In Netflix’s Beef trailer, Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) and Amy Lau (Ali Wong) become mortal enemies after an altercation spirals out of control. Life will get complicated for both parties as revenge becomes their focus, and one act of retribution is far from enough.

Have you ever experienced a heightened instance of road rage? Can you tell us what happened? I’ve witnessed a few nasty altercations in parking lots and on suburban roads. One time, someone took a person’s kayak off their roof and sent it flying through the back window of their van, there was glass everywhere, and the owner of the vehicle was shouting things I can’t print here. I wonder if Danny and Amy will find love after their violent spat. We’ll find out when Beef brings raw comedy to Netflix on April 6, 2023.
