Making BEEF an anthology series was such a great choice… the first season was too good to let this concept die with a miniseries.

bmw071478 Apr 2, 2026 +109

Agreed. First season had a solid ending. Would’ve been a shame to ruin that

MudReasonable8185 Apr 2, 2026 +18

Wasn’t the ending “two people go from mortal enemies to bffs after getting high together”?

What better end could any conflict have

Ancient-Dust3077 Apr 2, 2026 +58

i still was hoping the asian culture would continue

LarBrd33 Apr 3, 2026 +3

That seemed to be a big part of the draw for it. There was a lot of press around the representation without stereotypes and so much of the content I saw around it was how great it was to see asians in something that wasn't explicitly asian. I'll be interested to see if the same audience transfers over. I mean, part of the praise was that it just so happened to have asian cast members playing roles that didn't need to be asian, so it's not like doing a sequel to "Crazy Rich Asians" with white people, but at the same time it felt like that was a huge part of the push around the show. That show also went through the weird cycle of "this is a masterpiece" to "people are just saying it's a masterpiece, because of representation it actually is insanely overrated" to "actually so many people are saying this is overrated that it's actually insanely underrated" all of which in a roundabout way promoted the show.

eldenpotato Apr 3, 2026 +2

Same. Disappointing

KTOWNTHROWAWAY9001 Apr 3, 2026 +8

I'm on the opposite on that. I really liked the Yeun and Wong dynamic. Their story felt like it had more juice to it. Right now this one is giving me White Lotus setting and character vibes. And really, for an anthology like this it's best case scenario it turns out like that, worst case, True Detective. I'm leaning White Lotus veneer on True Detective outcome. But we'll see.

KSouphanousinphone Apr 2, 2026 +20

Yes, Ali Wong was a wonder on that series.

20

SvenHudson Apr 2, 2026 +3

She could just stand alone in a room doing nothing in this show and watching that brought back the trauma of that kind of person being in my life.

I wish Walking Dead became this at some point, an anthology.

pastypatissiere Apr 2, 2026 -69

I disagree. Season 1 is a perfectly encapsulated twin flame story that cannot be repeated. It's the ultimate Beef, whereas this looks like just another Netflix couples crime drama.

-69

notches123 Apr 2, 2026 +34

Might want to actually watch it or even let others watch it before deciding what it is about

34

pastypatissiere Apr 2, 2026 -62

You could say the same thing about anyone giving a positive opinion of this trailer. Most Beef fans don't want a second season, and the concept cannot be repeated so whatever this second season is is going to be far less meaningful and impactful.

-62

notches123 Apr 2, 2026 +24

>Most Beef fans don't want a second season Citation needed.

Believable_Bullshit Apr 2, 2026 -8

🙋🏻‍♂️the first season was perfect. I know that any subsequent season will not come close to being as good. The bar is too high. I’ll watch it, but I don’t have the highest expectations because I’m prepared for disappointment

-8

roboxsteven Apr 2, 2026 -8

I do agree the first season was so good and it was a really cool new thing for everyone. Every new season is going to be lacking to the first. I will still check it out, but not knowing it would become an anthology later makes it kind of disappointing.

-8

notches123 Apr 2, 2026 +4

Fargo's first season was considered a masterpiece but many people among the fanbase agree that season 2 is the superior season and many(myself included) think it's the best season of TV ever. It's not impossible that season 2 could be better or just as good. I just think it's ridiculous to write off the possibility sight unseen.

4

roboxsteven Apr 2, 2026 -7

My main point is that nobody knew it was going to be an anthology. You will have a lot of fans turned off to it because we dont get to see the characters we already connected with. If we knew it was going to be an anthology from the start it would be different. Just my opinion. Also Netflix does not have a good track record for anthology’s.

That’s your opinion. I disagree. I have never found that knowing things about a movie/show has ever ruined it for me. If anything it enhances my enjoyment because the joy of the story for me isn’t always just *what* happens, but *how* it happens.

They also have now "voice boost" that was for some reason turned on by default for me. Made movie trailers sound like c*** to me, I thought studios uploaded badly mixed videos until I saw it was on.

I really liked the Asian American aspects of the first season, felt like seeing a world I’m not very familiar with in a new light. How unfortunate

24

thizzking7 Apr 2, 2026 +13

Yeah, surprised this is so low. For me, I thought a big part of Beef was that it was an Asian American show.

Feels like a very different tone from the first one?

11

PmMeYourNiceBehind Apr 2, 2026 +14

Agreed, much more dramatic I’m also curious about what the beef is? That the younger couple recorded the other couple in a heated fight?

14

PrestigeArrival Apr 2, 2026 +3

Yeah, I’m getting the vibes that it will be couple vs couple. Maybe their escalating feud will heal something in their broken relationship…..Or everyone ends up dead.

WingnutIsTaken Apr 2, 2026 +6

Not watching the trailer - i NEED to go into this blind. I went into season 1 completely blind and it rocked my world

Honestly should have renamed it. Looks nothing like what BEEF started.

14

format32 Apr 2, 2026 +15

Yeah this just looks soap opera. No humor like the first one. Lots of people seem to love the trailer based of the comments here but to me, it doesn’t have the vibe that the first season had. Not even close.

15

SandyWaters Apr 3, 2026 +1

I was starting to think I'm the only one that isn't really excited for it. The other seemed much more ridiculously possible. Season 2 just seems like the usual drama of a couple that hates each other and jealousy at a couple that seems really in love, but didn't really see anything so ridiculous that it's funny. I might give it a shot but have very low low standards so I'm not sure I'll get to it.
