we watch as they go to darker and darker places
trying to make their points and making themselves look
worse in the process.
