Critics Reviews

David Opie Empire Magazine 2d
3/5
While both seasons of Beef revolve around a different dispute, we can probably all agree that Season 2 is an amusing but unfortunate step down in quality. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 2d
As in the less conclusive first season, it feels engineered to deliver the characters to happy, or relatively happy, endings, and to send viewers out not regretting their investment of time. Go to Full Review Peter Travers The Travers Take 2d
3.5/4
Acted, written and directed with bracing brilliance, the follow-up to Season 1 is a stinging satire you won’t stop fighting about, with Charles Melton tops among acting equals Go to Full Review George M. Thomas Akron Beacon Journal 2h
A-
"Beef" offers more than its share of surprises, proves to be razor sharp in its criticism of society, especially the flawed systems that cause harm in this country, and is the type of compelling television that is imminently bingeable. Go to Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan (Medium) 3h
Lee had the perfect opportunity to write the same thrilling series. There are so many details that felt undercooked. Satirical scenes, especially those that delve into wealth, felt forced and not sharpened enough for further exploration. Go to Full Review Mark Meszoros The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH) 1d
2.5/4
Beef will, again, make you think, laugh, cringe and perhaps even cry. It also may have you eyeing the fast-forward button, as you wish at times it would get where it’s going a bit more swiftly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kristopher W. @kwarty83 1h Beef is pretty good See more Anna M L @BeachLady26 1h The actors is amazing, the story line isnt. I thought it will carry the same structure idea ljke season one but it isnt. I dont feel the "beef" much and more like forceful drama See more AJ B @DallasMajor212 8h The actors do all they can with this, but it's not enough. I'll see it through, but some of this feels like it was written by AI. See more Mike P @RT40400552 9h What an absolute pile of trash. They should have changed the name of the show. The "beef" isn't really clear cut and doesn't get resolved anyways. I can't believe I wasted hours of my life watching this garbage. I can only assume they are trolling and knew people would watch based on the first season being an actual show and not random unlikeable characters going nowhere. Also, I've seen a few comments on this but the whole hospital scene and cancer patient stuff was absolutely vile. See more Thomas H. @shrubstex 9h What a great story. The pettiness between all the characters was fascinating to watch as they tried to cover it up with good intentions. See more Alana V @RT79814923 11h I enjoyed it! It was different from Season 1 but was enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
