Beef (2023-).

Anxiety, extreme pettiness, and cascading psyches in the suffocating urban nightmare that is modern living, which is a mission at times. You really don’t know what might happen next in this show, and it has a Magnolia (1999) quality to it. The last two episodes approached the ludicrous but then I did consider the overwhelming evidence that these rivals frequently teeter on the barking mad classification, so it all sort of works.

And where would these series be without smartphones? I suppose it’s an accurate reflection of things. 

Black comedy with some pathos, and it doesn’t outstay its welcome. Better than most offerings out there.
