The website's consensus reads: "Ali Wong and Steven Yeun are a diabolically watchable pair of adversaries in Beef, a prime cut comedy that finds the pathos in pettiness.

    Important update: White House faces crisis on multiple fronts. Canada retaliates. GOP midterm convention a "shit show." Beef supply runs low and mystery beef is coming in. Meanwhile, we remember Dolly's legacy. And, our reporting helped release the father of a service member taken by ICE.

    While shooting the Big Belly burger scene with Harcourt and Peacemaker, I got a call from our close close friend Mikaela Hoover saying that she had been cast in the series Beef. Jenn started crying when I told her, so I sent a picture to Mikaela to make fun of Jenn but also show how loved she was.

    Good Emmy telecast overall, and The Bear, Succession, and Beef are all great. But it's an increasing problem that each year, one show apiece so thoroughly dominates the comedy, drama, and limited series categories. Beef won everything it was eligible for, and The Bear and Succession both came close.

    I think because with those, at least with True Detective S1 and Beef S1, each season is an anthology. So the other seasons in the series aren’t part of the same story. But I agree and would still group them together despite that. Still the same show even if the characters and story are different.

    I don't think it was? Same went for Beef. I wasn't in on this decision either but I assume it was thus for all "anthology series" (eg Fargo and AHS tho none of those seasons made the list). IOW, each season was treated as a separate work for ballot purposes.

    The makers of Beef have found a nee way to wreck a series. After a brilliant first season, they're back with a season that is often told in rapid-fire texts. Just what we need. More time on our phones. It doesn't help that Oscar Isaac channels bad Al Pacino - but the texts just destroy it.

    on sale you can also do a beef roast over night in the show cooker and shred it up, then add beef broth and peas and carrots. Beef heart is VERY cheap so I usually add that too). Hamburger when it's on sale works too. P.S. Pork is too rich for dogs.

    I don't know much about Beef but I can sorta see the justification for True Detective: it's basically an anthology series, where the only thing connecting the various seasons is a vibe. S2 was crap but it didn't share much with S1 other than the title and some production staff.

    They did it with The Beef too, I guess it's kind of fair to consider a season as a unit for these anthology series. OTOH White Lotus is also an anthology (albeit with some recurring characters) and they didn't break it out so... 🤷
