Earlier this year NME ranked the best TV series released in 2023 so far. Among the list was Beef, The Bear, The Last Of Us and Black Mirror.

NME said of Netflix‘s Beef: “A road rage incident triggers a feud that turns more toxic than Andrew Tate’s contacts list in this blistering A24-produced series that pits Ali Wong and Steven Yeun against each other as newfound nemeses who are constantly raising the stakes of their enmity.”

The best episode is number nine, The Great Fabricator, which “ratchets up the tension to exhilarating levels, culminating in a kidnapping and shocking demise”.
