Netflix viewers have been urged to watch 'one of the best ever' shows on the streaming platform.
We've been in the painful situation of wasting hours by flicking between shows on various streaming platforms and having no clue what to watch.
If this sounds like you don't worry, you're in luck, as Netflix has a chaotic and entertaining revenge-comedy series ready to binge.

Check out the trailer here:
Starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, Beef follows the story of two people whose lives are changed forever by a dramatic road rage incident which gets more than a little out of hand.
Yeun plays Danny Cho, a 'struggling contractor of Korean heritage' who snaps after a stressful day, while Wong stars as Amy Lau, a small business owner and the other party in the road rage incident.
Joesph Lee, Young Mazino, David Choe and Patti Yasutake also feature in the series.

Released in April last year, the 10-episode debut series has been a critical and commercial success, receiving a score of 8/10 on IMDb and 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.
"It is a funny, erotic, horrifying portrait of two people locked in a manic-depressive spiral of mutually assured destruction, which is an epic achievement on its own," Buzzfeed wrote in its review of the series, while The Times called it: "A nerve-jangling, synapse-zinging ride into madness."
Fans have also praised the series online, with one viewer writing on social media: "Beef on Netflix is so well written."
"Beef is one of the best seasons of TV that I have ever seen. Just a masterclass in storytelling. An all time performance from Steven Yeun," a second person added.

"Watched Beef front to back again and somehow it got even better??? Sorry but nothing compares to this show right now," a third commented.
There is even more good news for fans of the show, as it seems that a second season of Beef could soon be heading our way. The show was initially billed as a limited series, however, creator Lee Sung Jin has made no secret of his wish to turn Beef into an anthology show, with each season telling its own self-contained story.
We initially pitched this idea around town as a limited anthology, so that was always our design. That’s why the story is pretty close-ended," Lee said in a previous interview with GQ.
"So if it doesn’t happen, then I’m pretty content because we always wanted the story to end the way it did. But at the same time, if things change and there’s some great groundswell from people demanding more Danny and Amy from Netflix, I’m open to that as well."

So far nothing has been made official, though a report by Deadline suggests the streamer is currently eyeing up superstars Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny.
