"Exploring the Themes of Netflix's 'Beef': Delusions, Rage, and Dangerous Delights"

Netflix's "Beef" uses 10 title card paintings by David Choe to visually escalate the tension between the characters. The title cards look like museum pieces but are betrayed by the font over the imagery and the cut to the episode titles. Creator Lee Sung Jin wanted to set the mood of the show from the very beginning and found an excellent match in Choe's frenetic and messy paintings. The title text was custom-designed to fit each painting, and composer Bobby Krlic's score adds to the impact of the title cards.

"Steven Yeun and Ali Wong shine in Netflix's revenge thriller 'Beef'"

"Beef," the new Netflix series starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, follows two people trapped in a destructive cycle of vengeance. The dark dramedy from creator Lee Sung Jin begins as a manic vengeance adventure but veers sharply into an intense, philosophical exploration of generational trauma, the Asian immigrant experience, and the fathomless mystery of our inner selves. Yeun and Wong give searing performances as two damaged people fighting their way back to the light, but the show suffers from pacing issues and bloat in the middle episodes.
