Review of Beef

Beef (2023– )
10/10
Rip the heart from a Millennial's chest
8 April 2023
First of all, if you're a film fanatic like me, all I have to say is, "A24." Once I see that in the opening credits, I'm 100% sold and I'm NEVER disappointed. I want to watch weird, insane, mind bending, heart punching entertainment-and I know I'll be left WOWED if it's an A24 Production.

Now, about the series itself: anyone and everyone can enjoy this series because it explores who we are and what it is to be human. But most specifically, if you're a Millennial like me (born 1985 here), it will feel like it was made just for you-and just just because of all the 90s and 2000s songs we ALL know by heart that play at all the right moments! Our generation have a very unique experience on this earth and I INSTANTLY recognized the feeling portrayed in this show. If you know, you know.

I went into this just being a big fan of Ali Wong, got super hyped to find A24, and ended with sorrow, hope, love, faith, despair, and joy all rolled into a SPECTACULAR ending. I'm refraining from reviewing the actual story, characters, etc. Because I don't want to spoil a single thing for anyone. This is a series to be experienced organically and uninterrupted. It deserves your undivided attention and your whole heart. If not, you'll definitely miss flash moments that tie the story together. Just pay attention and hold on because you're in for an F'n ride! Storytelling at its finest!
