Rachel Seo Warning: This story contains mild spoilers for “Beef,” available to watch on Netflix now. Lee Sung Jin, the creator and showrunner of Netflix’s “Beef,” first worked with Steven Yeun and Ali Wong on the animated series “Tuca & Bertie.” But their latest collaboration sees the three reunite to craft a Netflix show along an A24 sensibility. “Beef,” which dropped on the streaming service on Apr. 6, traces the intersecting lives of Yeun’s Danny and Wong’s Amy after the two engage in a vitriolic road rage incident that sets both on a collision course to chaos. “Amy and Danny may differ in gender, class and career path, but they share a self-destructive nihilism that each seems to recognize in the other, even if they can’t articulate it,” writes Variety TV critic Alison Herman.
Rounding out the main cast are Young Mazino, who plays Danny’s younger brother Paul, and Joseph Lee, who takes on the role of George, Amy’s husband. Ashley Park, Justin H. Min, Patti Yasutake, Mia Serafino and David Choe also star. Recently announced as a writer on Marvel’s upcoming “Thunderbolts” — which sees him reuniting with Yeun, director Jake Schreier, production designer Grace Yun and editor Harry Yoon, all of whom worked on “Beef” — Lee sat down with Variety to discuss the nuances of the characters’ dynamics in his critically acclaimed show, the nostalgia he embedded in the Korean church scenes and why he conceives of himself as a character-first writer. This show is a study in contrasts. Despite their differences, why do you think Amy and Danny are still so drawn to each other in a way that they can’t even articulate to themselves? Both of them assume incorrectly that they cannot show their true selves to anyone in their lives. Maybe

prime-needle-drop dramedy about two Los Angelenos (Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, surefire contenders for acting awards this season) who escalate into wild antics directed at each other’s livelihoods after exchanging profane tirades and gestures in a parking lot, has been a talking point in pop culture circles since premiering on Netflix on April 6. Critics and audiences alike have been praising the two leads’ outstanding performances, the energetic narrative courtesy of showrunner Lee Sung Jin (a former “Silicon Valley” scribe and producer), and the vibrant representation of Asian-American families.This move, however, does not mean that “Beef” cannot return in some capacity, as many have whispered it could go the route of HBO’s “The White Lotus” and eventually change its status to a drama series.

BreAnna Bell In its third week of availability, “The Night Agent” has moved up yet again, joining Netflix’s Most Popular list at No. 9 with 515.57 million hours viewed. According to Netflix’s math, this means the thriller has raked in 62 million views — Netflix calculates total views by dividing the total hours viewed by runtime, which is 8.19 hours. During the April 3-9 viewing window, the series pulled in 130.48 million hours viewed and remained No. 1 on the English TV List. Ali Wong and Steven Yeun’s “Beef” was a newcomer on this week’s top 10 list, coming in at No. 3 with 34.08 million hours viewed.

Beef, the new A24 series that's currently the , Ali Wong gives a stunning performance as Amy Lau, a seemingly put-together entrepreneur whose aesthetic lifestyle is the stuff of Pinterest fantasies. That is, until a case of road rage threatens to derail her picture-perfect American dream. In Wong's March 1 , reporter Rebecca Sun writes that Beef creator Lee Sung Jin had initially pictured a different version of the story based on his own real-life experience—one in which Steven Yeun's Danny Cho faced off not with a #GirlBoss but with a white guy. Specifically, “a Stanley Tucci type.” What Lee meant by “” is unexplained in the article, but such is the power of the 62-year-old actor's brand that I can see him now: He is a quiet older gentleman living in Amy's posh Calabasas home, one he built after selling the filming rights to his wildly popular though artistically unfulfilling YA book series.

Rachel Seo “What the fuck is happening?” That was Steven Yeun’s reaction while shooting the cataclysmic climax of “Beef,” which he leads with Ali Wong. The Netflix and A24 dramedy opens plausibly enough with a road-rage scene between Wong’s Amy, an entrepreneur whose easygoing nature masks secret desires, and Yeun’s Danny, a contractor who goes to extremes to obtain what he wants. But that initial conflict drives both to exact bizarre acts of revenge on each other, revealing the darkest corners of their psyches. The result? Chaos. In one scene, Amy masturbates with a gun; in another, Danny urinates all over her bathroom — and that’s just the beginning. Seeded throughout are quiet explorations of the characters’ anger, loneliness and fear.
