Beef Season 2 premieres on Netflix

Created by Lee Sung Jin, the new installment shifts its focus from road rage to the themes of envy and social status.

Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny round out the central quartet of characters whose lives become dangerously intertwined.

While some critics have noted the season feels 'overcooked' compared to its predecessor, others have praised the 'prime' performances of its leads.

The series continues to be a major showcase for complex character studies and dark comedic storytelling.
