Nostalgie de la boeuf

Rewatching Beef. Creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin discussed the show's harrowing ending:

I've been reading some online reactions of certain people feeling like the show kind of went off the rails, and they're right. The show very clearly does go off the rails, because I think so many times in life, where you start and where you end up, you're just like, how the hell did I get here?

Another source of stress may be the contradiction of a multimillion-dollar production that's telling the viewer how difficult life is.

I found The Bear more harrowing but easier to watch because the characters were on a wage. Also, Ayo Edebiri.
