A new series is proving to be a hit with viewers on Netflix, and it’s wowing critics too.
Beef is a dark comedy from A24, which is the production company behind movies such as Everything Everywhere All At Once, Uncut Gems, Midsommar, Lady Bird and Moonlight, as well as TV shows including Euphoria.
The series stars The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun, who plays Danny, a down-on-his-luck contractor that gets involved in a massive road-rage incident with unfulfilled small business owner Amy (played by comedian Ali Wong).
The incident turns into a feud between the pair, which increasingly consumes their lives and threatens to destroy their families and businesses.
Since landing on Netflix a few days ago, it’s safe to say the show has gone down well. It currently has a score of 99 percent from critics on review aggregating website Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences give it a 90 percent rating on the same website.
Fans have taken to Twitter to praise the new show as well. One wrote: “Just watched #BEEFNetflix #beef and I'm blown away. The show is one of the best I've seen in a while, with incredible performances all around. Yeun and Wong are outstanding. The show is a perfect blend of humour, excitement, and tension. It's a definite winner for Netflix.”
Another commenter added: “Steven Yeun and Ali Wong absolutely killed in their performances . The drama, humour, and heartfelt emotion within the screen was amazing. Generational trauma, expectations, and the burden of repressed fury was FELT. Definitely will sit with me for a long time. #BEEFNetflix”
Someone else wrote: “#BEEFNetflix is a masterwork of pettiness and jaw-dropping escalation, riotously funny and genuinely profound, digging into how "hurt people" hurt people. Steven Yuen and Ali Wong give world-class performances. 2023's best TV series so far.”
The success of Beef follows A24’s Everything Everywhere All At Once sweeping up at this year’s Oscars. Find out which awards it picked up.
Beef is on Netflix now.
