Beef season 2: kinda annoying?
Im just at episode 4 so hoping this gets better in the succeeding episodes, but Season 2 till now is nowhere near Season 1. The characters aren’t inspiring any strong feelings like Danny and Amy did, like their whole will they wont they vibe and their backgrounds being shown which also kinda allowed a better insight into the sort of “lesson” the story had. Made the characters more human and if not likeable at least realistic?
All I’m getting rn is a serious lack of character development, especially in the female characters who are shown to be strong in some moments but those moments arent carried to fruition. And the male ones feel just as annoying too particularly Austin with the unnecessary innocent play. But as compared to the female counterparts, the male characters somehow appear to be having some side storyline which makes me think the female characters are being portrayed as mere accessories and not as strong characters in their own rights. Even Chairwoman Park felt like a desperate woman in the scene where she asks her husband whether he loves her. Dont know if this is intentional but it’s still not bold enough to make a point. Just very lackluster.
Honestly though imo Season 2 is living only on the hype of the first season. Like my favorite parts are actually Josh and Lindsay’s fights lol, so I dont know what that says about the overall show.
