Beef

Korean writer and director Lee Sung Jin has done it again. His season 2 of the Netflix show Beef is as nuanced and interesting as the first. He once again explores human complexity in a way that makes us examine our own options were we placed in the same circumstances. We question what we might do when trapped into difficult corners. 

Jin drops people into moral dilemmas and lets them unravel and then rebuild themselves in their own unique ways. 

Each season is distinct with characters actors and different situations. Both present us with complex and fleshed out characters who are conflicted and who wrestle with decisions in ways which makes them relatable.

I love shows where I am asked to think and where the plot isn't telegraphed to me in advance. 

Highly recommended.
