Beef: The Great Fabricator (2023)
Worst episode of the series
Mass chaos and "main" characters dying does not automatically make good television. There are so many things that don't make any logical sense in this episode.
The entire climax of the episode is built off of sheer coincidence that June somehow gets in Danny's car when he is fleeing the fight between him and George.
When Amy finds out that June was "kidnapped", why does she stay at Jordan's house and not leave to find her daughter? Earlier in the show we know that Amy is doing everything she can to please Jordan into solidifying her business deal, but that doesn't matter anymore so what is the point of staying?
When Isaac gets to Jordan's house why did Amy ask if June was ok - completely giving away to Jordan and Naomi that she set up this robbery. We can also hear the police sirens in the distance when it was said multiple times not to call the police.
Then they try to come up with a plan to make Danny and Paul look like they are holding everyone hostage. So why would your plan for this mean locking them in a room by themselves. That literally just makes Danny and Paul look like the hostages!!!
When the police finally get to Jordan's house, there is a massive fire fight where the police are literally just spraying bullets into this house like its a warzone when there are only like two bad guys with pistols.
Not going to go into Jordan dying because I didn't care about that character.
Although throughout the series we see the characters making repeatedly terrible decisions, those can be understood due to the compulsive nature characters like Danny and Amy make all the time. In this episode things just happened to make chaos which I presume they thought would be entertaining. Sadly, I guess the writers were right because a lot of people seemed to love this episode, but compare it to any award winning series and you will find writing 10 times better than this.
I loved Steven Yuen and Ali Wong's performances throughout the show so I was pretty sad that it ended as it did.
