Netflix: Beef, Gotdamn good show

Indeed. Glad you're checking it out and seeing why it was so well-received.


Meant to ask you ... how far along have you gotten on both series, The Bear, and Barry?

Second season of the Bear I have to watch the 2nd episode

4 episode of Barry first season

LOVE THEM BOTH.

the only problem I can't be interrupted watching either and that can be tough.

Agreed.


Barry is consistent throughout. Really cool to see Hader direct the entirety of the final season.


Cool thing about The Bear is some of the recent award wins are for the 1st season (due to the delay of the Emmys from last fall to earlier this month). The 2nd season is even better than the 1st (so more awards are on the way!)

There's some great character development in season 2, and some standalone episodes which are really worth seeing.
 
Make it like an anthology series format, perhaps?

Exactly

Now if you want it all to take place in the same universe? White Lotus style? OK

But Danny Amy story done for now and probably forever.

So when Danny says I went to your house and poured lighter fluid all over your car

But I stopped JUST before I threw the match because I happened to see your baby in the back seat at the last minute

Old Munch ain't gonna forgive that.

Let's move on to another culture because west Indian beef, Middle Eastern beef, Latino beef, NY, NY, Minnesota etc etc

ain't the same.

Good points.

The format has definitely been working for Fargo and The White Lotus.

Like you said, beef can take on so many forms across cultures.

And the team behind season 1 knew what they were doing and are probably thrilled at the response they received after 1 season alone. That has to feel great creatively.

Sit down in the writers room after telling Netflix to cough up some more fucking cash. Cold hard $$$.

Look if that team REALLY believes they can do a season 2 that doesn't diminish the great work they have already done?

And get rich doing it?

Okay.

But it ain't gonna be easy.

This was a masterwork that was so culturally specific and its specificity made it universal

I don't just want to watch 10 episodes of angry Asians getting revenge. So Issac gets out of Jail Paul goes back to school Dean gets divorced leaves the church and EVERYONE hates Danny and Amy?

Indeed.

The mindset to have is that you’re the defending champs.

Tell those suits at Netfucks, “if you want more Emmys and Golden Globes ... show me the money / where them dollas at?”

Tell them you want to do it right and need to secure the right people, and you’re off and running ...
