The first-look images have the palette of an intensely dramatic series. However, they do not really divulge much of the story. From the solo image of Steven Yeun from episode 106, we can assume both his character, Danny Cho, likely stays up late because of the feud. Ali Wong’s character, Amy Lau, has a gun in the first episode, so the situation is guaranteed to escalate. But not much else to decipher from the images. Other than Ali Wong’s Amy Lau has impeccable tastes in art, decor, and fashion. Look at that wool hat!
Sadly that’s all that has been provided about Beef. While I am personally cautiously curious about two Asians getting into a feud that brings one character to feel the need for a gun over a car accident, I am 100% bought in and excited for the series. Ali Wong and Steven Yeun are great performers and A24 has been home to numerous hits. The series really has everything going for it and we can’t wait to find out everything we can about it.
Beef premieres on April 6, 2023, exclusively on Netflix.
