Review of Beef

Beef (2023– )
6/10
Questionable 9-10 star reviews
15 April 2023
After seeing the positive reviews I was really looking forward to a quality dark comedy and/or drama that incapsulates this generation's anger management issues (aka road rage). The cast seemed good (albeit racially homogenous which would be controversial if it were all-white). Nevertheless, it seemed to mimic a lot of the current trends from shows such as White Lotus or films such as Parasite where the viewer gets a close look at unravelling existential crises among a diverse group of characters.

My problem was that it was far too stretched out. Exciting at times, but also shallow & slow pretty frequently. It felt a bit more wacky and exaggerated as the show progressed, especially the last 2 episodes. Was it watchable? Sure. Was it a masterpiece like some others here claim? Absolutely not.
