As someone who has suffered with chronic depression for most of my life, I have never been seen as much as by this series. Thankyou for making me feel less alone in the world.
I saw this entire show in one sitting, and this is coming from someone who DOES NOT BINGE. It was so addictive and well done. I gotta say, the hospital bed scene was one that really stuck with me and finding out that Ali was the one who came up with it, damn!, just makes it that much better and memorable.
The choice to use Mayonaise by the Smashing Pumpkins for that ending scene was probably the most perfect song choice I've ever experienced in a show or film. All throughout the season too just perfect song choices. Nostalgic, grungy and mournful early 90's/2000's alt rock. Made me long for the feeling of growing up in that era. I'm a 30 year old man and TV shows don't make me cry, but this one did.
I hope this is the first of many shows made in collaboration by A24 and Netflix! We need more amazing shows like this and I'm glad this is getting all the attention. ❤
I think this series does a great job at showing how depression doesnt just mean you sit in a dark room alone all day, it can show itself in various ways even when you want to deny its existence.
well put! how i see it is its how depression can lead to a desperation to escape and be seen and heard by people but then you want those people to respond and help in a way that is not good for you but its how you want to be heard.
I really thought this was a simple light comedy, but oh boy I was in for an emotional rollercoaster. I couldnt stop watching. Those last 2 episodes absolutely destroyed me. Also its so awesome to see a wide and profound range of characters played majority by asians, while being an american production. As an asian myself, I really apreciate the representation, while not reproducing boring stereotypes.
My best friend is Asian and I could relate to many things we shared together in our friendship and this just made me respect her even more and understand all her struggles. I’m totally obsessed with this show.
As a black woman, I 100% agree. It was amazing to see representation, yes. But it was the character development and the story that made it one of my favorite shows of the year. Can Hollywood please do this more and not identity politics? So freaking good!
@@Saundraaaaso what if some people don’t get it! The vast majority of shows available are skating on the surface, and part of the perpetuation of the collective delusions. I love the depth of the show. If you think it’s too deep…maybe that’s a sign you’re too shallow?
The snowball effect of their decisions, micro and major, made me feel so many things (disappointment, disgust, pity, sadness, perplexity, and some were so wtf that they made laugh hard). This show took me places and there’s wisdom in reflecting on choices and having better judgment to let go. Although, them never letting go was an absolute blast. Here’s to Season 2 and perhaps an entertaining road to closure! 🍻
It was so hard to not binge this all in one go. The characters had parts of them that you could relate with, and then some parts that made you go, "Please don't do that, please have better judgement." But I think that makes them all the more human. There were some reckless decisions but you could empathize and understand at least the source of all their chaotic thinking and wild behavior. Ali Wong impressed me with her acting chops and Steven Yeun definitely did not disappoint as usual. The church scenes were way too real. Also just catched this, but love seeing Ali's character slam the empty paper towel roll. Been there. Angry-ed that, too. Mood.
This show made me feel like I had been in therapy. The the cathartic release I got from just watching was so unexpected. I love all these actors and to have them be part of a show that takes a subject in such a unique way was amazing to see. I love it!
Probably the best show we have watched in the last 5 years. Amazing story, suspense, acting, cinematography, etc. when Danny hand came up in that last seen my heart honestly flipped. Perfect ending perfect series
this show made me feel exactly how Everything Everywhere all at Once made me feel but I think I cried a bit more with Beef. I saw someone’s comment saying it was cathartic and it truly was. The characters put up a mirror in front of me and their deepest fears were very real. The scene where they hallucinate will be one of my favorite scenes ever. Most beautiful art piece I’ve seen in a while.
I hate to say it because I loved this show so much and the characters but it finished perfectly. I fear a second season would not hold up. It doesn’t need it, other than to fulfill our desire to have a second season, from a character stand point and evolution, one season nailed it. Tied a bow on it at the end perfectly. Great show, great acting, great script, best on tv in a very long time. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
I know I don’t even want a season 2 cause it was so perfect and I felt like it was an entire story beginning to end. Maybe if they did a similar type of emotion driven story with different or even related characters?
I completely agree! It had such a beautiful arc, and I felt perfect amount of resolution. There wasn’t a neat bow on everything by any means, but a bow doesn’t belong on a show like this. It was extremely intentional and while I’m invested in Amy and Danny’s journeys, I think the story that needed to be told was told perfectly.
this is such a DEEP show with so many relevant themes and relatable characters - road rage is just the introduction! Ali Wong and STEVEN YUEN! My goodness! Sunny Lee's screenplay is so layered. I hope the show racks up lots of views and award recognition!
This show was a masterpiece. The comic relief was golden. The plot was brilliant. Pulled at the heartstrings… very impressed. Easily one of my favorite shows ever now. Wonderful job to Ali and Steven 👏
This was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Echoing what other people have already said, it made me feel a wide range of emotions that I normally don't tap into. Watching the characters spiral out of control and repeat the same mistakes made me think about my life and how I'd made stupid mistakes. It also made me grateful for what I have and helped me let go of some of the negative feels I had. I'm really glad that the final episode brought the two main characters together because honestly they were the best part of the show. I rewatched the scene in the hospital bed several times because that subtle hand movement was so significant that I had to make sure I didn't imagine it.
I'm watching one episode a day because of how intense various scenes are in each episode. Steven Yeun's acting is on a level I can't even describe with words.
As a jaded cynic living with depression for the last 20 years this show gave me so much hope. Not that things or life will become happier, but that I will find someone who can truly understand me.
No hyperbole, this is one of the very best shows I've ever seen. It really touched a chord within. I was so impressed with the acting and the writing. Top shelf stuff.
These two characters are soul mates. And i like to believe that they found their own way to figure out how to be together in life. It’s tragic the way things turned out and that maybe had they talked things out maybe the consequences could’ve been different. But my interpretation is they are together in the end
I just finished all ten eps in one sitting, which is rare for me. But I was compelled to see how it all played out in one continuous sequence. Totally unlike any other show I’ve seen - ugly, beautiful, horrible, humorous, cringeworthy, sad, frustrating, hopeful, and very human. A direct glimpse into what fragile and fallible creatures we are. It got to me on so many emotional levels, and now all I can think about is how I want more.
Honestly my vocabulary is not good enough to describe how I felt about this series. It was incredible. Perfect balance of humour craziness and high quality production. The plot just makes so much sense, it all links together and with a deeper meaning. I will be watching it again in the future
Best show in years. Every character was complete and engaging. So well written, directed and edited. What a surprise to find. I went in with no expectations and actually only because of Steven Yuen but binged it over 3 evenings. Could have done it quicker but was savoring it. Thank you to everyone!
My expectations were really low for BEEF, but it ended up being so much more than I ever could've imagined. Loved it from start to finish, and the script (particularly in the last episode) is masterful. Excellent acting, love the way the two main characters' stories intertwine and when they interact it's so satisfying. This is the type of show I could watch over and over again.
One of the best series ever!! So interesting, original, deep and real!! Amazing perfoming and writing! You guys deserve an award for this! Thank you❤❤❤
That last scene was hard but what really killed me was the music choice and that goes for ALL the music choices in the show. I’m curious to know why they used 90s/early 00s songs to define their show but I absolutely loved it, it made me much more invested somehow and closing out with “Mayonaise” by the Smashing Pumpkins really broke me
That feeling, I know it all too well. I've never felt more understood by anything than the experience this show offered me. Thank you to everyone who worked on this project. It truly helped me.
This show was incredible. As a Korean American it captured a lot of Korean culture that no one talks about in the funniest way possible I binged this show in 1 night!
This show is genius. The writing, the acting, the camera work. Everything is perfect and I will now personally be going on a mission to make every single person I've ever interacted with, watch it. Incredible work!
Amazing show that gave a voice to so many things I can’t explain. If you don’t address your trauma, it ends up eventually hurting those you love the most … but most people don’t recognize it (or blame the world instead of looking inward) until the damage is done. So sad, sooooo accurate.
I'm so happy the hospital bed scene was made by Ali... thank you so much for giving us that scene. It really made me happy to see that glimmer of hope, and home. Thank you for this amazing series, guys!!
My wife and I binged this one in one go, even though we never do that anymore. It just speaks too well to us - I'm not Asian American but she is, but it's also so much about 90's kids now in their late 30's. The entire soundtrack was basically what was popular when I was in High School.
This show is so well executed. The dialogue, the emotions, the events that happen and the acting. I absolutely love this show and its messages. Do watch it, highly recommended
I’m totallly in love with this show. I saw many feelings in my life mirrored in these 10 episodes. Plase don’t make a second sesson. The story wrapped up on the highest note ever.
They are right in saying there was a possible romcom angle. I am glad they didn’t go that expected angle, cause Amy and Danny’s relationship was heartbreaking, funny and so incredible
This series was excellent. Ali surprised me with her dramatic acting skills because she's one of the funniest comedians I have ever heard. The crows talking was an awesome and strange surreal moment that I loved as well as the long conversation between Amy and Danny while dying. They talk about all sorts of issues, the big questions. That's one thing I'm loving about Netflix is that they are using some really deep philosophical conversations for series that are on another intellectual level. There were so many ways that I identified with Amy and ways that so many women in our present day have to be a certain person wearing a mask all the time. Danny's story is a tragic and heartbreaking one but I loved that he was seeking out spiritual solace because sometimes it's all a person has. A wonderful series that I'm so happy I watched.
This show grabs you and doesn't let you go for all 10 episodes. The comedy aspect drew me in but the emotional and psychological moments keeps you wanting to see more. Any human can relate to all the emotions these 2 go through
This show is absolute perfection....! It really shows how we all fight with ourselves, tame our inner ghosts so that our loved ones don't see that bad side of you because you are afraid of ending up alone... Man childhood trauma really molds your personality and this show has perfectly shown that.. Loved it.. Binged watch a show after a really long time..
I just binged watched the show and finished it last night. What a wild ride of emotions. This was amazing. When I saw the last episode show I was bummed it was gonna be over but when I watched the ending I was at peace. Amazing.
Truly love what they were able to create. I found myself sobbing at times because that's how life is, you get so lost in what's going on with yourself, that you forget there are many others going through the very same thing. We don't know what each person is going through in life unless we're completely honest with our own vulnerability, so it couldn't hurt to try to be nicer to each other. Phenomenal show, the pain they were able to put on display is very real and very relatable. Thank you for this.
Netflix's Beef. This show. Oh my gosh. When Netflix first announced this show, just the summary and casting alone had me immediately interested and rooting hard for Netflix to give this show the greenlight and I was so ecstatic in days I was eagerly waiting for the premiere. Then April 6th arrived and I watched all 10 episodes in one sitting. This show not only lived up to the hype, but also subverted my expectations and still delivered. And I was so deeply invested and engrossed with each episode, and the writing, directing, production, plot, storyline, acting, soundtrack and cinematography are all phenomenal. And I actually watched the entire series again with my mom Eunic and noticed nuanced details I hadn't noticed before. That's how well made this show is. And Steven Yeun and Ali Wong give their fiercest and most passionate acting skills I've ever seen with their portrayals of Danny and Amy. And I also loved nuanced, non stereotypical Asian American representation that's in this show, many aspects of which actually got familiar to me afterwards. I could go on and on, but I think I've said enough. Netflix's Beef was meant to be made and I'm glad Lee Sung Jin took the time to share his twisted, pitch black funny, insightful and poignant vision with audiences. My rating: 12/10 ❤
Man oh man I’ve been dealing with chronic depression for over 20 years. The last few weeks I felt like I had a ton of bricks sitting on my chest.. I needed to get it out and struggled to release it. Binge watched this series last night 😔🥹 I haven’t cried like that in a while.. I felt seen.. I woke up today feeling lighter.. less alone and isolated. This was a masterpiece. The art.. the music.. the set designs and colors.. the characters and subject matter. Amazing.. thank you 👏🏽
I actually thought it would end with them falling for each other after the first few episodes, then it just took such a crazy turn! This is the best show I've seen in a long time!!
This show was amazing. For me, it is up there with Soprano and Breaking Bad. World class casting…I can’t imagine any other than these two playing the roles. Also, supporting casts were incredible! Hard to top David Choe for the gangster cousin role ….he was so natural! As Korean American, I could relate to the church scenes, elder brother’s confusions / pedantic attitude, and modern filial piety. No matter what stage and shape you are in your life, this TV show makes you ponder about something about yourself. Not many shows do that for me.
Agreed. I wasn't sure I could find another show that made me feel the way breaking bad did. I was pleasantly surprised by this show. I'd throw Ozark into the mix as well
100% agree. This scene made me nauseous. I had to look away and it felt like it went on forever. But on the second watch, after I was mentally prepared for the brutality, I realized the scene was actually much shorter than I thought. It's like the shock of it slowed down my perception of time. That's great screen writing right there 😅
@@therheaking I remember watching the scene and being fascinated because of the fact that I didn’t even think there would be a death like that on there. Now I watch a lot of chop em up movies like saw so I didn’t mind seeing it but I was just like wow
Watched this show straight through. The finale was so good, and the final scene, the song everything was definitely one of the best finale of any show, ever.
I just finished this show. damn amazing writting and performances. I would love to see a season 2 with with a completely different cast exploring a different beef story. Lee Sung Jin, I'll be waiting for whatever you come up with. Thank you.
I could not stop watching this series. Steven is such an amazing actor, knew this from when he starred in TWD. Great choice of actors! Loved love the storyline and the humor!
Such a good show until the last 2 episodes then it became phenomenal. Her monologue on her depression, void, the 'when nowhere feels like home, you just retreat into yourself' quote was the realest thing I've heard on TV in a long ass time. 10/10
This show is f’ing AWESOME! In addition to the main characters, they gave such great development into the supporting characters in so little time. I do have mixed feelings with wanting just 1 season,feeling that they have come full circle and yet knowing there’s so much more to explore. The supporting characters seem to be itching to be unleashed.
This show was AMAZING!!! It touched every SINGLE emotion I had and left me exhausted! I laughed, wanted to cry, and everything in between. The final scene was so impactful. It ended not how I wished but how it should have. Ali Wong, Steven Yeung and everyone else was amazing. Great cinema!!!! I loved it!!!
I just finished this series and Oh my God, they deserve oscars!!! the acting and the weird very atypical plot are just beyond words!!! Kudos to all of them!
i can’t believe i’m so late to the party but i’m actually in love with this show like i actually felt kinda warm inside after it like the feeling had looking at bros “art”
This show was such a masterpiece, the end almost gave me psychosis by how real and raw the emotions felt. it's the best thing I've ever seen. Such a beautiful masterpiece
This was by far the most amazing tv show I have ever seen. I sobbed and laughed so many times during this series. Please end it how it was and don’t do a season two. As much as I’d love more this was a perfect ending. It is literally a masterpiece
Just finished this show !!!! Was absolutely amazing wow some moments I shed a tear amazing actors definitely was not expecting to gain a new favourite show when starting this !! Truly amazing
I love this show!! Its a mix of everything..my most fave part was the last ep.. they were really just 2 lonely ppl who want to be understood.. their conversations really hit hard.. more shows like this please
What an awesome series, just when you thought one thing would happen something else came in the mix. I wasn't expecting to hear SOAD "Lonely Day" at the end of one of the episodes - but glad I did. The ending felt like a scene from a movie and was just right.
I loved how they both have nothing to hide from each other because the hate doesnt make them want to pretend or fake a persona. So the hate at the same time is so freeing.
That shows hits all the right buttons and what performances by Yuen and Wong!!!!!! I’m in love with that show!!!!!!!! It made me mad, made me cry, laugh, scared surprise, everything a human can feel I felt it. And also saw myself in Danny and that hit hard but made me realize so many things. Thank you for this series. I never binge, but finished it in 2 days because I started it late at night.
Ali Wong, you're a star, a true and amazing star! This show struck such a chord, it is acted perfectly, it is scripted and stylistically so resonant and I wish I could watch it again from the very beginning. Definitely, a beautiful production, thank you, Steven Yeun too!
This show is awesome and just felt good to watch and feel ok about not exactly being ok… “Be kind, you never know what someone else is going through” and turns out, we might not be so different after all..
Steven Yuen is amazing! If you haven't seen 'Burning" he's amazing in that. And Ali Wong KILLED it. Really impressed with a comedian getting that deep in acting.
There is such a deep innate complexity within the characters understanding of each other. They develop an appreciation for each others presence and almost cling to that as a reason to live throughout the series. The show introduces and integrates so effortlessly the ugly emotions and mental spirals of sick thoughts that connects them both in the end eventually. The idea of being hopeless with so much passion is striking. I have never related and felt so seen by these two characters because their mental demises and arcs are written so seemlessly into the facade of normal 'perfect' every day lives. Its so unsettling but real.

Steven broke my heart when he started crying at church.
Ugh me too❤ I was weeping with him
I don't often go to church so that's never happened to me in a church but I could relate to that feeling and experience so much.
Oh yeah, not ashamed to admit I was crying with him
Oh YES, the best episode for me. He had me Crying as well.The song “Come to the Altar”was so emotional 😢
Yea, me too.
As someone who has suffered with chronic depression for most of my life, I have never been seen as much as by this series. Thankyou for making me feel less alone in the world.

One of the best series ever!! So interesting, original, deep and real!! Amazing perfoming and writing! You guys deserve an award for this! Thank you❤❤❤
That last scene was hard but what really killed me was the music choice and that goes for ALL the music choices in the show. I’m curious to know why they used 90s/early 00s songs to define their show but I absolutely loved it, it made me much more invested somehow and closing out with “Mayonaise” by the Smashing Pumpkins really broke me
The music was perfection right?!
@@marb5110 absolutely 😭😭
I think they went with the music from the main characters childhoods/growing up, childhood vs adult thing? Using those songs just hurts more lol
@@margsbaluyut you’re right, I realized that too after reading other comments. Millennial things 🥲🥲
Wondered that too! Went right back to my fun 20s when the music came on 😊
That feeling, I know it all too well.
I've never felt more understood by anything than the experience this show offered me.
Thank you to everyone who worked on this project. It truly helped me.
These three humans have such amazing chemistry. No wonder the show is so soulful.
One of the best series on Netflix ever. The panic room scene was jaw dropping, and here’s to hoping we get all three seasons.
This show was incredible. As a Korean American it captured a lot of Korean culture that no one talks about in the funniest way possible I binged this show in 1 night!
This show is genius. The writing, the acting, the camera work. Everything is perfect and I will now personally be going on a mission to make every single person I've ever interacted with, watch it. Incredible work!
Amazing show that gave a voice to so many things I can’t explain.
If you don’t address your trauma, it ends up eventually hurting those you love the most … but most people don’t recognize it (or blame the world instead of looking inward) until the damage is done. So sad, sooooo accurate.
I'm so happy the hospital bed scene was made by Ali... thank you so much for giving us that scene. It really made me happy to see that glimmer of hope, and home. Thank you for this amazing series, guys!!
My wife and I binged this one in one go, even though we never do that anymore. It just speaks too well to us - I'm not Asian American but she is, but it's also so much about 90's kids now in their late 30's. The entire soundtrack was basically what was popular when I was in High School.
This show is so well executed. The dialogue, the emotions, the events that happen and the acting. I absolutely love this show and its messages. Do watch it, highly recommended
I’m totallly in love with this show. I saw many feelings in my life mirrored in these 10 episodes. Plase don’t make a second sesson. The story wrapped up on the highest note ever.
They are right in saying there was a possible romcom angle. I am glad they didn’t go that expected angle, cause Amy and Danny’s relationship was heartbreaking, funny and so incredible
Seriously this series was a masterpiece. Never once did I guess what was coming next
This series was excellent. Ali surprised me with her dramatic acting skills because she's one of the funniest comedians I have ever heard. The crows talking was an awesome and strange surreal moment that I loved as well as the long conversation between Amy and Danny while dying. They talk about all sorts of issues, the big questions. That's one thing I'm loving about Netflix is that they are using some really deep philosophical conversations for series that are on another intellectual level. There were so many ways that I identified with Amy and ways that so many women in our present day have to be a certain person wearing a mask all the time. Danny's story is a tragic and heartbreaking one but I loved that he was seeking out spiritual solace because sometimes it's all a person has. A wonderful series that I'm so happy I watched.
This show grabs you and doesn't let you go for all 10 episodes. The comedy aspect drew me in but the emotional and psychological moments keeps you wanting to see more. Any human can relate to all the emotions these 2 go through
This show is absolute perfection....! It really shows how we all fight with ourselves, tame our inner ghosts so that our loved ones don't see that bad side of you because you are afraid of ending up alone... Man childhood trauma really molds your personality and this show has perfectly shown that.. Loved it.. Binged watch a show after a really long time..
this show broke me in so many ways. i loved it!
loved this series! dont even need a second season-- would i like one? sure. but it was a very close-ended narrative and it was fantastic
I just binged watched the show and finished it last night. What a wild ride of emotions. This was amazing. When I saw the last episode show I was bummed it was gonna be over but when I watched the ending I was at peace. Amazing.
Truly love what they were able to create. I found myself sobbing at times because that's how life is, you get so lost in what's going on with yourself, that you forget there are many others going through the very same thing. We don't know what each person is going through in life unless we're completely honest with our own vulnerability, so it couldn't hurt to try to be nicer to each other. Phenomenal show, the pain they were able to put on display is very real and very relatable. Thank you for this.
That’s why it’s good not to kill yourself becuase it’s a selfish move other people are going through the same thing and didn’t kill themselves
Netflix's Beef. This show. Oh my gosh. When Netflix first announced this show, just the summary and casting alone had me immediately interested and rooting hard for Netflix to give this show the greenlight and I was so ecstatic in days I was eagerly waiting for the premiere. Then April 6th arrived and I watched all 10 episodes in one sitting. This show not only lived up to the hype, but also subverted my expectations and still delivered. And I was so deeply invested and engrossed with each episode, and the writing, directing, production, plot, storyline, acting, soundtrack and cinematography are all phenomenal. And I actually watched the entire series again with my mom Eunic and noticed nuanced details I hadn't noticed before. That's how well made this show is. And Steven Yeun and Ali Wong give their fiercest and most passionate acting skills I've ever seen with their portrayals of Danny and Amy. And I also loved nuanced, non stereotypical Asian American representation that's in this show, many aspects of which actually got familiar to me afterwards.
I could go on and on, but I think I've said enough. Netflix's Beef was meant to be made and I'm glad Lee Sung Jin took the time to share his twisted, pitch black funny, insightful and poignant vision with audiences.
My rating: 12/10 ❤
The 2 babies playing Danny and Paul younger selves are the cutest Asian babies I've ever seen! Sooo adorable Time stamp at 2:28.
Baby Amy was also SUPER adorable.
Man oh man I’ve been dealing with chronic depression for over 20 years. The last few weeks I felt like I had a ton of bricks sitting on my chest.. I needed to get it out and struggled to release it. Binge watched this series last night 😔🥹 I haven’t cried like that in a while.. I felt seen.. I woke up today feeling lighter.. less alone and isolated. This was a masterpiece. The art.. the music.. the set designs and colors.. the characters and subject matter. Amazing.. thank you 👏🏽
Never heard of Lee Sung Jin before but man this show definitely put him on the map, I'm excited to see what he comes up with next!!
this was such a beautiful watch. loved the writing.
I cried several times during this show, when Steve was in the church, and also in the end. Really got me, nice job!
I actually thought it would end with them falling for each other after the first few episodes, then it just took such a crazy turn! This is the best show I've seen in a long time!!
truly one of those shows I wish I could go back and watch for the first time again.
Loved the finale. I was hoping for that.
This show was amazing. For me, it is up there with Soprano and Breaking Bad. World class casting…I can’t imagine any other than these two playing the roles. Also, supporting casts were incredible! Hard to top David Choe for the gangster cousin role ….he was so natural!
As Korean American, I could relate to the church scenes, elder brother’s confusions / pedantic attitude, and modern filial piety.
No matter what stage and shape you are in your life, this TV show makes you ponder about something about yourself. Not many shows do that for me.
Agreed. I wasn't sure I could find another show that made me feel the way breaking bad did. I was pleasantly surprised by this show. I'd throw Ozark into the mix as well
4:57 such a brutal, but well crafted scene. This series was brilliant.
100% agree. This scene made me nauseous. I had to look away and it felt like it went on forever. But on the second watch, after I was mentally prepared for the brutality, I realized the scene was actually much shorter than I thought. It's like the shock of it slowed down my perception of time. That's great screen writing right there 😅
@@therheaking I remember watching the scene and being fascinated because of the fact that I didn’t even think there would be a death like that on there. Now I watch a lot of chop em up movies like saw so I didn’t mind seeing it but I was just like wow
I can't believe the finale was written during production. Absolutely amazing work and collaboration between everyone. Such an incredible piece!
Watched this show straight through. The finale was so good, and the final scene, the song everything was definitely one of the best finale of any show, ever.
I just finished this show. damn amazing writting and performances. I would love to see a season 2 with with a completely different cast exploring a different beef story. Lee Sung Jin, I'll be waiting for whatever you come up with. Thank you.
I could not stop watching this series. Steven is such an amazing actor, knew this from when he starred in TWD. Great choice of actors! Loved love the storyline and the humor!
Such a good show until the last 2 episodes then it became phenomenal. Her monologue on her depression, void, the 'when nowhere feels like home, you just retreat into yourself' quote was the realest thing I've heard on TV in a long ass time.
10/10
Wow, I absolutely loved this series. Such an underrated series
This show is f’ing AWESOME! In addition to the main characters, they gave such great development into the supporting characters in so little time. I do have mixed feelings with wanting just 1 season,feeling that they have come full circle and yet knowing there’s so much more to explore. The supporting characters seem to be itching to be unleashed.
Last two episodes were poetic cinema
Really liked episode 7. Just before everything goes to hell.
This was one of the best viewing experiences I’ve had in life. Thank you.
The last episode is one of the strongest Finalies I've ever watched! Just woooow. So powerful and meaningful ❤ it made me tear up like a baby...
This show was AMAZING!!! It touched every SINGLE emotion I had and left me exhausted! I laughed, wanted to cry, and everything in between. The final scene was so impactful. It ended not how I wished but how it should have. Ali Wong, Steven Yeung and everyone else was amazing. Great cinema!!!! I loved it!!!
I just finished this series and Oh my God, they deserve oscars!!! the acting and the weird very atypical plot are just beyond words!!! Kudos to all of them!
i can’t believe i’m so late to the party but i’m actually in love with this show like i actually felt kinda warm inside after it like the feeling had looking at bros “art”
This show was such a masterpiece, the end almost gave me psychosis by how real and raw the emotions felt. it's the best thing I've ever seen. Such a beautiful masterpiece
The panic room scene when Jordana dies is gut wrenching
This series was simply therapeutic.
I just finished it. This had no right on being this fucking good omg
This was by far the most amazing tv show I have ever seen. I sobbed and laughed so many times during this series. Please end it how it was and don’t do a season two. As much as I’d love more this was a perfect ending. It is literally a masterpiece
Some of the most remarkably great television I've ever seen. So fantastic. Unique, fresh, powerful, entertaining.
Just finished this show !!!! Was absolutely amazing wow some moments I shed a tear amazing actors definitely was not expecting to gain a new favourite show when starting this !! Truly amazing
I love this show!! Its a mix of everything..my most fave part was the last ep.. they were really just 2 lonely ppl who want to be understood.. their conversations really hit hard.. more shows like this please
What an awesome series, just when you thought one thing would happen something else came in the mix. I wasn't expecting to hear SOAD "Lonely Day" at the end of one of the episodes - but glad I did. The ending felt like a scene from a movie and was just right.
I think it is the most original, fun, deep and captivating series I have seen in ages!!! Loved every bit of it!
Man that last scene in the season finale got some tears out of me
One word to describe this show - Masterpiece
I was completely unaware that Danny's hand hugs back Amy at the end. Now that's the closure than an open dialog.
As someone going through similar struggles with their mental health, it's weird how a series seem to be the only one that understands you.
I loved how they both have nothing to hide from each other because the hate doesnt make them want to pretend or fake a persona. So the hate at the same time is so freeing.
This show is the only good Netflix original that has come out in months now
I would also recommend First Love. It has that kind of rawness to it as well.
I would say in years
That shows hits all the right buttons and what performances by Yuen and Wong!!!!!! I’m in love with that show!!!!!!!! It made me mad, made me cry, laugh, scared surprise, everything a human can feel I felt it. And also saw myself in Danny and that hit hard but made me realize so many things. Thank you for this series. I never binge, but finished it in 2 days because I started it late at night.
Ali Wong, you're a star, a true and amazing star! This show struck such a chord, it is acted perfectly, it is scripted and stylistically so resonant and I wish I could watch it again from the very beginning. Definitely, a beautiful production, thank you, Steven Yeun too!
Netflix! I loved this show! I need more videos on the behind the scenes writing, actors, bloopers etc! Please and thank you!
Tell me why did i notice just now that Danny hugged Amy back at the hospital bed scene??? 🥲🥲🥲 This show is a masterpiece 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Now that you mentioned it, I rewatched it & you’re right!! He hugged her back!! Makes me so happy to see that!! Thanks for noticing!!
I saw that too
"You gotta get away from me" is a fucking amazing line to improvise
The last minute of the finale was touching, filled with angst, and satisfying.
I was in a hospital for a week and binge watched this whole show throughout my treatment. Great show.
This show is awesome and just felt good to watch and feel ok about not exactly being ok…
“Be kind, you never know what someone else is going through” and turns out, we might not be so different after all..
Steven Yuen is amazing! If you haven't seen 'Burning" he's amazing in that.
And Ali Wong KILLED it. Really impressed with a comedian getting that deep in acting.
There is such a deep innate complexity within the characters understanding of each other. They develop an appreciation for each others presence and almost cling to that as a reason to live throughout the series. The show introduces and integrates so effortlessly the ugly emotions and mental spirals of sick thoughts that connects them both in the end eventually. The idea of being hopeless with so much passion is striking. I have never related and felt so seen by these two characters because their mental demises and arcs are written so seemlessly into the facade of normal 'perfect' every day lives. Its so unsettling but real.
