I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Glitch

Only on episode two but I love the idea and it’s it’s got loads of cool concepts within already.

Worth a spin

Beef was a fucking ride! Loved the acting and the production and videography (is that a word??).

The storyline kinda just kept escalating.

Great package all in all.

I don't think I've disliked anything that I've seen Steven Yeun in.

They left the ending of Beef totally open fire season two but I hope they leave it there.

How could you even try do that again or top it?

Pure mental series. So good though :)

yeah, i think the finale works as a closer. I read somewhere that for the creators that story has ended but they could do another season with a different story.
Spoiler: show
i kinda loved the ending, those two couldnt really be apart that much

I'm on Ep. 5 of Beef. I really like when they focus on the actual beef between the main characters. Sometimes it gets a little sidetracked. I get that's the point of these long shows, to flesh out every supporting character and go on and on, but I'd prefer a more astute version. Don't get me wrong. This is a really good show. Just a bit long-winded at times.

perhaps what i liked the most about this show was how dark and how good they fleshed out all of its characters. I was expecting a comedy about these two fighting and doing fucked up stuff to each other and got very surprised with the drama and how deeply emotional it was.

OK I came around. What a great show. Great ending. Fun soundtrack choices. Man, sigh... really entertaining and surprising.

The Diplomat is pretty ok on Netflix. Keri Russell was so good in The Americans. This is no way near that but I guess fun to see her back again.
