Finished it yesterday and it pales in comparison to S1.

A real shame as it was pretty solid until the trip to Korea, everything there and beyond really was a travesty.

You can't get the audience invested in it and then slap them in the face with illogical character arc decisions.

Josh - Best arc in the end for me.

Lindsay - In a marriage, doubt it's a happy one.

Austin - Trapped himself elegantly

Ashley - Got off lightly

Chairwoman Park — Offs her Stepson Woosh brutally yet ends up just a soft and thoughtful old lady who occasionally dips into crime.

Dr. Kim — Can only assume they forgot how they wrote him and decided to start again randomly.

Eunice - Don't even ask. They ran out of pencils to write any material for the end?

When I watched it for the first time, it definitely felt lacking and left me wanting more, especially compared with season 1. however, it was still a very enjoyable ride.

Having rewatched both seasons again back to back without rose tinted glasses, I was able to spot more of season 1' shortcomings and they made season 2's shortcomings an easier pill to swallow.

There is still a gap in quality no doubt about it, but it is not proportional to the hate it has received. It was great Television, it was worthy of the title, and a large chunk of the hate is exaggerated and a result of it not being Season 1.

as the title says. yes the location is similar but that’s about it, the story line and vibes are so different, Beef didn’t even cross my mind once after the first episode.

They start out sympathetic, then quickly become less sympathetic. And then over time, the dawning realization that they’re deeply unhinged. And then the final reveal that they’re the actual bad guy.

For the record, I think Lindsay was the most sympathetic character. She would have been fine with Josh quitting his job and selling the house. She just wanted to be happy again.

And I feel bad for Eunice, but only to a point. She knew exactly who she was working for.

I heard great things about Beef, so I thought I would give it a try. Netflix tried starting me on Season 2, so I clicked back to start on Season 1.

well I guess I only clicked back one episode, because i just watched the season finale of season 1 😩

I was obviously confused the whole time, but I literally just thought it was just one of those pilots that starts out with a big event and you have to put the pieces together.

well anyway - all I know about this show is that Season 1 ends with Ali Wong and Glen from the Walking Dead resolving some feud.

i have a feeling that i spoiled the entire thing - but thought I would come here to see if people would recommend watching it anyway.

thanks all 😁
