Review of Beef

Beef (2023– )
3/10
Annoying characters
7 April 2023
The creators of this series deliberately made it painful to watch. In Every. Single. Scene. One or more characters is acting in an unreasonable, annoying, frustrating manner. There is literally no scene where two people are talking or interacting with other and both make sense.

This is manipulative and a cheap way to make the story move. Characters alternate between acting like jerks and acting like victims. It's a cheap trick storytellers use to wear the audience down.

The only non-annoying character in the series is the 5-year old daughter, who seems to be a remarkably good actress.

Unfortunately my better half likes the series, so I'm forced to keep watching it and all of its manufactured tension building. I don't think the two main actors are suited to writing screenplays.
