Beef is probably the best new show on Netflix in years

It’s a dark comedy miniseries with two main characters on opposite ends of a feud with each other over a road rage incident that neither can let go. So, it keeps flipping protagonist and antagonist, depending on whose scene it is.
Ali Wong - who I know from Paper Girls, stars as Amy Lau, a middle class Californian Karen-type with a rage disorder… and what appears to be a sexual attraction to guns. She sees this feud as a form of therapy. She’s quite wealthy, married to a trust fund kid, and runs a business she is on the verge of selling for 10 million dollars. Amy is seen as a great and caring person in her community, but others know the true her beneath (I think she’s a narcissist).
Steven Yeun - best known for his role as Glen in The Walking Dead, plays a struggling contractor who has terrible instincts when it comes to money. He is quickly losing faith in society and following society’s rules.
Another actor I recognize is Ashley Park - who I saw in the raunchy comedy Joy Ride (which is a fantastic film). She plays Naomi, an acquaintance of Amy. She becomes nosy after Amy dismisses her a few times, and stumbles upon Amy’s dark secret life.
