This show is about two complete strangers who get involved in a road race incident. And because of their inability to make better choices, chaos ensues and they end up creating havoc in their lives.

I wasn't sure if I would like it when Episode 1 began. But with each episode, it just got better and better.

The characters frustrated you with their choices. But they weren't one dimensional. And because of that, you found yourself rooting for them to do the right thing just once, in the hopes that they would have happy endings.

Both Ali Wong and Steven Yeun were wonderful in their respective roles. I also enjoyed the performances of the supporting cast members like Young Mazino, Joseph Lee and Justin H Min.

Please give this show a chance. You will not be disappointed.

This was a really good series. I sat down to watch one episode and I wound up on my butt for 5 hours until it was over. I think I would describe it as a dark comedy. I don't like anything but I liked this one. Although almost the entire cast is asian, there is no casting of non-Asians as bad. (I wrongfully assumed this was the direction this series would take.).

Now here's the part that scares me: as Netflix does, when they get a popular series they come back with a season 2, 3, 4, and maybe 5. DON'T DO IT!! There's very few places for a second season to go. If you do you're going to destroy the series.

Kicking off Quickly, The smallest of interactions. Escalates into A full-scale beef very well paced. First episode makes you wonder will they be able to keep it up for the series. The beef is cooked perfectly lots of twists and turns. Netflix often have these filler episodes just to make 10. This doesn't feel like it has any filler with the new angle each episode and a cliff hanger making it tough to not binge watch the next one. This is a strong offering from Netflix with Steven Yeun from the walking dead and A lady, I formally known as a comedian Ali Wong proving to be quite the actress with a strong supporting cast one of the best things I've seen on Netflix for awhile.

I came into this completely blind. Never saw the trailer but knew it was going to be Asian American centered. I thought it was going to be a comedy since Ali Wong is in it! I was very wrong.

This is a gripping drama about two people living parallel lives in different circumstances. Money, status, and mental health are key topics covered in this series with a unique Asian American cultural twist. Steven Yeun delivers, as always, but I was also very pleasantly surprised by Ali Wong's performance! She excelled in this serious role.

I loved watching the unraveling of the two main character's lives as their lives become increasingly worse. Of course, they have been miserable for a long time, but the collision serves as an effective catalyst for these two who have completely "had it" with their lives. They have met their match in each other and use each other as punching bags as an outlet, even though they're experiencing similar issues. Something as trivial as a road rage incident evolves into worse and worse situations for the both of them.

The writing is effective and well paced. The viewer gets a great sense of why these people are the way they are. There is no clear cut hero and villain archetype but rather two humans dealing with more than they can manage - something everyone can relate to.

Beef is about two strangers that are unhappy in their lives until one day they both reach their boiling point in a road rage incident. What follows is absolute chaos. Each episode just gets more and more ridiculous at the lengths these two are willing to go. It stars Steven Yeun and Ali Womg. The one reason I was hesitant about watching this is I didn't think those two could lead a series...I was wrong. They both do an incredible job. It goes to show how ridiculous road rage can be and will probably make you think twice about honking your horn at some stranger. Don't be surprised to see see this show get a few nominations during award season.
