Beef season 2

BEEF: Season 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix - YouTube BEEF: Season 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix - YouTube
Watch On

Available: US/UK

The second season of anthology show Beef changes up the setting, the tone, and the cast. Season 2 is set in an elite country club where a young couple, Ashley (Cailee Spaeny) and Austin (Charles Melton), witness the club's manager Josh (Oscar Isaac) and his wife Lindsay (Carey Mulligan) embroiled in an explosive argument. They film it with the plan to use it as leverage to improve their own situation, but things quickly go very wrong indeed.

The first season of Beef was incredibly compelling TV. This second run takes things in a different direction, one that can't help but draw comparisons with The White Lotus. While perhaps not as instantly addictive as that first run, this is still great drama with a star-packed cast.

Watch Beef.

This new South Korean drama follows a group of people working in the entertainment industry and struggling with the sense that life is passing them by. Dong-man (Koo Kyo-hwan) is an aspiring director who meets producer Eun-ah (Go Youn-jung). Bonding quickly, they begin to unpick the mess of jealousy, feelings of inadequacy, and other things that have been holding them back all this time.

Written by Park Hae-young, the acclaimed writer behind My Mister and My Liberation Notes, this looks like an intriguing new character drama about two people finding and bringing out the best in each other. The full series is streaming from April 18.

Alpha Males season 5

Watch On

Available: US

The fifth season of this Spanish comedy reunites us with Santi (Gorka Otxoa), Pedro (Fernando Gil), Luis (Fele Martínez), and Raúl (Raúl Tejón). The Alpha Males have tried to adapt to the modern world by reinventing masculinity. Now they're facing the harsh realities of divorces, mortgages, and dating. Pedro throws himself into a new relationship, while Raúl spirals into crisis.

Alpha Males began as a parody of out-of-touch men with old fashioned views but has grown into something more nuanced and character based. The fifth season is streaming now.

Watch Alpha Males.
