In retrospect, it was perhaps only a matter of time that Danny (Steven Yeun) and Amy (Ali Wong)’s escalating feud would lead to life-and-death stakes. The final two episodes of Netflix’s Beef open with Isaac (David Choe) freshly sprung from prison — thanks to a tip from Amy that Danny was actually the one involved in the road-rage incident — and pissed. He makes a beeline for Danny’s place, accompanied by henchmen Michael (Andrew Santino) and Bobby (Rekstizzy), looking for both money and revenge. What he finds is an opportunity: Danny has accidentally kidnapped Amy’s cheerfully curious daughter, June (Remy Holt), so Isaac decides to call Amy in exchange for a $500,000 ransom. Unable to come up with that much cash by Isaac’s deadline, Amy offers a counter-proposal: She’s at Jordan (Maria Bello)’s estate, full of...

This article contains spoilers for Beef.
Beef. It’s what’s for dinner. It’s also what’s on Netflix right now. The streamer’s latest series is a 10-episode A24-produced drama about a petty feud that completely consumes the lives of two otherwise average American schmoes.
In the show’s first episode, Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) and Amy Lau (Ali Wong)’s respective cars nearly collide in a parking lot. Car horns and middle fingers are subsequently exchanged and suddenly Danny and Amy are engaged in a years-long “beef” that ultimately destroys their lives and the lives of everyone around them.
This show, created by Lee Sung Jin (who is next set to write Marvel’s Thunderbolts), is both a creative screwball comedy and a careful meditation on the human capacity for self destruction. With that in mind, Beef has quite a harrowing tight rope to maneuver through in its final two episodes.

If you’ve ever been in a crowded parking lot, you’ll surely recognize the inciting incident in Netflix’s Beef: A truck nearly backs into an SUV, which honks extravagantly before speeding off. Maybe you’ll even relate to the impulse to do what the cars do next, even if you’ve never done it yourself: The truck chases the SUV down with the reckless abandon of a Fast & Furious racer, skidding into oncoming traffic and barreling over suburban lawns.
But Amy (Ali Wong) and Danny (Steven Yeun), the dueling leads of Beef, take things further still. The encounter precipitates an endless cycle of revenge, during which they deface each other’s property, sabotage each other’s careers, undermine each other’s families. It’s a hilarious premise on its face, and the half-hours fly by as wild twists twists pile up. What’s less expected, however...

Exclusive: Beef, the A24 dramedy series starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, has rounded out its cast with the likes of David Choe and Patti Yasutake as well as guest stars including Mario Bello and Ashley Park.
Netflix beat out its competition last March to land the Lee Sung Jin-created series, which features 10 half-hour episodes.
It stars Yeun, in his first TV role since The Walking Dead, and stand-up comedian Wong as two people who let a road rage incident burrow into their minds and slowly consume their every thought and action.
Choe, an artist who famously took payment for painting a mural at the Facebook offices in stock rather than cash, stars as a series regular alongside Prodigal Son’s Young Mazino, Searching’s Joseph Lee and Yasutake, who played nurse Alyssa Ogawa in the Star Trek franchise.
Mazino plays Paul, Lee is George, Choe is Isaac and Yasutake is Fumi.
