Is anyone watching the new show Beef?

Is it about sizemeat?

Is it about one of the two guys that forces another to inject silicone into his nutsack?

I watched it OP and enjoyed although it's not something I'd recommend if you're in a fragile emotional state.

Kudos to the soundtrack coordinator. I was happy to hear Tori's Cornflake Girl which was also in one of the new episodes of Yellowjackets.

R3, yes, loving the 90s soundtrack.

it's getting great reviews.

I was planning to make a thread about it later today, I loved it so much. Binged the whole thing in two days, I can't recall the last time I had so much fun with a TV show. And that last episode gave me such a catharsis, my deep depression eased a bit for the first time in more than a year. So I actually would recommend it to people who've been stuck in that place for a while. Amazon's Undone had a similar effect on me.

The writing is delicious, the directing is sharp as hell, you've already mentioned the amazing soundtrack, and the guys are so handsome. Especially Young Mazino, I really hope his career takes off big after this.

Is it an all asian cast?

R7, mostly but not all.

Yes I am in the middle of it. Writing and direction are sterling. There’s a sense in the plot and in the casting and subculture (assimilated Los Ángeles Asian-Americans of varying ethnicities and classes) that there’s something new here.

Also Ali Wongs character seems to be thinly veiled autobiography — marital problems with less successful husband…

I really liked it and also thought that the Asian male leads were all sexy

I watched the first episode and look forward to watching more. Honestly, it’s sad a network didn’t have faith in the show…it’s quite good and would be amazing if it were allowed to air over the course of several weeks.

Which network passed up on this show, I can't find any info on that? I think the fact it's a self-contained mini series is probably what bothered them more than the story itself. Can't milk that the way networks would like it.

I don’t have proof a network officially passed on the show…i just consider Netflix as a dumping ground where executives throw spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. I can’t imagine Netflix was the first place the show was pitched…i think it should’ve been picked up by Hulu, where it could at least go to a weekly schedule after the first few episode are released.

Anyway, I agree wholeheartedly with R9 about the male leads. Asian men aren’t usually at the top of my list, but the show has reminded me how idiotic it is to write off an entire group of people.

Excellent writing. Everyone is all in. Has me as hooked as six feet under. I have to control myself to only watch two episodes a day so I can savor the quality.

I wanted to reference something towards the end, but I see now most here haven't finished it yet, so maybe let's wait with the full-on spoilers for a few days.

Was anyone else reminded of the movie Parasite when they saw Amy's large foyer?

I'm waiting for the porn parody: "Beef Curtains."

I finished the last episode tonight and BEEF is sensational. Best series of 2023 so far. Steven Yuen and Ali Wong were did their best work.

This episode of the podcast The Watch has an interview with the creator and director. Contrary to r12, they said that they always positioned the series to air Netflix.

Is that the one with the tiny Asian woman with the huge bobble head?

I love Steve Yeun. The guy that plays his brother is FUCKING hot. Great show.

I'm force-feeding myself that new Reese Witherspoon-produced misery porn with Kathryn Hahn on Hulu -- she's great, however the flashbacks with Merritt Wever are pure torture designed in a frau lab -- when all I want to do is just drop everything and rewatch the shit out of this show. And I never rewatch things anymore because there's so much stuff out there. It's just that good.

r18 Where the hell has his brother been all our lives? He's SUCH a delight and hot to death.

[quote]And that last episode gave me such a catharsis, my deep depression eased a bit for the first time in more than a year.

MARY!

Loved Beef and I generally hate 90% of TV & movies lately. I also feel ahead of the curve for once because not that many people (people I know, at least) are talking about it. It was recommended on Facebook by a lighting design guy from my high school. Granted, I just moved so I’m completely distracted, but I had not even heard of it.

I hope a lot people don’t think “oh it’s an Asian thing” and not give it a chance. I think that makes it even better…especially the subtle asides and moments when they reference the difference between Americans of Chinese, Korean, & Japanese descent. It’s new ground but it is not the focus of the show in the least.

Just started it. 2 episodes in. Hasn't hooked me. Hope it does. Please no spoilers. It just came out ...

I'll wait for the French version, which will of course be called "Boeuf!"

I plowed through it in two nights. Couldn’t wait to get home from work to finish it. It was really exciting and felt like I was watching something “new”, if that makes sense? Definitely haven’t seen anything like this before. Yeun is stellar. Ali Wong’s husband was very handsome, and the actor playing Yuen’s brother was simply HOT.

r20 I don't know why you'd Mary me, I've been depressed for twenty years now which has ruined my life, and it's gotten worse this past year thanks to the cancer. Alleviating it even a little bit means I don't think about suicide all day long.

Hopefully you never get to experience that yourself.

Genius...

I just started it and came here to see if there was a thread lol. Just on the first episode but it's extremely well done.

Anything Steven Yeun is in tends to be good.

So this is super believable.

I’m Vegan 🌱

Beef.. it’s what’s for dinner. 😈

I think the husband is way hotter than the brother.

Such a good show - very captivating.

This show only confirms what I’ve long known to be true: Koreans tend to be the hottest Asian men.

r27 Nope

Overrated, overhyped. I watched 3 episodes and couldn't stand all the Korean style of emotional outbursts. I gave up!

Moron ^

R34 Yassssssssssss Kween

I absolutely loved the first few episodes, but I thought it really dragged in the middle and I found the last couple of episodes to be laugh out loud terrible.

Partner & I started Saturday & are on our last episode (for tonight).

The 90s soundtracks takes me back to the 90s when I lived in LA (where the story is set).

Pivoting with unsuspected turns; a departure from what we normally see these days. The mostly Asian cast & watered-down Asian-American perspective is a unique angle but the plot line reaches to anyone.

What's most captivating about it is how sharp it reaches to anyone who's ever valued their being by who and what they have been/done for others.

Not gonna lie, it speaks to me as a 47 yo prioritizing myself for the first time ever in life. I mean really choosing me and what fulfills me--- not family, friends, society, or even my partner.

Wise ^

[quote]It’s probably the best Netflix show I’ve seen since The Crown.

Thanks, OP. That tells us everything we need to know about your taste and and a new show to avoid.

Tell your boss.

R27 here. I got until about the middle of the 4th episode and bailed. It went downhill fast. Boring as fuck.

R35 = NF shill fattard.

I thought it was about Korean-American chomping on dog meat like their ancestors did.

So dreadfully dull and bafflingly bland.

It’s the #1 thing on Netflix.

Excellent writing. The all Asian thing is an interesting tease - you expect an Asian film and storyline and it turns out to be an All American/California story. Definitely busting stereotypes. I honestly never heard of Ali Wong - but have to give her major props. Great show.

Is it a bio-musical of Clara Peller?

Absolutely fantastic. Show of the year.

[quote]you expect an Asian film and storyline and it turns out to be an All American/California story

You also expect it'll be a story about white people being exploitative towards Asians, but -- aside from that rich white lady who fetishises anything Other -- it's just a story about various kinds of Asians being mean towards each other. I loved Amy's calculated "he hated that you were Japanese" line, she knew exactly what kind of effect that wold have on her husband.

[quote] I got until about the middle of the 4th episode and bailed. It went downhill fast. Boring as fuck.

Yeah, that's where I started to feel like it was dragging as well. And then the ending was so bad it made me retroactively hate the great first few eps.

More like "Beef Curtains."

r15 got there first.

Man, I hate it when primetime ends.

Beef is the worst title in the world.

I disagree, it's cheeky, it works.

Are there any homosexual characters?

Just bisexual women.

I’m loving it. Stellar acting by both the leads. Ali Wong and Stephen Yuen are brilliant.

Had no idea Ali Wong could act, but I see now she was doing some theatre work when at UCLA. There wasn't a single moment when I thought to myself "oof, no girl, that wasn't it." I think the show was so close to her personally, she poured all of her talent into it.

I'm also impressed with Young Mazino, can't believe I haven't heard of him before. He has the voice of a classic Hollywood movie star, I could listen to him talk forever.

Opening titles are great: I love the varying disturbing and fucked up art they highlight during the intro in every episode. Worth it to not “skip intro.” Reminds me of the White Lotus opening titles that decay, changing from serene to perverse during the intro.

Can't wait for the movie, which will be about a rapper struggling to survive in New York.

Two words: PANIC ROOM

I honestly hope they don't do more seasons. It's such a good self-contained story.

r61 I agree. However, I would also like to see more of Danny's brother and in particular more of their brotherly interactions. So I'm conflicted on this.

Noodles and Beef??

I am loving it.

R62 I'd rather see new work from this writer (and these actors) than drag this story out.

Blown away by this show.

Brilliant.

Have one episode left.

So much bad judgment displayed by the characters. How hard is it not to open your front door to strangers?

Because they're also Asian, they thought "oh, they can be trusted, I guess." They'd feel guilty for not opening the door.

I love Naomi as well - that actress was on Emily in Paris as well. She’s so beautiful.

Yeah, she was great. One of those charismatic secondary/tertiary characters -- like Greta Lee in Russian Doll -- where you immediately want to know more about them.

Wow just finished the last episode. Loved that so much.

Made it 15 minutes. Pass.

It really is a wonderful show. How great was Björk's All Is Full Of Love blasting over their joint culmination of rage in the penultimate episode? It worked on several levels because neither of them have been getting the love they've always wanted from either their parents or in their romantic life.

My favourite little moment in the show was Danny going "get off my jock" with such relish and a twinkle in his eyes, knowing full well just how much that cliche was going to annoy Amy. I chuckled even before he finished the sentence.

The season finale was beautifully done. I truly was blown away by it.

Give the man an Emmy!

r75 You can see in that scene just how starved for human connection he is. I've read comments from Koreans on Reddit, saying they've had similar experiences -- going from withholding families to a church service and suddenly there's all this warmth and love, and it just overwhelms you.

I’ve only watched two episodes and don’t think I will water the rest. I agree that the acting is very good and that several of the men are hot. But, the level of rage, depression, and BPD among the characters makes it unpleasant for me to watch.

I think as R67 mentions, it just feels so contrived. If the characters were better drawn I’d probably be more interested but it just feels like a wind up. Nothing about it is believable, not for one minute.

I found most of it believable, but I also enjoyed some of the heightened reality bits. It's entertainment, after all.

The characters are wonderfully complex. Love how Danny always went just to the edge of blowing up his relationship with his brother, only to choose brotherly love in the end.

Nope

Nice touches of verisimilitude throughout. For example, the Cho brothers and their cousin all had biblical names. Huge numbers of Koreans are Evangelical Christians, which they also brought out in the church/worship leader subplots. All of the supporting characters were interesting in their own right, even if they had minimal screen time. The mark of very good writing.

Sounds interesting. Where is it?

👆🏻Netflix

Steven Yeun singing Amazing Grace could bring me to the Lord. If SY promised to fuck me.

Just stayed up way too late finishing it. Loved it. Can't wait til you bitches catch up

Amy masturbating with a gun, and her in a motel face down ass up waiting to be fucked by a stranger is something I've never seen on TV before. Certainly not with a straight woman, and most definitely not with a model minority. So that was quite impactful.

r38 I had a similar realisation in the final episode, although in the opposite direction. All my life I've been preoccupied with how I can help others and humanity in general, but I've never once considered how my depression was causing absolute misery to the people closest to me. I'm not a natural disaster like Amy and Danny, but I'm up there. A light-bulb moment, for sure. Also, Danny's "why is this happening to me, why can't I do anything right, why is the whole world against me?" attitude is going to be super familiar to anyone with depression.

R59 With Reese Witherspoon, yes.

Also loved the mother in law - the scene of her lonely in the cafe when she left messages for friends and how she was wise to Amy’s bullshit early on but covered for her.

R53, do you know what “generally” means? If you don’t, it means that in a big group of people, many will not be adherents of the GENERAL rule. You seem like a brainless slave to archaic generalizations and stereotypes, dude.

Steven Yeun singing and guitaring Incubus’ ‘Drive’ is sheer brilliance

Young Mazino Has a sexy voice

Paul is very sexy. He had that hot urban Korean vibe. A hip hop Korean bro.

Episode 3 is phenomenal. The church scene is one of the most authentic and respectful portrayals of a modern evangelical church service I’ve ever seen.

I have to say that church music was pretty good? 😳

As a Christian, it’s finally an accurate and respectful portrayal of a modern evangelical church service. They even used a very popular current praise and worship song. It didn’t seem fake or mocking.

r89 No idea what you're on about, but -- unlike Danny and Amy -- you seem angry for no reason.

Some of the church moments feel beautifully authentic...like from someone who knows modern American Christianity well. Other movies and tv shows have failed at such scenes because they were obviously made by outsiders to evangelicalism

Ali Wong is amazing in this

The show features a very specific type of evangelical community for Koreans that is more on the hip side, it doesn't really comment on the evangelical church more broadly. And of course, as could be seen in The Gilmore Girls and just from living in South Korea, evangelicals in that community come in way nastier versions as well.

Ceterum censeo, Young Mazino should fuck me.

Yeah. Paul looked like a total dork. Until that fuck scene. Jesus.

The basketball scene is hot. I love watching athletic Asian dudes ball.

Buns

Is Steven really singing Chris Tomlin’s ‘Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gonna) in a church scene?

Whoa, Joseph Lee has a hot body too!

I sincerely hope there is not a season 2. This was perfect as it was. Netflix has this habit of taking something so good and then mass producing it and it is no longer entertaining. Orange is the New Black comes to mind. It was pretty ground breaking and fascinating for the first 2 seasons or so, then it went downhill rapidly.

The cast in Beef is great! I didn't much care for cousin Isaac and first then I really liked his character. Paul annoyed me at first, but then as we see him in more scenes I thought he was very cute (and super hot). Same with George, I thought he was annoying but then he grew on me.

I could totally watch new season of these same characters. Have the bitchy bi neighbor trying to destroy everyone while grasping for those billions.

I'll only watch this if Michelle Yeogh and Jamie Lee Curtis are in it. Actually, that's really why I'm afraid to watch it - they may show up in this out of nowhere.

R75 That was an incredible scene, never quite seen anything like it. The handling of the Korean/Asian attachment to evangelical SUV-church christianity was so skillfully done, and while being as cynical and realistic as you'd expect, weren't completely bashing the care and emotional support received by such religious attachments. I was crying with him, really feeling his hunger for "the Lord's" unconditional love. Thank you Jeebus!!

It was a great, great show, unexpected, great intersectional capture of LA and its communities and classes.

I never liked Ali Wong as a comedian - I always found her arch, wooden, too scripted to be funny. But I was blown away by her in this series. Who knew she could act?

The scene that really broke me (MARY!!) was when they flashed back to very young Danny crying and getting bullied at school and then earnestly asking to hang out with baby Paul all day instead. Something about seeing that little boy trying to convince his parents that 2 year old Paul really liked it when he was home was so heartbreaking. And it was perfectly timed in the season.

Also liked the scene of young Amy overhearing the parents arguing but something about seeing the two boys as little kids was very touching.

Definitely original.

Those that posted negative last about this show are clearly uneducated and generally watch something from Marvel or Real Housewives when they aren’t playing video games. No sense trying to convince those with lesser capacities.

Episode 9 is mind-blowing

I lost interest towards the end and barely watched the final episode. It was fun for a while but I don't think it needed to be 10 episodes long. Probably a financial decision and not a creative one.

I loved the rich white lady's house (those rotating doors!). And, then, on theme, the release of rage of the sychophant sister-in-law with the panic room door.

I was curious about this show, after hearing the male lead on Marc Maron's podcast, but this thread is all over the place.

I think I might like it, but I am also afraid it will be like so many other things I have started and not finished. So many recent things are as R113 says: they don't need to be a series.

R115 see it for yourself, you total pussy

excuse me? That was so rude.

I kept avoiding watching this show. It was constantly being featured on the Netflix home page, and I would ignore it, because it just seemed stupid.

THEN, I stumbled on this thread (in its early stages) and gave it a shot: then loved it.

Very often, you bitches on the DL get it sooo right!

Thank you.

r12 Netflix ix is hardly a dumping ground. They are spending hundreds of millions on new content.

I had a sex dream about Paul last night and was disappointed when I woke up

I binged the whole thing and got my husband to watch it and it's even better the second time around less than a week later

Best show of 2023. Yellowjackets is #2.

I just started watching it and I'm truly enjoying it. Before that, I read an interview with the creator of the show who said that, originally, Danny and his family were intended to be white but they realized that, if they go ahead with it, people would focus on issues of race instead of class, so they decided to go with an all-Asian cast.

R123 and they were able to cast an Oscar-winning best actor to deliver a tour-de-force performance...

Only 3 episodes in but love everything about Beef. I agree whoever said that Steven Yuen deserves an award for the church scene alone. I said the same thing to my husband as we were watching. The progressive emotions he showed in that scene were mesmerizing. I felt every moment of it. To me that qualifies great actor status.

They should have cast Michele Yeogh in the Steven Yuen role.

what would season 2 look like?

You could have Danny and Amy teaming up against George and Fumi to get custody of the kid and Isaac getting revenge on everyone and the fiance doing the doing the same

Seasons 2 and 3 should have new strorylines and actors

Turns out that the actor David Choe is a rapist piece of shit. How big is his role in this show?

Link r130. I only know of him as the guy who did a mural for Facebook and instead of cash, chose $60,000 in stock and got 200 million dollars out of it

R131 here

Enh, dumb straight guy makes a dumb "joke" about rape and laughs about it.

That clip starts after whatever he actually said. Selective editing.

R133 Sure, a "joke"

No I don’t watch that kind of shit.

I really liked it until the last two episodes and then it went off the tracks. They should call a do over.

Beef curtains!

Is it like a fictional Feud?

Love it! The 9th episode was the best. I heard it's doing just ok-not-great numbers for Netflix so it probably has 50-50 chance for renewal. Tbh, one season is good enough for me. It neatly wrapped up all the storylines without any loose-ends or a cliffhanger. But I certainly wouldn't mind a 2nd season. More work for asians in Hollywood.

They already announced seasons two and three

Not quite, but it looks likely

Beef actor hides his rape admission behind 𝑐𝑜𝑝𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑙𝑎𝑤

I just finished it and loved it. I thought the ending was perfect. I definitely think they can/should do another season.

The last episode made me cry. Doesnt need another season.

Suffered through all10 episodes and finished it today. Who else knew the ending by watching the first twenty minutes of the first episode other than myself ?

R146, why did you watch 10 episodes of a show you didn’t like? Don’t you have other things to do?

I want to run r146 off the side of the road.

R146 watched it because it's a pretty good show and he got caught in it but won't admit it.

After having Michelle Yeoh shoved down my throat for the passed several years, and especially the last couple months, I've sufficient Asians.

^had sufficient

Fucking keyboard and "ghost fingers"!

Personally, I've had sufficient the cliche "had sufficient."

[quote] After having Michelle Yeoh shoved down my throat for the passed several years

Oh, dear.

I'm enjoying this dark comedy. Just read this morning about the controversy concerning David Choe. He's good in the series, but what a prick. He is a rapist.

Joseph Lee who plays George is gorgeous, but his character is such an idiot. I wish Ali Wong (Amy) would rip him a new one.

R147 Because everyone I know who watched it told me to stick with it until the end. I was going to give up after the fourth episode, I was so damn bored. Yet everyone said, "You have to stick with it - the last episode is so special!"

So I did. And now I regret it. Should've ended it with Ep 4.

When people come on to a thread to bash a show they hate, I’m always curious to know what shows they DO like?

Nothing wrong about not liking a show, r155, but what shows DO you like? Again, just curious.

They are already working on a version with all-LGBT actors, called Queef

It's okay but nothing special -- might have been reallg good if it had been 6 episodes instead of ten.

And spoiler alert:

You knew the whole time that they were going to fall in love. What else could have happened.

And for those who wonder what shows those of us who didn't like this might enjoy -- Rectify is amazing. So is The Great. Shrinking is fun. There are plenty of better shows out there.

I love Rectify and The Great. I also enjoyed Beef.

R158 Um, I don't think they have fallen in love. Just bonded.

I don't think that the rapist guy was acting, he was just being douche-bag himself. If you watch the interviews with him, you will see he is the same person in real life. A total knuckle-dragger

I didn’t think the scene in episode 9 with the panic room was necessary. That was sick. She didn’t deserve that.

Few things I hated about the show.

How did the husband not know that Danny is a scammer? He tells him about some bad plumbing in the bathroom and the next thing, two guys, that he figured out were scammers, show up at his door, telling him about how his house has bad plumbing and he should let him in. That was just stupid.

The second stupid part that stick out was how Danny didn't realize that Amy was the person his brother was seeing, sooner. More precise, when he stole his brother's phone to jerk off to the photo of his gf, the phone starts ringing with That Bitch or some similar name saved on the phone, with her face..and then he picks up and it's Amy. Yet, they totally brushed that off afterwards, like that didn't just happen.

Some other things that kinda annoyed me were how that billionaire (lesbian) didn't have a security guard. Especially since she and her wife were living in the middle of nowhere. And how did Amy see so well without her glasses. Even in the nighttime.

*them in ^^

He didn't steal the phone. He texted the pic to himself.

^ That makes sense. Thank you.

Well R156, I only made it through one episode of Beef but I really liked Swarm and am enjoying Dead Ringers on Amazon Prime this weekend.

I watched S1 of Yellowjackets, which was fine (I thought they were going to wrap that up in one season, though) but don't feel like I need to watch anymore of that. I don't watch Succession. I tend to prefer a movie or a limited series.

Anyway, since you asked....

Yeah, S2 of Yellowjackets is...currently running. That's about ALL I got to say about THAT.

R167, I’m also enjoying Dead Ringers! I looked for a thread, but didn’t see one. Rachel Weisz is phenomenal.

The main characters are incredibly awful people.

Danny and Amy are as unredeemable as Walter White.

Would cops really enter the house with multiple hostages with their machine guns blazing? That seemed totally unrealistic. Didn't even try talking to the bad guys via megaphone. And they were shooting for like 5 minutes straight and only shot one guy? What were they shooting at?

The husband was the most gullible pushover neutered softie ever.

R173 Until he wasn't.... bang bang bang!!

Steven Yeun has been working out ;)

Do they ever show him shirtless? I'm on E5.

the last episode was the worst of the series

I thought this was a great show. I hope they don’t do any more though…it ended perfectly and I’d really hate if they ruined it by making more seasons.

I apologize for not reading all the posts. I loved this series and hope there will NOT be a season 2. The ending was perfect and don't want to know anything else about these people. The series as it exists is perfect.

R179. Agreed. UNLESS they use different characters.

R32, I disagree. Japanese men are way hotter.

The Japanese husband that wore cardigans all the time, is in real life Korean American

I didn’t realize how hot Paul was until he was in the pool. Damn! What a body. And he has a great voice. I’d love to see more of him ;)

His voice is so nice and deep, it makes my buss twitch even before we get to the amazing face and bod.

R183 That guy was so ugly and annoying to me. No way would that accomplished lady fall for him.

Maybe not a regular woman, but Amy was a mess. Fucking Paul was better than masturbating with a gun. Until he wanted some money.

Clock the basic bitch calling Paul ugly.

Dude's hideous. And his character was a mouth breather.

The thirsty comments from men and women about Paul on the internet say otherwise.

Paul is sexy. If you can't see it you're blind or a gold star lesbian

No, I'm a straight guy. Dude was hideous. And dumb as a rock. His brother was a lot better looking, but short. Their cousin looked like a douchebag rapist. Which he actually is in real life. The best looking guy was the husband, but his character was a vanilla flavored neutered meek pushover.

[quote]No, I'm a straight guy.

Well, that explains it then. Young Mazino is the beauty, the essence, and he IS the moment. Trust us homos on this one, dear.

And yes, he is goofy and dumb, but also strangely insightful at times and possibly the most decent person on the show, along with the hot husband. It's that complexity that makes me love this show – and Paul – so much.

Straight guys aren't good at judging which guys are truly hot and sexy.

R193 Yet, every other thread on DL is about gay men discussing which woman is hot and which isn't. Hilarious.

Paul was originally presented as very stupid but then we learn that his brother sabotaged his educational choices and that he did make some great investments. Paul was not the stupid douche presented in the first episodes. He proved to be a douche with Amy but his brother definitely envied his brains.

R194 Nah, you're confusing "Hot" with being photogenic.

R195 Dude, Paul IS a dudebro. It has NOTHING to do with intelligence.

R196 Nah, I don't

At the end of the day, all I know is I want Paul's beef in my mouf.

Show's composer is a piece of beef, too.

Moral of Beef: road rage a random person in public, stalk them, and your life will be so much more interesting and things will work out.

I hate those hexagon glasses.

R201 I love those glasses! I bought a pair of tortoise shell hexagons a few months ago and never saw them on anyone except ME and, now, Amy. Please don't tell me they're some kind of trendy thing, I thought they were so individual.

They are trending

Fuck.

Do you have any other fashion tips for us, you seem to be ahead of the curve on these things.

Don't get those glasses

R205 / R206 Now I feel like a fucking sheep. I loved my frames until I read this crappy thread.

On second thought, keep your fashion tips to yourself, you seem kinda up your own ass and I don't want to exude that same vibe as I'm going about my day.

R207 oh you're fine. You look great in your stop sign glasses darling! I'm the old fogie who didn't get John Lennon hippie glasses.

R208 good on ya

Excellent show. One of the most meaningful I’ve watched in a while. The critique of the American dream - and the spoiled, unethical behavior of the rich - is what today is all about. The rotting core of the American “dream”

R211 perfectly summarized.

[quote]Young Mazino Has a sexy voice

His father is Old Mazino.

This hasn't been renewed yet. Should be around this time that Netflix should annouce renewal or not. I just heard the creator said that the story came to its conclusion. Quite different when he initially said he's planning 3 seasons of it. Seems he's changed his tune now.

Creator originally said it was a limited series, then changed his mind and said it could be three seasons when the show blew up. I, too, wonder what made him now revert to the original position.

I kind of like how it ended. The pattern of Netflix shows seems to be first season a big HIT; then subsequent seasons the show just become boring and unwatchable e.g. Orange is the New Black, House of Cards etc.

I say, go out on a high note.

Surprised Netflix came up with a good show. Knowing Netflix, they are going to milk this thing dry

The ending was great and If there is a second season, I hope it's with a different set of characters. I don't need to know anything else about the original group.

R215 success and money

^^You are so right. And the story will be stretched to the limit and fold after the second season.

I loved it until episode nine. Just too far fetched and ridiculous. I would have accepted a lot. The show has plenty moments of "say what" moments but they we all couched in reality. So I bought those moments and just went with them. But that was just too much.

I do think it's cool they went for it. But it didn't work at all for me.

They could have toned it all down to a more believable crescendo and still had Danny and Amy stuck together in the middle of nowhere, forced to reckon with each other mano y mano.

Is this show like Falling Down for the millennial generation?

No, the rage here is just a plot device to tell a deeper story about depression and an inability to deal with it properly.

I found it very bingeworthy.

I loved Ali Wong in this!

Beef 2: By the Pound

Beef 2; A New Bone to Pick

Beef, the Meaty Musical

Thanks DLers.
