In BEEF, two strangers cross paths during a road rage incident, becoming enemies for life. Lee Sung Jin’s (Dave, Undone) new series is about an escalating conflict where two people refuse to back down, leading to acts of revenge that become more dangerous with each new strike. While this is the perfect concept for a wacky dark comedy that invites the audience to laugh at the situation's absurdity, BEEF offers a slow-burn story where things take their due time to set every player in the game before things truly get out of hand. While BEEF’s initial pacing might push some people away, those willing to stick around will get what they came for. That’s because the Netflix series rewards patient viewers with a layered exploration of mental health, human morality, and how everyday chaos shapes our lives.
