The newest drama series on Netflix, “Beef,” is attracting attention for its realistic depiction of road fury in a near-future society. Critics laud the show’s ability to capture the substance of the year 2023 and the escalating tensions that have come to define our daily lives.

“Beef” stars Emmy-winner Sterling K. Brown and rising sensation Emma Corrin as two drivers who become entangled in a dangerous game of one-upmanship on the roads. As their rivalry intensifies, they must confront their own defects and the societal pressures that fuel their anger.

The show has been lauded for its nuanced depiction of the characters, who are not one-dimensional villains but rather multidimensional individuals attempting to navigate a world where tension and frustration are the norm. Critics have praised Brown’s performance in particular, noting his ability to convey both vulnerability and menace in equal measure.
